I have great respect for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, but I’m getting tired of having them tell me, in great irrefutable detail, why I need to stop eating.

CFP: Beyond Otaku to the Grassroots
CFP closed today with “Quick Takes”, a series of five-minute presentations. Bruce Schneier, the moderator, made a public call for spur-of-the-moment additions, so I took the stage to talk about something that’s been bugging me about privacy activism. I’ve already had a few people ask me to put it online, so it’s posted after the break.
Covering CFP09
I’m covering CFP 2009 for TidBITS this week. My first article went live yesterday morning; part one of my coverage should be up shortly.
If you want to follow the conference yourself, follow the links from the CFP site to the live (and archived) video coverage. It’s well worth checking out the Twitter stream; not only does it contain plenty of live comments from the conference, but the live stream is being displayed on stage and is becoming part of the conversation here. I’ll have more to say about that later — it’s an extremely interesting dynamic.
It is damned hard to attend the sessions, network in the hallways, and still find the time to write articles (and participate in that live Twitstream). There’s at least four hours of conference video, filmed in another room, that I want to watch later. It’s the proverbial drink from the proverbial firehose here.
Glee Club of the Damned
Yes, it’s been a while since I wrote. I’ll be changing that soon. In the meantime, here’s the most amusing video I’ve seen in a long time.
