Daniel’s Tweets for 2008-07-01

  • Nothing like mindless Family Guy to entertain and let the brain turn to mush. #
  • Time to walk the dog one last time before the day ends. Such fun. #
  • I just discovered a domain that isn’t in use. I want to buy it soooooooooo bad, but I’m poor. Dammit. #

  • Well, I took the dive at Linkedin last night. Perhaps I’m too spread out. #

This time, I came across an article on Popular Mechanics site that discusses the pros and cons of NGI (Next Generation Identification) technology.

Lockheed Martin has been commissioned to develop this system that will presumably be used to maintain photos, retinal scans, and possibly other information about ‘criminals’. All of this information will be stored with our government as a grand database of people identifiers.
