[Issues] SOPA Non-Post


This is a very very important issue.  I do not have enough time in my life to properly read the whole thing, study the background and criticisms, and make evaluations.  Unfortunately one must sometimes hang up their polymath dreams for an evening and just do their job, wash their dishes, and continue their regular skills training in other areas. When a time like this arises, I always try to keep in mind that nearly 30 years of life has provided me acquaintance with relative experts in many fields.

And so, instead of a real blog post of my own, I point you toward some excellent ones by the "tech boss by day, nerd hero by night" author of technical fowl:
