Hi. I got a very nice email from the folks at the New York Times Magazine yesterday. They explained how they had come to reprint my content with insufficient credit and how they were very sorry. They offered me a chance to write a letter to the editor of the magazine giving myself proper attribution. We’ll see how it goes. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on how to resolve the problem.

Maybe the way they can get people to really care about the USA PATRIOT Act is to say that it’s going to affect how we shop?
Mr. Bevis, of Arundel books, said his online book buyers continue to gravitate to less controversial titles – no matter his promises of privacy. But shoppers at his Seattle store – many of whom work at a nearby federal office building – continue to buy books that in some cases might be construed as inflammatory. “But nowadays,” he said, “everybody I know who’s a federal employee is paying cash.” [NYT, lisnews]
hi
Hi. This is a linkless post so I thought I’d put it here. I have it on good authority that NYPL will be installing filters on their library terminals to bring them into compliance with CIPA. When I called their public relations office to check, I got something along the lines of “probably definitely” but that they hadn’t selected a software vendor yet. Big news?
