I rank the ACLU as one of my least favorite organizations. But they have a very good animation about the “power” of linked databases. It is very funny to me that they think the Bush Administration is really to blame for this “big brother future as defined by the ACLU.” [pointer]

I did watch the new UPN show “Amish in the City” – it was pretty interesting. Our family has vacationed in Northern Indian where there is a good number of Amish communities, and that peaked my interest to read the book “History of the Amish” a couple of years back.
The “Amish Kids” on the show defintiely seem more down to earth than the “City Kids.”
The Amish are an interesting group of people from a social, polictical, and spirtual standpoint. The one thing that really struck me though will watching the show when they visited the Pacific Ocean/beach was the sense that if they don’t travel much that the miss a lot of God’s beauty like at the beach or Redwood forests or National Parks.

For some odd reason I find this interesting – I got an email from United Airlines (UA) in regards to my frequent flyer status. They were advertising a new Sony super small laptop.
If you buy the laptop you get X# of more miles via the promo and this can get increased if you sign up for their VISA and use your new UA Visa to buy the laptop.
To make this even more appealing, all these new miles can get doubled because of my frequent flyer status, and then at the end of the message there is a reminder that I can use my “extra earned” mileage to buy Sony online music.
A ‘nice and neat’ marketing approach IMHO.
