Price http://marcaprice.com/miscellaneous/racially-profiled-and-cuffed-in-detroit/ Ironically today was a day when I woke up thinking that it would be really cool to live in America again. I was browsing through my news feeds and I discover in fact that no it would not be at all cool because the country has gone completely nuts. Everyone who has ever made an assumption about someone because of the way they look should read this and have a good hard think about consequences.

Silly me. I thought flying on 9/11 would be easy. I figured most people would choose not to fly that day so lines would be short, planes would be lightly filled and though security might be ratcheted up, we’d all feel safer knowing we had come a long way since that dreadful Tuesday morning 10 years ago.

But then armed officers stormed my plane, threw me in handcuffs and locked me up.

I’m really mad about the fact that Professor Internet is a cat. It is both wrong, dumb and super-wrong.

Price http://marcaprice.com/miscellaneous/want-to-know-prints-future-it-will-cost-you%e2%80%a6/ Nice article on the future of electronic publishing…

Underground success: the average UK shopper now spends £4 per month on ebooks.
The publication of The Waste Land app, as reported by my Observer colleague John Naughton, marks the end of the beginning. After a decade of panic about the future, it signals a rapprochement between print and digital culture. This new coexistence is supported by the figures. The average UK shopper now spends £4 per month on ebooks. For Random House USA, some 30% of its sales now come from ebooks. After a perfect storm of economic, technological and cultural change from 2000 to 2010, publishers can detect a silver lining.

Look to see this trend accelerating a change in reading habits unprecedented since Caxton. Publishers, literary agents, booksellers and writers are all puzzling over the impact. John B Thompson, author of Merchants of Culture, says: “Truthfully, no one knows what the future holds.”

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
