Vanishing Point: How to disappear in America without a trace
Where there's water, life is possible. True, it may be very difficult and very hard to live, depending, but anyone who's driven, hiked, or camped in the American South West will have noticed that cities and ranches crop up where there's surface water or where there's been a well dug. Within the state of California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado, there are deserts, mesas, mountains, and forests where normally people never or rarely visit; not-so-secret places where there's water, access to a road within a day's hike, and where a fairly rugged individual may hide while remaining basically healthy, marginally well fed, and reasonably sane. In this section I'll look at two such environments, neither of which I would recommend, but one of which I'd suggest is a reasonable way to live in basic health while either on the run, hiding out from the law, old girl friends, the draft for an illegal war, putative wives and such. Where exactly? How I Would Do It Some Other Areas
Findory
Findory was a personalized news site. The site launched in January 2004 and shut down November 2007. A reader first coming to Findory would see a normal front page of news, the popular and important news stories of the day. When someone read articles on the site, Findory learned what stories interested that reader and changed the news that was featured to match that reader's interests. In this way, Findory built each reader a personalized front page of news. Below is a screenshot of an example personalized Findory home page. [Clicking on the screenshot will bring up a full-sized version] Findory's personalization used a type of hybrid collaborative filtering algorithm that recommended articles based on a combination of similarity of content and articles that tended to interested other Findory users with similar tastes. Findory's primary product was in news, but the broader goal of Findory was to personalize information.

NewsTarget/Truth Publishing, Sept 5, 2007 Straight to the Source The mainstream media is amusingly irrational when it comes to reporting scare stories. The latest example involves the lead content of Mattel toys made in China. But here's the interesting part in all this: Parents directly poison their children every day with products far more dangerous than Mattel toys. The press, of course, reports nothing about these other toxic products. American products poisoning American children American products, you see, are often given blanket immunity by the U.S. press. Of course, if dental fillings were made in China, the U.S. press would be screaming about their toxicity! Reporting the truth about dangerous chemicals, heavy metals and other threats to children is extremely selective. But I've had it with popular media distortions. The top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint in Mattel toys 1. 2. Think vaccines are safe? 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
Marshall Kirkpatrick » A post about some of my favorite tools: G
My friend Justin Kistner has started a blog carnival of sorts that he’s calling Advanced Operators, all about working with new tools online. He’s had smart people contribute posts on all kinds of topics on their blogs and I thought I’d participate in this round. The topic this week is “my favorite tools.” Justin has posted a good long list on his site (as well as the snazzy picture here that he designed himself!); I decided to focus on three tools in particular that I’m particularly jazzed about right now. Gmail RSS Did you know that you can get the contents of your Gmail inbox or just items with a particular filter or tag delivered via RSS? Just add a URL like this to your feed reader: where the word label is replaced with your label in GMail. Why would you want to do this? The other circomstance in which I’ve done this is to create a special section of my startpage to remind me of certain emails. FeedYes FeedDigest

Marshall Kirkpatrick » 10 ways to make remembering to read your
After building a rockin’ good OPML file for a client last month a classic problem has come up that I want to write about here: how do you stay motivated to read your feeds regularly? I subscribe to far more feeds than most people (3,000+) and am able to stay on top of them well enough. Here are some ways I do it, as well as some thoughts from some friends. Some of these are pretty standard but I hope that at least some are new to you. Organize by priority I have two folders in my feedreader, one for high priority feeds that I try to scan at least once a day and one bulk folder for feeds that I get to when and if I can. Use a river of news Different feed readers organize items in different ways and everyone has their favorite, but this is mine. Scan for things to read RSS is not email. Use other methods for “can’t miss news” I use a startpage (Netvibes) for my highest priority feeds – including some I built by splicing multiple feeds together and filtering for key terms.
