Hi Ron, Nice post.
I remember having the very same reaction with my Motorola Cliq. It was kind of eerie. But now that the novelty has worn off, I find myself looking forward to even more integration. The thing that scares me a bit is the way more companies are aggregating our info and dishing it out to people who will pay.

I’ve been looking around forcedsimplicity.com and actually am impressed by the great content material here. I work the nightshift at my job and it really gets boring. I’ve been coming right here for the past couple nights and reading. I simply wanted to let you know that I have been enjoying what I’ve seen and I look forward to reading more.

There's a digital archive of maps and air photos of Iowa here: http://cairo.gis.iastate.edu/client.cgi?zoom=1&am...
It's a great way to see the changes in Fairfield over the last 100 years

I wasn't pissed off at you. I just think this is the worst thing you've ever written, and not because of my personal feelings. I'm actually in agreement with many things in this post. But you can't just use grand hyperbole and generalization like "the very direction of enlightenment in the world" with no reasoning. Why do you think this? What gives you reason to believe that? I'm asking seriously. When you say entity, who are you referring to? The majority? The government? Your immediate connections/hometown? What is it that you think "loves" you and is a force of good in the world? You need to explain your terms clearly. This is fodder for discussion, not just a single bold statement. If the post is left to speak for itself, it's going to speak badly of you. I want it to be a discussion, hell, I even want you to win, but don't just leave it like it is. You've shown me/the internet a small part of your thought, I want to see the rest.

Would it be ok if I point to this, from my web site? I’m in need of help to round up as many snippets of good info as I can.

I agree with his premise, but he makes a fatal error: You can't be proud of something you had no hand in, BUT by virtue of working on and improving that system you can feel pride in it.
In other words, I can't be proud to be born American, but I can be proud OF America, as I have helped elect leaders, improved communities, and so on.
