Dropbox (http://dropbox.com) has been a savior for sync'ing my multiple machines and acting has my storage in the cloud. However, you have to trust your cloud service and Dropbox has "dropped" the ball in a big way at least once. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20072755-281/dropbox-confirms-security-glit...

There are a number of competing cloud storage services out there and YouSendIt is the latest offering. Their unlimited storage is appealing, but they lack Mac sync software to make it compelling to me yet.

Aldous Huxley's Birthday Today

2011-07-27 00:00:00 -0400

This got pass around at work today.  I liked it and thought I'd share it, too.

In today’s Writer’s Almanac (link:  http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/ ) there was a quote from a 1985 book, Amusing Ourselves to Death, by Neil Postman, comparing George Orwell to Aldous Huxley:

"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture. ... In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that our desire will ruin us."
