The Smithian: 'Xbox One...can recognize you from the others in the room...it can track up to six people in the room at a time! It can...
It can…measure your pulse to see how the show is causing you to react. And, it can do all this in a room completely in the dark…For advertisers, this sort of information creates entirely new possibilities…They’ll know exactly the gender, geographic location, and age demographic of every eyeball…
Can’t blame #NSA for this one.

Every corporation which bemoans, and every leader of that corporation who bemoans, the lack of
education and a workforce that is not sufficiently educated, who at the same time is now temporized by
that concern and simply outsources a job on a price basis and diminishes the tax base in this country for
education is a hypocrite and is not looking at the broad issue. Nor is he fulfilling his or her corporate
responsibilities as a leader in dealing with the stakeholders that are beyond short-term investors. They
include the employees, the suppliers, the community in which they work, and the nation that makes them
possible. We don’t hear a lot about corporate responsibility. I’m hoping that we shall soon.—Elizabeth Warren? Michael Moore? Jeanine Garofolo? (wink)
Nope, a big cheese at Fox…but this was before there was a black president.

Wall Street Journal editor Doug Blackmon's "Slavery by Another Name" pervades Georgia Life. Corporations, Peonage, Bondage & Red States...
Slavery by Another Name, now a Sundance indie documentary, was a Pulitzer winner penned by Doug Blackmon. It chronicles the use of black chain gangs, sharecropping and other peonage tools in the South post-Reconstruction to the 1940s to cement a social/political order and profit. Doug’s not a left wing nut. He’s a conservative editor of the Wall Street Journal. And he’s a great guy. Done some book festivals with him.
The Textual, Tactile, Tittilating, Tantrum-ridden, Totally multimedia musings & sometime portfolio of Dangerfield Newby, by and through is instrument on Earth, Christopher Alan Chambers. Newby died in 1859 in John Brown's raid on the federal company town of Harpers Ferry. White townspeople fed his dead body to pigs. He joined Brown to forstall the sale of his wife, not to start a revolution. And in dying, he started a revolution. His body's long disintegrated into loam; his consciousness survives in bits and bytes. Enjoy. Engage. Enrage.
Chambers is alive, of course, and lives 80 miles from Harpers Ferry in Washington DC. He teaches at Georgetown University, contributes to RT America, MSNBC and Smithsonian Magazine.
