Facebook “key logs” users even if the “status” is not posted

Listening to keystrokes is easy to do with javascript, I’m sure many sites do this.

You can see it in action by entering text at this keypress demo:

The NY Office

The New York Public Library is a great remote work location.  There’s free wifi everywhere, and  The Rose Main Reading Room in this photo has outlets for laptops.

There’s even a snack shop, and museum like exhibits.  The current main exhibit is a tribute to Nelson Mandela.

Lagrangeville

I’ve had pretty good luck seeing snow when I travel around Christmas time.
Lagrangeville is a small town in upstate New York. it was founded by
French settler, and cousin of Henry Hudson, Antoine LaGrange. or something
to that effect. I’m sure if you look it up on Wikipedia there’s a cool
story about how Lagrangeville was founded. Just remember though it’s
Wikipedia, it could be made up.

At 18° F, -8 Celcius, Lagrangeville would be a great vacation spot for a
global warming doubter. Later today I’ll be at a Christmas party with
those who could make it here in the storm. At the party, I’m going to start
a rumor that global warming deniers have gone to Lagrangeville courts to
have thermometers removed from the government buildings, because their
beliefs are violated. If anyone asks you about that, back me up. or
better yet, someone start an article on Wikipedia.
