Who is watching the watchmen? We are. #
Several millennia ago, Juvenal asked Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ("Who will guard the guardians?"). It might please him to know that, increasingly, the answer is "everyone":
- Using Sousveillance to Defend the Commons - Technology is letting citizens "watch from below" and so make power more accountable (via reddit)
- Sousveillance in Seattle - Watching the Watchers
- Sousveillance - Steve Mann's 2002 article in which he coins the term

Batch downloading and naming videos from YouTube #Rafal (author of Duplicate Files Searcher) has crafted another cross-platform Java app: YouTube Downloader+. Simply paste one or more YouTube URLs into the text box and YTD+ will not only download the FLV(s), but also name the file(s) appropriately (unlike many tools which label YouTube downloads as "get_video" with no extension).

Business #"Business! ... Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!" - from Dickens' Christmas Carol
"Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy." - from Gibran's The Prophet
"Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business, is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things. And it is not by any means certain that a man's business is the most important thing he has to do." - Robert Louis Stevenson

CrashPlan - Insanely cool offsite backup for Windows, Mac, and Linux #Readers of this blog (both of you!) will know that I am a long time fan of Mozy. Now that they've got their millions (bought out by EMC) there is a new, leaner and meaner kid on the block: CrashPlan. These guys take automatic offsite backup to the next level by allowing you to backup not only to their servers (for a monthly fee), but also to any number of computers for free. Those computers (as well as yours) can be running Windows, OS X, or Linux, and of course everything is encrypted. They have a super-cool, intuitive UI for all this - just check out the tour by Matthew.
