Aaron Saenz at Singularity Hub writes a thoughtful review of 100+:

What would you do with another 75 years on this Earth? Not as a pain wracked wizened elder in a nursing home, but as a vibrant super-centenarian with the energy of a 30 year old? Sonia Arrison is here to tell you it’s not only possible, it’s coming soon. The author, journalist, futurist and Silicon Valley insider’s latest book, 100+, explores the science and the fallout of extending our lifespans. Easy to read, and easy to understand, 100+ walks you through the incredible achievements in regenerative medicine we’ve already seen, projects them forward, and discusses the changes in environment, economy, family, and religion that will follow.

Here’s a great column from Declan on what Congress is plotting for data collection in the name of helping children.

SF has more wireless than any other US city

Sonia — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 09:17:19 +0000

JiWire says that San Francisco has 801 public hotspots — more than anywhere else in the US. The Chron’s Ryan Kim wrote a news piece about it today. I hope the mayor reads it.

Another article on nano regulation

Pre-emptive regulation of nanotech is a silly idea and I say so in this news piece.

Another great Command College seminar

Sonia — Thu, 12 Jan 2006 21:01:16 +0000

I spent another day this week leading a seminar at California’s Command College, a place where police officers go for extra training on a number of issues. My topic was technology and below are the links I said I’d post for attendees. Thanks to Tom for being a fabulous host — I’m looking forward to the next great group of people.

E-voting and paper issues

Sonia — Tue, 10 Jan 2006 18:13:51 +0000

John Wildermuth of the SF Chronicle wrote a story today about e-voting and PRI’s objections to obsessing over paper trails. As I said in the piece, the whole point of e-voting is to move away from paper and it really is just a matter of time before the Luddites lose their luster. Here’s a link to PRI’s paper on the issue and to PRI’s top ten list of California policy blunders for 2005.

More on government breaking privacy rules

Sonia — Sat, 07 Jan 2006 01:09:49 +0000

Declan and Anne wrote another great piece on this issue today. They quote me saying I think that many of the politicians that criticize businesses for data practices are hypocrites because they are just as bad or worse with their practices. Good to see that the media is paying attention.
