Daily Thoughts 08/27/2014

I checked the Facebook and Twitter pages for the library.

I am reading more of The Circle by Dave Eggers.  I rather like some of the slogans in the book, Secrets are Lies,  Sharing is Caring, and Privacy is Theft.  The last statement is a reminder to me that your personal information is valuable to corporations and hiding it from public view is a way to protect a private asset.  There is also a bit on the idea of the slogan Information Wants to Be Free in this book.  This is a famous quite from the open source software movement.  This is a Wikipedia article on the statement.  In this case Wikipedia in some embodies the statement.
