Privacy and Biometric Information

This afternoon Tom and I talked RFID and privacy. We talked about my concerns about the government collecting data, such as iris scans, DNA, etc and then storing it on smart cards that we are forced to have. Tom thought I was being paranoid and a cospiricy theoriest, but I believe that we are moving down a road we will not return from.

Later on the other Tom called in and we talked about securing data and off site data storage which took us full circle to the Pullman/Moscow area and development.

Transmitter Shortened Show

Today's show we were unable to be on the air for most of the show. Tom and I had a chance to chat for the first hour with each other. I had a chance to teach him how to run the board and how to do some of the necessary things about the studio.

About fifteen minutes into the second hour the transmitter came back online. I did a brief show at that point.

Tom's First Show as Co-Host

Today on The PES

Tom W is the new co-host and we spent some time talking about him, but he quickly turned the tables on me and made me answer the tough questions. We wove through subjects about the presidential candidates, "Super Tuesday", political positioning, and more.

After Tom left I started to talk about the Super Bowl when I got a call from Tom F. He told me that the Whitman County Commissioners voted to approve the bond for the Hawkins Development. It was a great day. Tom and I talked about what that meant for the area.
