You heard about the Pentagon's
You heard about the Pentagon's new LifeLog project, which aims to capture everything a person sees, hears, writes, and says? Anyway, here's the official RFP for the prospective bidders. Interestingly, there's another headline today about Tivo selling records of its user's viewing habits (press release, pdf). Maybe the Pentagon should just buy those instead of developing this whole new system.
Seems to me somebody could write a great piece about what this project means to concepts of identity/biography, taxonomy, and knowledge. Reason has something, and I think Salon or somebody had something that mentions Descartes.
