These guys do a great job.
This won’t actually “protect your privacy” but the idea is interesting – make your search history useless to advertisers. And, if you’re bored, watching the site do its searches is weirdly fun.
Watch on the biggest screen you can.
Do people really want to put this stuff on their home burgers? Granted, I haven’t had a MacDonald’s burger in 20+ years but I don’t remember the sauce being so spectacular I’d want to buy a jar of it myself.
You can’t buy individual web history but it will be able to be bought in the future in aggregate. This article explains and has some good advice how to minimize the affect on you.
Jim Coudal made the announcement on his site today. This is who The Loop and others used to display the one small ad on the sidebar. I’ll be working with companies to fill sponsorship spots on the The Loop, as well as a new membership backend, so those that want to, can help support the site too.
A big thanks to Jim for all that he did with The Deck.
I love the old, mechanical pinball machines of my misspent youth. The newer electronic ones don’t compel me to pump quarters into them.

I don’t think Apple is getting enough credit for pulling this off without a hitch. Remarkable achievement.
How much fun would it have been to be inside that truck?

The folks at National Geographic have forgotten more about photography than I will ever know.

An eatery in Trenton, NJ, previously known as Weedman’s Joint — that sells food only in a weed-themed setting — is rebranding as “Weedbukx”. I give it 30 days before Starbucks AND Exxon file a trademark suit against them.
I can’t imagine it’ll take that long.

That doesn’t sound good, but…
The accident occurred when the driver of a second vehicle “failed to yield” to the Uber vehicle while making a turn, said Josie Montenegro, a spokeswoman for the Tempe Police Department.
