A Geek's Tour Of North America?
PlanetThoughtful writes "Later this year I'm taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to backpack around the U.S. and Canada (Sept 2003 to whenever I have to come home again). Being a lifelong Australian geek (think of Steve Irwin and then stop, because I'm nothing like that and neither is anyone else, Steve Irwin included) I'm desperately curious: what would make it to the travel itinerary of Slashdot's all-time geek-tour of North America? Think electronics, architecture, astronomy, enlightenment! Think gadgets, bookstores, software, comics, The Library Of Congress, The Smithsonian, Wanting To See Really Amazing Things! Think travelling on a budget, then forget about that if it's a 'You Must See This Before You Die' sort of suggestion. And then stop thinking about these things, and actually tell me!"
What a time to go, hope you don't get imprisoned with no rights for being 'combatant' or 'terrorist' or just for being different by all the xenophobes.

intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Walt Disney World, Florida. Home to the only independant police district that does not report anything to anyone voluntarily. More pedophiles per square mile of land that any where else in the world.
