+======================================
+On The Merits of Expartiatization
+======================================
+
+"Hairshirting" must be avoided: the benefits of all human progress should be
+leveraged going forward, and technologies and lessons learned under flawed and
+unjust organizations should not be ignored. The point is not to drop off,
+abandon, or boycott  the polical grid, it is to create a new and improved
+subnetwork of the grid. 
+
+Change happens when things are done well. 
+
+The United States, and arguably many other developed western captialist
+democracies, is stuck in a rut: political and social progress has slowed to a
+halt and momentum has been lost. It is unclear whether there is a significant
+backslide taking place or if this is just the perception from a lack of
+progress. 
+
+Other Places
+---------------
+
+Unused infrastructure is good.
+
+A balance of resources is good: enough to not be desperately dependant, but not so many that outside forces will be attracted.

+FPGA Toolchain Notes
+==========================
+
+Setup Xilinx 13.3 WebPack on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Installer archive is ~5gb, extracted will be about 5gb, install will be about
+14gb. You'll probably need root. 
+
+Download the appropriate WebPack ISE archive from the Xilinx website; you'll
+need to create an `account <http://bugmenot.com>`_. While the download is
+running, generate a WebPack license file (Xilinx.lic) and save that to your
+home folder. 
+
+    $ mkdir /tmp/ise_install
+    $ cd /tmp/ise_install
+    $ tar xvf ~/Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_13.3_O.76xd.1.0.tar 
+    $ cd Xilinx_ISE_DS_Lin_13.3_O.76xd.1.0/
+    $ sudo ./xsetup     # install as root!
+
+    # agree to license agreements
+    #
+    # select WebPack
+    #
+    # defaults for license: "Acquire or Manage..." and "Ensure Linux
+    # System...". "Install Cable Drivers" failed for me. 
+    #
+    # extract to /opt/Xilinx/13.3
+    #
+    # in the license manager that pops up, go straight to "manage licenses" and
+    # import the one you generated
+    #
+    # done!
+
+To start the IDE run `/opt/Xilinx/13.3/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/ise` (set it up as
+an alias or with a wrapper script).
