I have once again updated and expanded the SurvivalBlog Glossary [1]. Let me know if I missed any terms or if you spot any errors. Thanks!

Reader “The Rabid One ” mentioned this article from The Guardian, about search engine privacy [2]. He notes: “The story is of Google’s storing of search data and the user’s IP address. It also references a couple search engines that do not keep such data.” I agree with the advice to stop using Google. They log not only IP addresses but also your search phrases. Taken out of context, in a courtroom someday far in the future, those search phrases might be misconstrued. I also recommend that anyone concerned with their privacy use a secure browser interface such as Anonymizer [3] or StealthSurfer [4].

Don’t miss the article “The Secret Price of Gold” [5] by Kevin DeMeritt, posted over at Gold-Eagle.com. Here are a few quotes from DeMeritt’s piece:
“After peaking in 2001, world gold production has been steadily slipping.”
“In terms of today’s dollars, gold reached $2,176 in 1980.”
“Back in 1980, the price of an average new car was $7,609, while, according to Car and Driver magazine, the average cost of a light vehicle today is $27,800.”
