Usual stuff...rants, opinions, stuff I've seen that I think is interesting. Mostly IT, bikes and beer and a little bit of politics.

Making a point about privacy
Worth $30million and under 'regional arrest'. This article "Grounded: Millionaire John Gilmore stays close to home while making a point about privacy" is about John Gilmore's attempt to get the US government to come clean about the encroachment on civil liberty that is happening in the name of security in the post 9/11 world. As Bruce Schneier points out, many of the things we are asked to do in the name of 'security' often do nothing to make us more secure, yet do much to compromise our freedoms. I'm impressed by what Gilmore is doing - if he needed it I'd probably even send him money.
