I did something today that only the NRO was able to do in the '80's. I used a spy satellite. Of course it was google and I was only looking at a plastics store in Bridgeport CT. Now everybody can use spy satellites:

Watching the competition's parking lots? At least they don't have any aircraft carriers to look at in street view. At least not in Bridgeport Ct.

This is crazy.

The only way it could get any worse is if, somehow, the powers that be convince everyone to carry a compact microphone/videocam/transmitter combination that connects to a global digital network, all run by overly complex software that's susceptible to hacking by whoever.

Good thing that'll never happen.

Just as a friend I think that you should be aware that the covers on your bed and the the window curtains really don't mesh very well... perhaps you should try a unified mauve-based color scheme instead?

Generally I just alter the mesh vortex and it all comes out fine.

They're called smartphones

Didn't Batman figure out how to use all the world's smartphones to be all creepy and world-dominaty?

Like that. . .
