Don't know if you've been tracking the Facebook advertising mini-scandal that's been going down the last couple of months, but it is pretty interesting. The online privacy issue has been percolating for more than a decade now, and it's becoming clear that privacy advocates are losing the battle.

Government work is a hassle, believe me. Back in the day, I held several official posts in the FBI, CIA, FDA, NSA and once at a local KFC.

For many years, I was radically opposed to the use of cell phones. Not for any profound sociological reasons, really -- I just don't particularly like getting phone calls. This is a familiar lament, but I imagine most people are trying to dodge calls from telemarketers and creditors. In my case, I have to worry about rogue Interpol agents and corporate-sponsored assassins.
