Updated public key

For all the other security nuts out there, I’ve updated my public key. This time I’ve included the actual useful key. If you’ve met me in person and you feel you trust me, please sign my key and return it. Include your key as well. I’ll sign yours and send it back.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I’ll try to find a good page on GPG and email privacy to link to later.

The key has it’s own page, which you can always reach from the upper right.

Paranoia

So, I scared shitless right about now.

I’ve been reading Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. It’s great, and I’ll link to the full text of the book on Cory’s site later. I think it will be my favorite book once I’m done reading it.

The story is fiction, but the setting is very real. Imagine a world where following another major terrorist attack, we lose even more freedoms to a second Patriot Act. Not too difficult, is it?

The book is creeping me out in ways that no book has before. I have little fear of rabid German shepherds. I scoff at clown monsters attacking children. I got bored with reanimated corpses.

The loss of my few remaining freedoms gives me the willies.

I set up GPG tonight. I’ll post my public key here tomorrow, after I go see Wargames.

Remember when the commies were the ones after us and not our own government? I long for those simpler times.
