- Privacy is an illusion.
- Prisoner call centers?
- Principle, anthropic.
- Promises, promises!
- Probably couldn’t find a “Pr” word.

It’s getting harder to maintain a false façade, just as it’s difficult to think anything is truly “private” any more.
A judge has ordered a personal injury plaintiff to turn over her Facebook user ID and password so defense counsel can go on a three-week tour for evidence, from Facebook postings, that she’s exaggerating her injuries. I suppose a smoking gun for the defense would be “Bungee jumping at the gorge today. Better than last night’s Body Pump class!”
Speaking of lost privacy, how do you like the idea of corporate call centers being run by prisoners behind prison walls? Mark Shea, tongue firmly in cheek, loves it if only as microcosm:
Same Old Same Old: American workers get shaft and Evilcorp Gets all the Money. Brought to by the Alliance of Caesar and Mammon.
Also, gotta love the idea of giving my credit card information to a guy in jail. What could possibly go wrong?
Does the Anthropic Principle extend to biology?
I feel less personal stake these days than I used to feel about the evidence, or lack of it, of a designer’s hand in creation (no, I’m not prepared to unpack that), but these questions are intriguing just the same.
Frodo failed: Obama has the ring. Yet he promises to veto the Bill to make America a police state?

Bon appetit!
Having become tedious even to myself, I’m Tweeting more, blogging less. View this in a browser instead of an RSS feeder to see Tweets at upper right.
I also have some succinct standing advice on recurring themes. Maybe if I link to it, I’ll blog less obsessively about it.
