Another, possibly saner approach, is to have an "open life," in the sense that one really Doesn't Give A Shit what anyone knows about his life. I mean, I *pity* the poor spook or corporate hacker who gets assigned to monitoring *my* life, online or real. Poor fuck is going to die of boredom. :-) After all, it's mainly internal -- both at work and at play in my cafes. At work, I get input for the docs I have to write mainly over the Net. I then synthesize them and translate them from nerd-speak into people-speak and write them down. At play, I sometimes do the same thing with trends here at FFL. Either way, Big Fuckin' Whoop. If anyone has problems with my lifestyle, I sincerely hope that the world has not grown So Fucked Up that anyone would have the power to do anything about it. I am essentially a boring, introverted writer. At work, I get paid to channel that talent into usable information for an International Corporate Giant, one that pays me handsomely. At play, I don't get paid at all. At least not here on FFL. Quite honestly, I don't see me and my chosen lifestyle popping to the top of any Anti-Terrorism Watchlist. Not even any Anti-God or Anti-All-Things-Good Watchlist. Except here. FFL seems to be the only place where people think of me that way. That's probably the thing that keeps me around...the humor of it all. :-) :-) :-)
