[Cleaning up the very last of the old email] Arlo? Are you back from summer camp on the ISS or somewhere equally > amazing?
Oh man, I wish!I was somewhere only marginally less awesome, a Santa Fe Institute summer camp...in Groton, Massachusetts. Some more details here<http://www.santafe.edu/education/schools/summer-camp/> . I missed his "voice" especially from the perspective of a "Millennial" in > this NSA falderal. I think pretty much everyone's reaction would be / has been the same: "Of course they have been illegally spying on us, that is not news. Still outrageous, though." For a commentary on the modern American surveillance society with a link to teenagerhood, read Cory Doctorow's books *Little Brother<http://craphound.com/littlebrother/download> * and *Homeland <http://craphound.com/homeland/download>* (can be freely downloaded). I just finished them, and felt they were good reading but not particularly good fiction. Doug does or finds an `outsider' (e.g. a clever high school student) to do >> it. It's all open source and hackable. > > Sounds like a job for Arlo! I think you would probably want an outsider who is more of an insider (knowledge-wise) to cell and wireless systems than I am. I could tinker, but you would probably not get a working phone back. :P -Arlo
