More delays, but I've now got a new proposed thesis proposal defense date: April 9th.

All things considered, I'm not sure I'll really believe it until I'm served with the official paperwork, but it sounds like the schedules have already been considered and all signs point to this date actually working out.

I just wish I felt less like Charlie Brown trying to kick that darned football.

How Foursquare can help people steal your stuff. PS - Want to buy some privacy insurance?

I talk a bit about the totally awesome PleaseRobMe.com and meditate a little on what it would take for people to care about privacy in a way that would keep them safe. Conclusion? They never will, so if I really want to make money I should be selling privacy insurance. If only I could figure out how to make that work... Can't you just imagine a team of lawyers descending upon your mother to do damage control when your friends' drunken antics get leaked through Facebook?
