…and i know where you called from
This is news to me, but not good news. Apparently, not only are cell phone call records being sold but one can also buy the actual location of where the call was made from. Either these companies will have to be shut down, or there is going to a be whole new market for a cell phone maker who can encrypt or destory such information at the call center. A company that doesn’t keep (or sell) records will become very popular, I’d think.
Here’s the article. We don’t need terrorists to threaten our security. Legally-operating businesses seem to be doing a good job of that already.

Book #2 is on its way. Slowly. But getting there.
I'm finally ready to rejoin life. Slowly, too.

I've discovered the pleasure of working with Brian Gardner's WP themes. His free stuff is nearly flawless and his more expensive stuff is mind-blowing. Although his work is easy to use right out of the box, there's infinite fun to be had by customizing (i.e., destroying) it. As you can see here.
