ex machina


great. it seems as if someone has found yet another way to track the unsuspecting online:
"[It] involves sending and receiving homing bits to a user's PC from multiple locations and then studying them to "triangulate" its geographic location. Quova, based in Redwood City, Calif., is a leader in this approach. It has scattered computers in about 20 cities around the world that are now constantly bouncing bits off of Internet addresses. The computers study both the route those signals take--which servers and where--and how long it takes them to reach their destination. Quova says it can provide a Web surfer's city in one-fiftieth of a second with 90% accuracy."
anonymous proxy services are looking more attractive everyday.

"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
