Saw Barry Steinhardt last night.

Last night, Amber and I went to see The ACLU‘s Associate Director, Barry Steinhardt speak at UVa. (He’s also served as president of the EFF.) He was speaking, as you might expect, on Internet freedoms, specifically on privacy. I’ve been going on about privacy for years now, so it’s really great to sit and listen to somebody rational talk about the same thing. Also, I think it helped Amber realize that I’m not entirely crazy, and I don’t make up all of these weird on-line privacy stories I’m always going on about.)

He talked about Carnivore, Napster, Echelon, and he later told me that he meant to touch on the cphack case. A good time was had by all, and I feel better about the ACLU than ever.
