Syria, Anonymity in a Connected World and Life

Been thinking about Syria. If there is a positive side for us getting involved I can’t really see it. The talk about arming the rebels has increased. Honestly I am ambivalent about the whole thing. Don’t know anybody who lives near there so whatever happens is fine.

The concept of anonymity has been on my mind lately. Stuff ranging from the easy Wally World throw away phone to getting a storage space, utilities or maybe even a short term place to stay without anybody being the wiser. I think it’s important to be realistic. Things have changed a lot since the widespread use of computers and even more since 9/11. You can go ahead and toss all those 90′s era Paladin Press Get Yer Fake ID in 4 Easy Steps books into the recycling bin. Beating a simple database search or official inquiry is probably a lot more realistic than evading the full force of a first world government, particularly if that government is the US.

Other than that not a whole lot is going on. About to end another work week which is nice. Looking forward to maybe tossing a few rounds downrange. The ammo situation seems to be getting better so I’ve been able to replace at least enough to shoot a box now here or there. Catching up on some sleep will be nice also.

Anyway that’s what is going on here.
