Disturbing the Crickets

Ok, so I haven't been here in a while... very busy with other issues (other sites, work, etc.) and still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do with this space.  Keeping up on every twist and turn of the NSA debacle and the PATRIOT Act extension and whatnot simply isn't in the cards for me -- not for lack of interest, but because others are doing a far better job at it. 

I'm thinking about some kind of campaign to coincide with the new Congress, something to drum up debate and discussion on the rapidly eroding nature of privacy in America, perhaps revamping the proposed amendment (though I still like the current draft for its simplicity).  A few days driving through the desert might help me bring some clarity to this project.
