Endless Knots

Yup, iPhone tracker...a snippet of mine

This is where I downloaded the open-source app that allowed me to look at my data...

It's worth reading the FAQ for more on Apple's "thinking" in collecting this info. Troubling...

 

Shall we take numbers?

Stuart, as as per below, comments on my post of yesterday and proposes a method for dealing with these drunkish drivers. Is this the right approach? I kind of did this to a friend in a previous post, though not by name or by license plate - he ended up outing himself. But I have to admit that I had precisely this instinct yesterday, Stuart. Great minds, etc. Everyone, please weigh in.

Seriously, there ought to be a law. The next time the woman will be hitting a child, or an elderly person, or who knows what or whom. I just pray it's not someone in my family, or a close friend, or a neighbor.

Remember the old days when we'd go to the supermarket and there was a list of people who had bounced checks? Why don't we post the color, make, model, and license number of the cars/SUVs driven by these drunk drivers. Shame is powerful.

Anyone with me?

Priceless but then again it's Verizon

If I were just on Twitter, I'd simply RT this, in the argot, as in ReTweet, as in repeat someone else's tuh-weet. But alas most of you would be denied this gem, "Tales of data pirates: Opting out of Verizon's open-ended sharing," via David Weinberger:

A small legalistic pamphlet from Verizon arrived today telling me that I have 45 days to opt out of “agreeing” to let Verizon share Customer Proprietary Network Information, i.e., “information created by virtue of your relationship with Verizon Wireless,” including “services purchased (including specific calls you make and receive,” billing info, technical info and location info. They promise to only share this with “affiliates, agents and parent companies.” It will definitely not be shared with “unrelated third parties” … unless, perhaps that third party pays Verizon to become an affiliate, whatever the heck “affiliate ” means...

For those who, "by virtue of your relationship with Verizon Wireless," deep, profound, eternal, and meaningful, I'm sure, are affected, you want to check out David's post. Wireless and priceless.
