A simple method of making your wireless stuff invisible to any other wireless stuff or signal that would want to communicate with it.

I agree it will be a bit of a shock for some people, but I think it’s better to be aware of the fact that there’s a tremendous amount of publically available information about us than to remain in ignorance about it. The existence of the information is the price we pay for a lot of the modern conveniences we have.

One area of development I think will be essential in the future is digital identity, so that we can have some element of trustworthy identification on documents available on public networks. That would significantly reduce identity theft, masquerading as someone with intent to defraud them, and perhaps allow for some sort of distributed trust mechanism to reduce other kinds of fraud.

And speaking of weird initials, I knew a guy whose middle name was a single letter. It wasn’t an initial, the letter was the whole name. This caused a great deal of confusion to people. Perhaps funnier than that was the fact that he was a Jr., his father had the same first and middle names. Some parents are just weird that way. I suspect Jennifer Lee’s middle name is the same sort of deal.
