The father of the internet says...
Are you on Facebook? Do you Twitter?
Nope. I don't want to know that you're picking up a cup of coffee right now, and you don't want to know that I'm holding a pen in my hand.
What are your privacy concerns?
I'm very relaxed about privacy because there is none left. John Perry Barlow, a former lyricist with the Grateful Dead, was one of the founders of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. His life is public. He says that's the only way to have privacy -- expose it all and you have nothing to hide.

Waffles
Conversation in UOW Legal office:
Lawyer 1: Mmm, pancakes with maple syrup and icecream
Lawyer 2: no, pancakes with lemon and sugar - icecream is for waffles
Lawyer 1: ooh, you shouldn't have mentioned waffles, I want them now.
Lawyer 2: they remind me of music festivals.
Lawyer 1: oooh, stop it. I want waffles now. I'm going to ask mum to make some for tonight …
[Lawyer 1 proceeds to call mother - insert Macedonian conversation in which the english words 'waffles' and 'maple syrup' feature heavily]
Lawyer 1: my mum's going to make me waffles. You know, if she knew how to drive she would probably bring them over to us …
Lawyer 3: that's so not fair. You have your own personal waffle maker.
