I always thought manjoo was a light weight. Sweet, sincere kid, but no real depth when it came to machinist type material.
Then Denise becomes the new girl on the beat and writes: "I've never encrypted a file ..." Oh wow, I thought. Here we go again. Except maybe Joan tapped a broadsheet blogger for this post. swell (By the way, check out truecrypt and Bruce Schneir).
Well, with this post, ya got me. I'm buried in tech all damn day every day. Seeing how that tech gets embraced outside, or even at the fringe, is inspiring.
Thanks Denise (you've earned capitalization of your name today). Maybe I'll build something today instead of waging corporate war.
I know, I know. The encryption thing is a character defect. I admit it. It's not that I couldn't do it, believe me. I just don't. I wish that more email packages made it as easy as Thunderbird. I'd totally do it then. I just can't be bothered, which I think is true of most people.
I guess I really do have to check out Truecrypt. The letters section after that post looked like a bunch of hired shills, so many people mentioned it. (And of course I know Bruce Schneier.)
As for today's post -- I am really, really happy you felt inspired by it. Allee Willis is truly an inspirational person when it comes to interactive media. She gets it more than anyone I've ever known, and I've pretty much known 'em all.
