So that's where it came from. Some of my people in project pm are working on openmesh along with anon. I'm not tech by any means so I've had to recruit lots of IT and encryption fanatics. But I don't even use encryption myself as I have an eccentric policy on personal transparency.

Maybe. I'm not able to have a car, see, as I have warrants and also  
can't afford to maintain one as I work mostly pro-bono these days,  
although I'm doing a film now so should be rich soon. Also have a  
bunch of lawyers but they're busy with stuff. My GF has a car though  
and works as art consultant so can probably come down whenever, soon.

Actually just got my application for SXSW credentials turned down  
two days ago because Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone is in  
Peshewar or some shit and I guess my letter of assignment from Sam  
Apple at Faster Times didn't cut it. How many federal agencies do I  
need after me before I get to report on Interactive? Do we need to  
knock over the House of Saud? Shadowrun the Pentagon? Institutions  
are nonsense.

I lived in Austin for seven years. Am currently hiding in Dallas,  
not very well. Will be in Austin soon, maybe even this weekend, and  
would love to meet. Lived in East Africa and Mexico through portions  
of my formative years, and in unusual circumstances. Yes, that will  
make one cyberpunk. I use Briticisms out of contempt for all of  
man's works.

I've got a lot I need to tell someone and don't have anyone to which  
I can tell it all so you've just volunteered.

*Hmmm.  So, how come you use Briticisms like "horrid," "keen on,"  
and "one may retort"? And for that matter, why do you write for the  
Grauniad?  Not that I have any
problem with Anglophile Texans, being one myself.  You spent some  
formative years overseas,  maybe?  I sure did.

PS.  I have to give a big speech at the end of SXSW Interactive in a  
few weeks,
and I wonder if you have any revolutionary manifestos I could quote at
length from the podium.  Something to make the hippie web designers  
sit up straight in their stackable chairs.  Like maybe five minutes'  
worth.

Just saw your post on my al-Jaz op-ed. I'm actually 29 and from  
Texas. It's an open secret that I wrote this, see Guardian op-eds.  
Seriously, though, do you just think the linguistic structure is  
weird or what?
