NSA Wiretap?

The magic string you're looking for is sffca.ip.att.net. If it's present immediately above or below a non-att.net entry, then -- by Klein's allegations -- your packets are being copied into room 641A, and from there, illegally, to the NSA.

AIM IM with Highest Seraph.
8:00 PM
Sean Follmer: hey ben
Highest Seraph: sean
Sean Follmer: you replaced kevin
Highest Seraph: i want to start a dencity like thing here
Highest Seraph: or a yellowarrow thing
Sean Follmer: hu?
Highest Seraph: http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/003438.html#more
Sean Follmer: yah that is really cool
Highest Seraph: yeah it is
Sean Follmer: tag the world
Highest Seraph: exactly
Sean Follmer: metadata for the real world
Sean Follmer: thats the future of location based technology
Highest Seraph: i want to start something like that
Highest Seraph: it would be fun
Sean Follmer: except it will all be done wirelessly using gps and your cell phone
Highest Seraph: yeah
Sean Follmer: yep its going to be a cool place
Highest Seraph: go to dencity.net
8:05 PM
Highest Seraph: i already emailed dencity
Sean Follmer: about what
Highest Seraph: to ask if their software is opensource
Sean Follmer: oh cool
Sean Follmer: check out mobile bristol
Highest Seraph: google it?
Sean Follmer: http://www.mobilebristol.com/flash.html
Highest Seraph: ah, i arelady found it by googling it
Sean Follmer: yah
Sean Follmer: its free software
Sean Follmer: not open source though
Sean Follmer: i think
Highest Seraph: ah
Highest Seraph: i c
Sean Follmer: it runs on pocket pcs
Sean Follmer: they have a lot of cool examples
Highest Seraph: how cool
Sean Follmer: well there was one that was a history based thing where you walk to
different places in a park and you hear different parts of this one story, but where you had
been before afeccted what you would hear
Highest Seraph: hmm
Highest Seraph: well, all i want to do is virtual tagging
Highest Seraph: and virtual media
Highest Seraph: if possible
Sean Follmer: yah i know but they had to tag things
Highest Seraph: oh
8:10 PM
Sean Follmer: and then based on the tags it would play the audio, but you could program it
to display text or video or wahtever
Sean Follmer: but it was wireless tracking not physical tags
Sean Follmer: checck out qr codes
Highest Seraph: yeah, that's what i wanted to do at uci
Sean Follmer: they are advanced japanese barcodes
Highest Seraph: cuz they have a campus wide wireless network
Highest Seraph: so what i was thking
Highest Seraph: is to take advantage of that
Highest Seraph: 25,000 students
Sean Follmer: yah
Highest Seraph: the majority have laptops
Sean Follmer: cool
Highest Seraph: wireless technology
Highest Seraph: and wala!
Highest Seraph: tagging
Highest Seraph: galore
8:15 PM
Sean Follmer: for augmented reality using patern codes ar toolkit http://
www.hitl.washington.edu/projects/shared_space/download/
Sean Follmer: and this uses director to make it simple but director is spensive. DART Designers
Augmented Reality Toolkit http://www.cc.gatech.edu/dart/
Highest Seraph: hmm
Sean Follmer: these are slightly different
Sean Follmer: but i thought you might like them
Highest Seraph: ah, yes
Sean Follmer: they use little bar codes to figure out where the camera is pointing but they
can also hod info
Highest Seraph: the dart thing seems to... fancy
Highest Seraph: i was thking triangulation
Highest Seraph: to figure out where you are
Sean Follmer: yah but then you need expensive sensors
Highest Seraph: oh
Sean Follmer: i thought you wanted to tag things with bar codes
Highest Seraph: i wanted to tag without tags
Sean Follmer: ah
Highest Seraph: because then i would have to put stickers and stuff
Highest Seraph: and i don't want to make a mess of my school
Sean Follmer: oh i thought you liked the physical and metaphysical interaction
Highest Seraph: i liked that, but i want it more... i dunno
8:20 PM
Sean Follmer: yah well in that case, then there a lot of different ways to get wireless
location data but most of them arnt so acurate and are expensive when you want more
acuracy
Highest Seraph: how bout this
Highest Seraph: hmmm
Sean Follmer: but a gps reciever could be had for 100-200 dolars
Highest Seraph: whoa!
Highest Seraph: that's expensive
Sean Follmer: however wont be too acurate
Highest Seraph: how bout this
Highest Seraph: having an online map
Highest Seraph: of my school
Highest Seraph: and then
Sean Follmer: yah
Highest Seraph: you can click where u are
Sean Follmer: yah but thats lame
Sean Follmer: at least bar code things then
Highest Seraph: hmmm
Sean Follmer: that could be cool
Sean Follmer: or maybe you could triangulate bassed on wifi signals but you would have to
write or find a lot of code
Highest Seraph: oh, did you check out the yellowarrow project
Highest Seraph: hmm
Highest Seraph: i have to look into this triangulating with wifi
Sean Follmer: i heard about that before its pretty cool
Highest Seraph: im going to wait for the email to come back from dencity
Sean Follmer: thats why i thought you wanted to physically tag things
Highest Seraph: and see what they say
Highest Seraph: i wanted to go a step further
Sean Follmer: i see
Highest Seraph: no physical tags
Highest Seraph: just being in a location
8:25 PM
Sean Follmer: yah thats why i showed you all that other crap like mobile bristol. but i have
more info i think on other ar projects, and yours is pretty run of the mill, so im sure you
could find lots of open source stuff on it
Highest Seraph: good
Highest Seraph: that requires less work for me
Sean Follmer: haha
Highest Seraph: hehe
Highest Seraph: i mean, i don't remember anything about programming
Sean Follmer: oh do you go to irvine
Sean Follmer: yah you do
Highest Seraph: yeah
Highest Seraph: huh?
Highest Seraph: i couldn't tell if you were trying to insult me
Sean Follmer: no
Sean Follmer: at uci they have a realy cool ar project
Highest Seraph: really
Sean Follmer: called the virtual raft project
Highest Seraph: interesting
Sean Follmer: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~wmt/virtualRaftProject.html
Sean Follmer: watch the video
Sean Follmer: its indor
Highest Seraph: crap, some one beat me to it
Sean Follmer: indoor not outside
Highest Seraph: oh
Highest Seraph: hmm
Sean Follmer: and really has nothing to do with what you were talking about, however
other people have beat you at other schools
Highest Seraph: dang
Sean Follmer: check out the video
Highest Seraph: yeah, im watching it right...
Highest Seraph: now
Sean Follmer: its cool i saw the guy bill tomlinson talk at siggraph and saw the setup
Sean Follmer: it was really quite cool
8:30 PM
Highest Seraph: whoa
Highest Seraph: that's an awesome cideo
Highest Seraph: video
Sean Follmer: yah
Highest Seraph: why am i not doing programming
Sean Follmer: its even cooler in person
Highest Seraph: lol
Highest Seraph: i can imagine
Sean Follmer: yah its stuff like that that makes me want to go into cs
Highest Seraph: but then i can't stare at a comp screen for that long
Highest Seraph: i've tried it
Sean Follmer: haha
Sean Follmer: lcds are nicer on the eyes
Highest Seraph: lol
Sean Follmer: check out this guy when you get to uci http://www.ics.uci.edu/~wmt/
Highest Seraph: and i was able to skip my programming class i needed to take
Highest Seraph: cuz of apcs
Sean Follmer: he created the program
8:35 PM
Sean Follmer: informatics looks like a cool major
Sean Follmer: The newly approved major in Informatics covers the design, implementation, use
and impact of information technology. Compared to traditional computer science, which primarily
focuses on the internal features of computer systems, Informatics is also concerned with computer
systems and their surrounding context—the people and organizations that use them and the
problems they need to solve. Informatics aims to:
» apply information technology to real world problems;
» design and develop new uses for information technology;
» understand the impact information technology has on people;
The Informatics major addresses the broad set of issues surrounding design, including initial
requirements gathering, estimating and measuring the impact of alternative solutions and
implementing those solutions—all from a multi-disciplinary perspective that includes computer
science, information science, organizational science, social science and cognitive science.
The other person, or their software, refused the request.

Sean Follmer: you will love diferential equations
Sean Follmer: because thats where math can model the real world
Highest Seraph: we;ve already done diffiQ's to an extent
Sean Follmer: haha
Sean Follmer: not really
Highest Seraph: in pacitti's class

8:45 PM
Sean Follmer: haha
Highest Seraph: hehe
Sean Follmer: http://www.calit2.net/
Sean Follmer: its at uci
Sean Follmer: really cool
Sean Follmer: Extend the reach of the Internet throughout the physical world. Cal-(IT)2 teams UCSD and UCI
faculty, students, and research professionals with leading California telecommunications, computer, software, and
applications companies to conduct research on the scientific and technological components needed to bring this new
Internet into being. Institute applications researchers are conducting their studies in “living laboratories” to investigate
how this future Internet will accelerate advances in environmental science, civil infrastructure, intelligent
transportation and telematics, genomic medicine, the new media arts, and educational practices.
Highest Seraph: interesting
Sean Follmer: see if you could intern there sometime
Highest Seraph: but im a mech, eng, major
Highest Seraph: and math
Sean Follmer: oh yah

TV consoling the hearts and minds of the revolutionaries
As The world continues to spin, despite all my efforts to stop it--for me its like being on a giant twirl-a-whirl after having some niches-- I continue to watch TV. I wonder what exactly it is about the TV that does it for me. Sitting in the warm glow of the boob-tube gives me a comforted feeling, like nothing bad can happen to me. All my works seem to go a way, and I am susceptible, especially at late nights to cheap advertising.
I realize that I really need those knifes, because who knows when I might have to cut my foot free of my shoe, or cut through a wall. I notice that the air in my house is filled will pollutants and I do need an air filter before I suffocate. I am remembered that last thanksgiving the turkey did take 5 hours and only 2 hours to cook 4 of them would be nice for when I have all of the French Army staying with me.
I Tend to think of my self as a fairly intelligent creature, somewhat on the level of mice and dolphins, yet I just can't stop watching TV and these infomercial. But why? Well, lets think about it now, I can't stop and I like the way it makes me feel. Guess what I am the same way with cocaine, I just can't stop. I am addicted to TV, but how did they do it.
I believe that there are subliminal messages being sent through the Television, that make me feel at peace. Clearly this diabolical scheme must have been set in motion by those nefarious TV stations, with all their greed. And yet I believe it is another entity that is brainwashing our children, our fathers, our brothers and our sisters.
It is rather the Government that has made me a couch potato. If I feel good watching TV I will never question the Governement. Heck If I had the choice of watching TV, or searching for the Truth about the war in Iraq, its TV all the way. This is the Governments way of subduing the public, the Romans had their breads and circuses, and our society has TV.
Without TV there would be riots in the streets, but instead we have to see what happens on the next friends episode. There will never be a revolution again in any country that has a decent TV set up in every single house.
But is that so bad. I like watching TV and isn't it worth giving up my civil liberties as long as the warm glow caresses my face for at least 2 hours a day. 2 hours of comfort will make me forget just about...

Beware of Fried chicken
Fried Chicken can be a dangerous choice, for those with a weak constitution. Who knew that one dinner item could cause so much internal problems. Truthful did we have to look all over the world, under rocks, in tunnels, behind places, for weapons of mass destruction when they are sitting right under our nose, or on our plates.
I am of course referring to KFC, or what is now (according to my Iraqi dissident sources) Kitchen Fresh Chicken. This mad corporation and its "secret recipe," single-handedly has the power to bring the country to its knees, or rather to their toilets. Think about it is there any other meal that guarantees stomach problems with such accuracy and precision, that it possibly equal the threat of KFC. Not only that, but any other sane corporation would realize that if their food made every single customer sick they would not have good return customers.
Which brings me to my next point: how is KFC getting people to return to their "fine" establishments. The only logical conclusion is one of two: KFC either has an incredible marketing department, rivaling the hypnotic powers of Disney, or they are drugging their customers. The first is obviously not the answer--have you ever seen a KFC commercial, what's with the old guy? Or George Kastanza, if I'm going to buy chicken its not going to be from the bald, nervous sidekick of Jerry Sinfield?
One must then assume that KFC is drugging their customers to get them to return. One must ask themselves, "Why is the recipe secret, what do they have to hide. It's just chicken, what could possibly make it so special?" The resounding answer is that they must have something to hide, in fact their recipe surly contains chemical and biological agents that seep into your mind; soon enough you will be carving more and more chicken, and eventually you become the mental equivalent of a chicken. It is a recipe for world domination.
But how could they possibly take over the world, Jack. Think about it, if every single family were to get their hands on KFC chicken at the same time, they would have all have to use the bathroom, at the same time. This causes many detrimental effects; families would fight amongst themselves for the use of the bathroom, resulting in millions of domestic injuries; the stress on the sewer system caused by 100 million simultaneous flushes, would clearly back up the world's plumbing system, causing chaos around the world--not to mention a terrible stench. But most importantly it gives them a window of opportunity, where every child, every citizen, every government worker, and every soldier is uncomfortably detained for a period of at least ten minutes (this stuff is quite potent).
During this time the colon. And his crack troops of cooks, with strategically placed bases in almost every tricounty area, are free to take over the US, and then the world.

Hellow World!
Yes I know I misspeled Hellow, and I promise that I won't ever do it again. As you--who ever you are--may or may not know, I can't spell very well. Truthfully is there any reason that I should be forced to learn how to spell, or any reason that others should atack my spelling abilities, or the lack there of.

I say no. We non-spellers have stood back and accepted our misfortune; we have tried to spell better; we have watched our low vocabulary test scores with no anger; we have done nothing as others have taunted us; we have stood idol as teachers repremanded us for our "ineptitude." We shall take it no longer; we have waited long enough and will not brake our backs on the dictionaries of society no longer. The non-spellers of the world will unite; it is our time to triumph.

Kindergardeners who like kats, will stand; Grade school children who think there two smart to spell, will raise; middle school kids who don't want to follow modles, will get on their chairs; High school students who read litriture and take Spainish, will run to the roofs of buildings; executives who can't write busness proposels will fly to the skies. We have the power, we have the numbers. Spellers everywhere will run in terror, as we burn thusauruses, spell checkers, and dictionaries. Spellers will be driven to spider caves, just like Sadam, cause after all we have the Precident on our side.

Non-spellers of the world unite. We shall prevale.
