An experiment in weblogging by the Yantis' of Temecula.
Things we find interesting. Items including (but not limited to) Temecula, the Yantis family, literature, technology, science, computers, the Internet, horses, and teaching. Items will be added to this weblog as we find them. With luck and time there will be new things to read about every day, so check back with us frequently.

More invasions of privacy on the way, this one via your ISPPicture a world where information about your every move on the Web, including the sites that you visit, the keywords that you enter into search engines, and so on, are all shipped off to a third party, with the willing cooperation of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). None of those pesky cookies to disable, no outside Web sites to put on block lists--just a direct flow of data from your ISP to the unseen folks with the dollar signs (or pound, yen, euro, or whatever signs) gleaming brightly in their eyes behind the scenes. You'll of course be told that your information is "anonymous" and that you can trust everyone involved, that you'll derive immense benefits from such tracking, and that you have an (at least theoretical) opt-in or opt-out choice.
