Alkahest my heroes have always died at the end

In case you are looking for something interesting to do next week, go to Love Auditorium at Duke University on November 15th at 5pm. Admiral John Poindexter will be giving a talk: “A Vision for Countering Terrorism Through Information and Privacy Protection Technologies for the 21st Century.”  It should be an interesting and thought provoking discussion of where Poindexter draws the line between security and privacy.

I’ll be meeting with Poindexter and a small group at 3pm – quite the birthday present.

Finally, since I assume that TIA exists, I’m guessing that Poindexter is reading this as I’m posting it, so, “Hi!  Looking forward to meeting you on Wednesday.”
