+I've been hanging around various places internet communities for years, others I've come to more recently. For years I've followed the ERE community, recently I started following the indie web camp community. I'm also in the middle of a deep dive into something i neglected in five years of professional cooking -- fermentation.

+All of these things are related.

+# another post is going to be about https and privacy and how privacy is a conceit of the rich, but one that we should aspire to grant to everyone. the more money you have the more privacy you can get but the more disconnected from your neighbors you become. privacy is not without tradeoff, of course those of us in the industrialized world were born without a chance to even know that tradeoffs had been made. we already had houses that afforded us privacy, or some measure of it, yards screen off, cars humming the highway alone. Maybe you grew up in new york, no car, no yard. That's precisely what I mean, you expectations of privacy are different. you might have more community, joining your building neighbors on the roof to enjoy the sun, or grill up something tasty for instance.

+What's different about this notion of privacy and the notional idea of privacy on the internet is that in the first case you are getting some privacy from your fellow humans, in the case the net you are getting some privacy from government perhaps, but more obviously and more worryingly, privacy from corporations. That is a very different sort of privacy in my view than our traditional notion of privacy. I might not care if my nest door neighbor knows what I had for dinner because we both happened to be out in our years grilling at the same time, but it does not follow that I want Google, Kroger, Proctor & Gamble or any other corporation to have that same info.
