Just in the door from an SF speakeasy organized by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the digital rights non-profit who helped the Students Against Surveillance campaign this semester. Props to Yan and Parker in particular, who spoke eloquently and compellingly on the encryption staff panel. It was also gratifying for me to see April's amazing work recognized -- she was my contact at the EF

Tommy’s Quotes

“I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief... I'm not in the business of offending people. I find the books upholding certain values that I think are important, such as life is immensely valuable and this world is an extraordinarily beautiful place. We should do what we can to increase the amount of wisdom in the world.

[Washington Post interview, 19 February 2001]”
