This story is amazing. I haven't heard of any contemporary sousveillance
tactics leaving the research or art world and hitting the mainstream.

^^^THIS IS AMAZING TOO!^^^


Is there a chance that Nathan's recent "press release" and the general
debate over the sorry state of public messaging around privacy could
come together with the sousveillance aesthetic?

This Flava-Flav camera necklace is an amazing product. I could write an
essay about that, let alone a 50 word blurb for a column in Wired.
