Time Badly Spent

My Christmas holiday is drawing to a close, and I think I have to say I've accomplished very little on my goal list. I've not been so lazy because I've been enjoying a calm, quiet holiday at home -- which I have, but that's not the point.  The point is, I've been sick from about the day before I went on holiday, until now.  I can't shake this cold.

The graph, above, is taken from Google Latitude, a cool little tool to help locate your friends now and then.  It's inaccurate, it's flaky, and it only tracks approximately where the phone happens to be, but it's still pretty shiny.

I can hear the gasp:  How did I, a total whackjob paranoid security nut, actually give this thing the stamp of approval?  Easy:  Once I set my phone down, all concerns about intrusion into my life and movements ends.  If you can't be without your phone for an hour, then maybe you should consider talking to someone about it.  And that's from me, who always has a phone.  Or three.
