Came across an interesting site this weekend. It is the site for an artist, Hasan Elahi, who the Feds wrongly assumed might be a terrorist. The guy had the brilliant idea of putting his whole life online. It is crazy, but pretty cool He has a GPS device that constantly shows on his website where he currently is. He has a list of all of his purchases including where and the date. There are endless photos of places where he has gone including pictures of what he has eaten. Talk about courage. Completely exposing your life to the whole world. On the plus side, he hasn’t gone to jail since and he has good evidence about what he has been up to. Interestingly according to an interview I read his server shows hits from the Defense Department, so I guess the government is still watching him good thing he is living in the open. For the ultimate in living a life of transparency check out his website, trackingtransience.net.
