Contact Info
You can contact me via my callsign at arrl.net.
Please note: My ISP's server has the gmail.com domain blacklisted. This means all email from gmail.com will disappear into a black hole. [Google has not blocked me, I've blocked Google mail and the following text explains why]
If you want to contact me, please use an email service whose business profits are not based upon user profiling, invasion of user privacy, disregard for copyright laws and what seems to be inexhaustible thirst for pushing the envelope of ethical business practices.
Google has built an infrastructure of Internet and non-Internet services that by design track, surveil, and profile users in a variety of ways, including the Google Android based cellphones. There is a gulf of difference in what a person intentionally and voluntarily reveals about themself, and that which is clandestinely stolen from them. It is particularly egregious when you consider what Google is doing with this information and power. With so little Internet regulation, they are actively using this power for corporate profit, politics, as well as cultural and personal warfare.
Wikipedia's discussion of Google censorship
Google depends on the general public's lack of understanding about how the Internet works, on general consumer appeal to vanity and "status"... and on web site creators who are willing to give their user's privacy and freedom away for the pittance of a ready to use Google API or Google hosted server. Any business that can for over three years connect to WiFi points across the world, while capturing pictures for Street View, then packet sniff the network data on these WiFi access points and upload this data to Google servers, and then claim it was all just a mistake must be relying on public ignorance!

Why is Google Evil?
All those Google "freebies" from "free" email to "free" analytics come at a cost though Google never tells you, nor could they tell you if they want to stay in business, what that cost is. If you want to give your privacy away for tyranny, good luck.
"Tyranny, whether it arises under threat of foreign physical attack or under constant domestic authoritative scrutiny, is still tyranny. Liberty requires security without intrusion, security plus privacy. Widespread police surveillance is the very definition of a police state. And that's why we should champion privacy even when we have nothing to hide." — Bruce Schneier
