snarfed.org has been around since early 2002. It was born on my own server, which lived first in dorm rooms at school and then in an apartment in SF. It later migrated to a Linux VPS at JVDS, and finally to its current home on a shared FreeBSD server at pair.com.

On the software side, it started on SnipSnap, then moved to PyBlosxom, and now runs on WordPress. See my software page for some of its custom patches, plugins, and themes.

    Anonymous Cellphones might be possible. I got a VirginMobile phone setup and it seems as though I don’t even have to enter in my name, address or anything. Just email when I activated the phone. You can even pay cash.

    hi! sounds like you read privacy through prepaid credit cards.

    agreed, i’m a prepaid fan too. it is more expensive, but if i ever give in and get a cell phone, i’d definitely go that route.

    on a similar note, i’ve been wondering if the prepaid providers support phone number portability. even if they do, though, i doubt i could keep my current Vonage phone number. sigh…

    Hi Ryan,

    Just curious, but why, if you value privacy so highly (as you should in my opinion), do you use gmail?

    hey robert, great question! actually, i don’t use gmail, but not because of privacy concerns. i just prefer pine.

    as for privacy, the vast majority of people’s email is stored on a third party’s servers. whether it’s their ISP, gmail, hotmail, yahoo, or another provider seems like a minor distinction. (ok, hardcore geeks with your own mail servers, you’re the rare exception. put your hands down. :P)

    if you’re thinking about the ads, i’ll let gmail speak for itself. personally, i think it’s just silly. spam filters have been “reading” our mail forever. in terms of privacy, gmail’s ad targeting is no different. they’re both just computer programs. people play the (unwarranted) privacy card because they want a way to diss ads.
