                                       Greetings,

           Does your mobile have a cool GPS feature? Do you shop with credit
or debit cards? Would you like to be able to pay for things with your mobile
instead? How convenient, no?

This is just one of many trends that leave behind breadcrumbs that are
superfood for analytic people like Jeff
Jonas<http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/yi-tan/Jeff_Jonas?wikiPageId=1663735>,
one of the world's premier data puzzle masters.

For a taste of where we're headed, read these two posts of his:

   - Six Ticks Till
Midnight<http://jeffjonas.typepad.com/jeff_jonas/2007/10/six-ticks-till-.html>
   - Your Movements Speak for
Themselves<http://jeffjonas.typepad.com/jeff_jonas/2009/08/your-movements-speak-for-themselves-spacetime-travel-data-is-analytic-superfood.html>

With Jeff, let's discuss:

   - What privacy invasions are already possible that we considered
   impossible?
   - Is there any scenario in which this surveillance society doesn't
   happen? Can we step out?
   - How will life be different? Is there a book or movie that captures it
   well?

Oh, and my apologies if you hoped this call would be about Catholic
sacraments and such....

As always, an IRC
Chat<http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/yi-tan/irc_chat?wikiPageId=163280>will
be available during the call,
here.

We tweet as @yitan <http://twitter.com/yitan>. Please follow us, and let's
also continue using #yitan <http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23yitan>.
