Apologies for not having blogged for a while on Madoff and the “kleptocrat” angle of the financial story.

The reason is the web harassment I’ve talked about before. I’m not intimidated by it, but I think it’s a good idea for me to get my cyberhouse in order before I embark on more research on that. It looks like parts of that story might intersect with another story that’s been troubling me, which I can’t get into here.

When highly credentialed journalists start telling you to buy a revolver, you begin to wonder if you shouldn’t stop being bo-peep and try mata hari for real.

I also have some restructuring of my life going on that takes up most of my time and energy – so my posts have become a bit erratic.

My dream of becoming a professional wanderer, a vagabond of the net, is within a year (or so) of realization. Once I complete the structures I need to set up, this blog will become professional.

It will turn into a magazine and an online community, which is my dream.
