Escaped Delaware in 1990, cosplayed a scientist at Santa Fe Institute, Human Interface Technology Lab @ UW, got tired of being broke, practiced software engineering, radicalized by independent music and the bravery and resilience of my LGBTQA+ friends.

In United States v. Jones (2012) SCOTUS held that installing a GPS tracker to a car constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment and thus requires a warrant.
