You Can Run... - Jerry Dobson is warning us about "geoslavery" and its threat to our privacy. (Fun to track the AP story back to the press release, eh?) The Oak Ridge prof seems to have quite a thing going on this topic, having given a paper about it last week at the big annual meeting of geographers in New Orleans. (Party time, guys!) He also wrote about it twice before, in 2000 and even way back in 1998, in GeoWorld, where he is a regular contributor. (Oh, you didn't catch that?)

What's it all about? Oh, just that your boss, your parents or your significant other will soon be able to keep tabs on your precise location via the coming ubiquity of personal GPS devices. Comforting, eh? Or do you have something to hide, mister?
