Eh, I suppose I could do that; I did have a Facebook account for a couple years, but I deactivated it a couple months ago, mainly over privacy concerns[0]. I could create a new account specifically for this, but I'd be worried that I'd accidentally leave myself logged in and be tracked around the net. (Do I sound a bit paranoid yet? Sorry about that.)
Unfortunately, NYC and Philly are nowhere near me, and SF is still an impractical distance away. LA might be doable!

It's very mind-boggling how much we are tracked by online entities (the book mostly covers companies, not the government), and after reading that book, I took some steps to protect myself from them. (My paranoia is justified! I think...)

Meetup-wise, it won't be long before something is organized in LA, a lot of the members are actually based in LA (including the current admin).
