Secret Post!

Alright Wonkavator fans, here's the deal: I do have a post ready to go, but, I'm not going to put it in this space. The reason is that it is about someone specific, and while I don't think he (or maybe even she) reads this blog, you can never be sure on the ol' interweb. Back in 2003 (I think) when the internet was just starting to unfold into the beast it is now (it was the Friendster internet), I had a formative internet moment. There was a girl who went to college with me, and I had never talked to her, but I knew who she was, mostly by virtue of going to a school with 2800 other students. This girl was, for lack of a more accurate word, mannish. Eventually, rumors started to circulate that she in fact used to be a man. I'm a big believer in "to each their own," but we couldn't help being curious. Using nothing but her name, a logical guess on what her male name might have been, and of course google (just starting to take over), I was able to confirm this in 10 minutes. I didn't do anything fancy either. I googled one name, then the other, and that was enough. To repeat, I didn't know her personally, and within 10 minutes I was able to confirm that she had had a sex change. Maybe that's not as weird these days, but that was my first real moment of the internet revealing more information than it necessarily should. I'm all for the free spread of information, but maybe people should be able to have a sex change without it being public knowledge.

Anyway, the point is that once something is out there, you can't control what happens to it (the other point is that I think that story is amazing in a sort of sick way and I felt like telling it). Therefore, if you want to read the most recent post, you need to send me an email or let me know in the comments section or something.

And for what it's worth, I wouldn't bother with this story at all, but I feel like it ought to be told in some form. Curious, aren't you. The ball is in your court- whack it back!
