Wired Magazine, Silk Road, Global Warming June 2015

Chapter 1.

I subscribe to Wired Magazine because I like getting mail  and I like to hold a magazine while I do things and go places. And... they sent me a really cool camera bag for subscribing. For me it's a nice break from a screen which gets to me after a while. I like to flip through my mag, I like to fold the pages and continue to read where I left off. I like the idea that I have something to absorb the coffee that I spilt on the table and I like carrying it in my purse and loaning it to friends.

Isn't it ironic that I enjoy a technologically savvy mag? But I like the articles.

  Once I get past the fact that  inside this square box of pages is a techie world where everything computer is a good thing for our culture I can sit down and read it.  Unfortunately for me, this is a man's world  full of men that really don't have many other interests. If they read books they are science fiction, if they go outside  in the world of nature it's to conquer it with super duper gadgets. If they do couples stuff  I haven't found it yet and so I have rightly concluded that this magazine is so totally NOT GIRLIE it's rather alienating.

( I still can't figure out why Wired Magazine does not hire Lady Literature to pop it up a big and expand the readers world view, ( Goggle lady literature and Oliver Twist on Utube) Shall we expand out horizons and increase Wired' magazine subscription base to include the fairer sex  more gadgets and other interests?

NOTE to WIRED magazine. You have heard of funny,  Right? 

Does technology wipe out creativity? YES YES YES

 Can a 3D tree really do it for me? NO NO NO.

CHAPTER 2.

How I learned about Cyber Crime, Global Warming.

Despite this bias I loved the May and June edition of 2015 because of a great story called Silk Road. It's about a really cute guy named Ross Ulbrich a.k.a. Dread Pirate Robets who managed to build a drug empire selling everything from prescription drugs to heroin on the internet and also arranging home delivery!

This story has everything, from Bad guys, to  good guys, cloak and dagger mysteries, twists and turns, betrayal, murder and justice. Everything of course , EXCEPT girls. There is just one female character and NO, she does not wear a cat woman leotard.

(This is  going to made a great move. I'm thinking Zac Ephron, as the really cute dude drug king pin)

Anyway, in this fab narrative the FBI and the CIA and DEA try to get this Ross guy.

However,  it becomes glaringly clear that the  US government is  shockingly behind the eight ball when it comes to cyber crimes.

Just last week millions of government files were  compromised due to a cyber crime strike. WAKE UP AMERCA!!!!!

We are a switch away from disaster.

When it comes to cyber crime we are going to get our ass wiped.

 From this article I learned a couple of reasons about why it's so hard to catch these criminals. Why videos of small girls getting raped are readily accessible and why human trafficking can proliferate seamlessly. 

Ok, are you ready for this?

Don't be scared and don't get a blank look on your face, I will rip off the band aid fast. 

All computers have a server which is another computer that is physically hidden somewhere else. That hidden computer is what we have to find when were are looking for the bad guys. And where are these computers stored? Did you know that under the ground, way under the ground NORWAY protects server graveyards? For Real!

 Norway is the Swizerland of the server with tight privacy laws that prevent the good guys from getting to them.  Servers are the bad guys cloaking device.

And get this. Norway was selected because of the weather. It's cold there and the millions of cable and wires that need to be kept cool are dug deep in  the earth.

 When I read this it occurred to me that it can't be good for global warming to dig deep into the earth to cool millions of miles of cable. Isn't that like microwaving the earth?

Is it really a stretch to think that it's us who are heating up the earth from the bottom up. Don't you think that will contribute to the melting of icebergs? Clearly I need some people in the know to verify speculations like this,  so my readers you can be my detectives.

I  need people to help me take it to the next level.


THANKS really good writer Joshua Bearman (with additional  reporting by Joshua David and Steven Leckart).  I know that you couldn't do much with the one flat female character that you had to work with but do these guys ever have sex, with anything?)
