Ancient History, part 1.
Tonight I cleaned the hall closet and found some old scratch notebooks. Mostly, they're all old shopping lists and bad poetry, but there are some good parts. I'll be posting the more amusing bits as I go through them.
Today: The Bathing Suit Example (c. 2003)
Public Policy: "Don't look at me while I'm putting on my bathing suit, or you're in trouble."
Computer Security: Build a giant impenetrable sand castle to change in so nobody sees you naked.
Cryptography: Put the bathing suit on under your clothes, then remove your clothes.
Theoretical crypto: Wear all your clothes at once, and remove layers as appropriate.
Trusted computing: Wear special pants that can only be removed if everybody present is wearing sunglasses that go dark if anybody with the special pants removes them. As a side effect, you can never see yourself naked.
Steganography: Wear camouflage body paints under your clothes.
Watermarking: Put a different temporary tattoo on your ass every morning, so you can tell who's talking about your butt.
Cryptography II: Grow lots of body hair.
P2P: Have a million friends to strip at the same time, so nobody will notice you.
