Where did all of the "who ate my privacy?" posts go?

For those of you who enjoyed reading my occasional article about Facebook, Google, and invasions of privacy, don't worry, I haven't stopped writing them. What I have done is started a new blog, called, rather modestly, "I Own All Information." The name of it is intended to correct any misconceptions that Facebook's Zuckerberg and the Google crowd might have. I think they have been misinformed about the legal status of information gathered using Facebook and Google searches, as they don't own that information, I do, of course.

Me and Al Franken, we have a lot in common.

You can find the new blog here. Actually, I'm not moving any of the posts that have appeared in Vorpal Trade. There are a bunch of the "I Own All Information" stripe that have appeared here, and since they are part of the Vorpal Trade history, they will stay here. New articles that are mainly about outrages over misappropriation of information, spying, surveillance, and all that juicy, gossipy stuff will show up in I Own All Information, while all of the articles on economics, investing, business, finance, psychology, and the peculiar blind spots that people live with will continue to appear here.

For those who are curious about what the heck a "privacy outrage" is, here is a short list of the articles appearing in Vorpal Trade that were more about information and privacy than economics or business:
