Eben, will you hold a lunch session for Net novices who want to learn more about how we can improve our online privacy?

>		I had the realization this weekend that my privacy has completely been eroded (irrevocably so?). I was looking up movie times for Hot Tub Time Machine when I was prompted to "create an account" with which to purchase tickets. I instinctively entered my first name as J and my last as C but was forced to enter my email address to verify who I was. My friend looked at me and said, "why do you even bother trying to conceal who you are?" I then had to enter my e-mail address - I could either use my gmail account which is clearly my name (cohenjessica) or Columbia - but can't anyone look that up? And find me? Maybe I'm misunderstanding this privacy business altogether but the only thing I think have going for me these days is my so-common-it-hurts name. What is it that I was trying to protect with the J.C. business?
