I’ve been spending most of my waking hours at The Next HOPE the last two days. Big notes to self (and anyone who reads this) so far:

• Support Tor. I’ve got an always-on bastion machine on my little apartment network. Maybe I should run a Tor node?
• Check out Monkeysphere. Use an OpenPGP web of trust to authenticate SSH and SSL keys! There’s no Chromium plugin as yet. Consider helping with that?
• Firefox plugins: HTTPS Everywhere, Perspectives, Certificate Patrol.
• Club-Mate is very nice.
• USB tethering works extremely well with the Nexus One and a Linux laptop (assuming you’ve got good cell coverage), and tethering over GSM can be a nice alternative to a wifi network you don’t really trust.
