The inherent dangers of the internet and blogosphere are known to all. While I tip my hat towards those bloggers who have stripped away their own anonymity and blog out in the open like Treppenwitz, Hirhurim, and Serandez; I still try keep my identity to myself (for the most part).
However, the 2 scariest issues for bloggers are as follows:
1. Someone revealing their anonymity
2. Stalkers
I carry a semi-automatic hand-gun with me at all times, and have my automatic M16 assault rifle (complete with close range, urban-warfare, rapid target acquisition sight) at my disposal, so I'm not overly worried about stalkers. However, this past Friday afternoon, a stalker got the better of me.
Driving around on Friday afternoon I noticed a note tucked into a bag in my car. "That's odd," I thought to myself, "what's the blue piece of paper doing here?"
Looking at it, my heart sank...
It was mysteriously signed in a circle, "loag." For those of you who aren't familiar with the "Loag", Wookipedia has the scoop:
Fine. If that's the price to pay for having a blog, I can deal with it.
My kids are on the lookout for cloaked figures who may snoop around the neighborhood, my wife is well-trained with her own firearm, our home has security cameras outside, and our community security operations center (as well as the IDF) is in 24x7 contact with me.
The "Loag" think they may be tough, but they've come after the wrong blogger.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the "Loag", Wookipedia has the scoop:The Loag, a group of assassins, oppressed the planet Merisee during the Old Republic. They were apparently wiped out by six Jedi after an effort of a full year. Three of the Jedi were killed in the violent denouncement of the cult. At the end of the campaign, the Jedi took the Loag dagger, which the assassins had sworn their blood oaths on, and it was placed in the care of the Galactic Museum on Coruscant.So not only do I have a waffle stalker after me, but it's an entire group of waffle-starved assassins!
