Apparently, there's a program that can be installed on a cell phone that allows it to be turned on---that is, connected to---remotely without giving any indication that it's on. This sort of thing is used frequently in cutthroat corporate situations in order to gain information. Not so much information on Super Secret Projects, but more information on a company's employees so that said employees can be enticed away from their current company into working for the spying company. This way, the spying company gains talent as well as proprietary knowledge.

Sneaky. And kinda evil.

All of this is to say, anyway, that I received a call today from a number that registered as nothing but zeros. And knowing that this kind of program exists, I'm now feeling a little paranoid that my phone---innocuous as it may appear!---is spying on me. ::eyes phone askance:: If you're listening, phone, to the tappings of my keyboard, know that I suspect! And, uh, if you're not listening...cool. This isn't any weirder than any number of other entries I've posted.

But I'm watching you....
