At the weekend, the US announced that from October of this year, even visitors from visa waiver countries (such as the UK) will be fingerprinted at the point of entering the country. Cool! I've always wanted to be treated like a criminal!

Legends of the Sun Pig is Martin Sutherland's little corner of the web. Scotsman in the Netherlands. Parent, husband, infovore, gamer, geek. I also make great stew.
I'm on Twitter, Pinboard, Flickr, Last.fm, and Goodreads, but not Facebook (on principle) and hardly ever on Google+.
Professionally, I'm a web and mobile web product developer and consultant. You can hire me through my company Aleona.
