And every once in a while I'm accosted with ads that show how my online existence has been tracked, the "Targeted Ads". Cookies, crumbs, are swept from my browser's history, used to assemble a profile of who I am, what I'm after...ads for gems, (am I to be married? They're misunderstanding my research...), self-publishing (where do they get this?), ads to correct wrinkles and grey hair (hmm. Apparently my tastes are age specific), ads to sell me on Senior women or Russian Mail Order brides, (Ooops), but the best one, he crops up on YouTube, I think it's a targeted ad, but I'm not sure.

Some asshole, in his garage, showing me his new Masarati...no, he's not really about the money, he's got lots, he's really about the books and he's just bought 2000 books for his personal library, he can afford this because...

I've never made it further than this. Time, perhaps, to clear my cookies and start again...
