Just released the English translation of "Our Bodies as Data", a paper I wrote on biometrics, identity, and what it means to digitize the self. It’s an old piece, but it still holds the core of what I’m working on now. www.academia.edu/128780002/Ou...

I've got to say, the guy who accidentally became the Director of the FBI does 100% look like the guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI in a mid-2000s comedy about a guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI
