About the Name

why "terrorware" dot com? the phrase "terrorware" comes from a 2001 wired news article that discusses a motion picture industry attorney likening open source dvd decoding software to "software programs that shut down navigational programs in airplanes or smoke detectors in hotels."

"terrorware" is a good reminder that there will always be efforts to make people fearful of, and divided from each other. it also reminds me that while technology can be seen as a threat by some people, it holds a certain potential to change perspectives, share new ideas with others, and challenge the way that we look at and live in our world. i'd like to think that the digital representations of some real-world things that mean a great deal to me can, in some small way, be that potential.
