The circles I run in are pretty obsessed with internet security. Whenever I've left my phone unattended, I often come back to find that I've been non-consensually "pantsed." Someone has logged onto twitter or dodgeball and told my community a fictional status update on my pants. It goes from slightly embarrassing to significantly embarassing, but the idea is clear: don't leave your device unlocked and unnattended because it could be stolen, abused, and pwned. I pretty much can't help it if someone leaves their phone on the table, I'll look and see if they update twitter via sms and send off a pants status. It's a relatively harmless way of reminding friends of the vulnerability of their electronics devices.

Dave Clausen and I set up pantsstatus.com to track the worldwide/galactic status of pants everywhere. It's worth checking in on for a chuckle every once in a while. Chuck Olsen may be the best pants statuser ever. I should also mention that this post got pants statused by 3ricj in the process of being written as I walked away from my computer for a moment.
