New Year's Resolution 1: issue #burnnotice to self

If you wonder what a burn notice is, look up the US TV series of the same name. It is fictional, and the gratuitous but intriguing [from a purely cinematographic point of view] booby and butt shots in every episode prove it. Well, some of the gadget information in there is correct.

The important role of deferred gratification, the ability to wait until you pounce on that piece of candy, has been confirmed in recent studies. NPRs Nova and Nova ScienceNow would be good starting points if you are interested.

The question for the krautlandnews folks over the short existence of the blog has been: when can we do the first spooky spy post?

In the new year.

How can we do it? It should stick to the thin line between truth and fiction in such a manner that no one is any the wiser at the end of the post.

Even better, it should meander, crossing from one realm into the other repeatedly and leave you, dear reader,  tantalized.

It'll be hard. We may fail but, New Year's resolution oblige, we will try.
