The Illuminati Files
Kevin pointed me to some scary shit.
Zaba! (www.zabasearch.com) is a tool for obtaining personal information on anybody in America, including you, your family, your potential paramours, and your favorite celebrities. While often out of date, the entries are just as often spot-on. You can see names, birthdates, addresses, and phone numbers for free. For the juicy stuff, you gotta pay.
God help you if your name is unique.
Go ahead. Look yourself up.
Now try some celebrities - but be creative. Use their real names. Try "Madonna Ciccone." Look! It's her Miami address! Barbra Streisand, addresses like buttah, darling. Courtney Love, born 1964. First on the list. There's only one entry for "Beck Hansen." And Beck lives in Glendale.
It's great for celebrities that weren't celebrities last week. Like, oh, American Idols. I've looked many of 'em up, and I know where each of them live, and their phone numbers (if they still work). Look up "Harold E. Bice" in Alabama (born November, 1975). Or "Anwar F. Robinson" in New Jersey. You can see all the places Scott T. Savol (born April, 1976) has lived, at least under his own name. Now, you don't even need to be Corey Clark to get directions to Paula Abdul's house.
But why stop there? Look up your CEO, your boss, Kenneth Lay, Scott McNealy, William H. Gates, William H. Macy, Macy Grey, Gray Davis, David Letterman, Reese Witherspoon, Wilmer Valderrama, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Elliott Spitzer, Scott Peterson of Modesto, Robin Williams of San Francisco, the late Chandra Levy, Oprah Winfrey, Lenny Kravitz, Ellen Degeneres, and Miss Britney Spears of good ol' Baton Rouge. Christopher Ashton Kutcher of Homestead, Iowa is dating Demetria Moore of Vista, CA. Uma K. Thurman lives on 57th St in Manhattan. Wanna ring up Quentin Tarantino? There's four numbers to choose from.
Once you have an address, you can look at Google Maps (maps.google.com) to see their house from space.
Have fun.
Oh, yeah, and be very afraid.

And there appears to be no way to correct errors, either. There's two listings for me (not surprising, given they're both addresses I've had in the last decade), but the more recent of the two also says I was born in 1942! I think not...tack on about 30 years there.
'Tis flawed, that site.
