I've read about this guy before and what continues to puzzle me is how well versed his Internet terminology is. Things like "amazed me to see how the search engine indexed so much" just doesn't make sense, this guy was already aware of what indexing is and yet never used a computer inside prison?

It also seems that he built up an entire online presence before he'd stepped out of prison, the way it reads.



I imagine he did it the way we all did in the 70s and 80s: by digesting every shred of information from available print publications.


I guess there is that, it explains how he knew about Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn and also what an Apple iPhone + Safari is.


There are televisions in prison, and the net is all over broadcast TV programming.


That phrasing makes me think someone explained internet search engines like a card catalog at a library.


He also has access to TV and movies.
