So, I think Evan is dumb. I think he did something to get a good story and I think he did other things because he was lonely. (Create a Facebook and Twitter for his "hiding" persona, for instance.) If you truly wanted to disappear you'd cut those out entirely. But, like I said. Wired probably wanted him to get caught, it's a better story. It's certainly a better story with near misses, but those details infuriated me.
However I found this a good long read so I thought I would share.
