A very interesting article from wired.com sends the blogosphere in search of a reporter attempting to completely disappear.

Writer tried to vanish: Here's what happened

There are also companion articles from participants in the mad hunt for Evan, which included cryptic puzzles tweeted, hints posted in the NY Times crossword and a completely fictitious identity, on the right side of the page. A good read. Apparently he did it as research into a story on people who fake their deaths/disappear. His research seems more interesting than the article!

I agree. If someone is trying to disappear a month is nothing. Anyone can do that.

He sure as hell didn't stay "off the grid", that's for sure.
