Well, now, this sounds interesting...

A quest to improve my spirituality.

Everything old is new again!

Hey, let's start the New Year off right!

Okay, so this is a very scary bedtime story.

"Once upon a time, there was a hard-working network security admin. His company ordered a security audit, and he thought it was a great idea. Then, the evil network security auditor/outsourcer told his company that the security admin was the weakest link in their network security. So they fired him."
The only reason that's scary is because it's also apparently true.

Is this really a danger?

Well, according to this story on Wired News, the Office of Homeland Defence seems to think so. In fact, they're so sure it's going to be an issue that they're going to spend $33 million on protecting our livestock.
No, really, they are.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this...

Okay, this is actually kind of sad.

The "orange" box....

Now, I have to admit that I really dig little computers. I mean, when I was a kid, all the science-fiction writer's were just starting to explore tiny, but powerful, computers. Now, we've got all kinds of personal sized machines that are better than the servers I started out working with in my first IT job!
The latest of those is called T-Cube. It's a little, orange box that runs its own OS. It's not big, but they pack a lot into it. You can read more about it at I4U.
