injera and grapesCategory: rochester
I ate so many grapes at the Eastman house. Then we went out for Ethiopean vegan food. Not my favorite but not terrible although I am not a fan of the ace bandage resembling injera bread which is made of formented Teff. What it really needed was like goat or Lamb. I love that my phone thinks Lamb needs to be capitalized. I concur.

If there are two things I really miss, it's my almost daily walk through this beautiful and awe-inspiring cemetery and the HUGE summer farmer's market in Rochester.

It's one of my favie cemeteries in the world. And certainly my favie in Western NY.

Friday Night Bike Ride Through BuffaloCategory: biking
This was the first bike ride I went on since my bike was stolen at canisius college back in 2002.
At the end of the ride I tried to write my name in the Jew center parking lot via GPS but unfortunately I had the drop point set to every 16 ft so it just looks all curly. I will have to try again with shorter intervals.
In the last eight years I became quite a bit furrier and tonight I realized furry butt, tight jeans and bike seat aren't a good match. Maybe that's why people wear bike shorts.

Revisiting Clipboard Security in IECategory: computers
The day (e:samathon86) and I revisited the IE clipboard insecurity site 
I made five years ago. Many IE users are still 100% vulnerable to this stupid exploit and it seems like no one cares. I bet a huge percentage of all IE users are. Basically, it lets a website read your clipboard in Internet Explorer if you don't have your setting set properly. The interesting part is that it allows the site to continue to read it in the background.
In fact I found it to be so extreme as to read the host OS clipboard while IE was running in a VM.
You can use the site to test your browser's vulnerability and turn it off. You are totally safe if you are using a browser besides IE, although I am wondering if flash presents a similar risk. I might check it out more this week.

I really want to make injera someday but it's tough to get right.
You went to my favourite Ethiopian restaurant after a stroll through my favourite cemetary. My eyes have turned an unhealthy hue of green.
