The internet has changedCategory: web
I remember back when I first made the site in 2002 I was the only person I knew on mobile, except maybe (e:chris). Now the latest entries list is full of mobile posts.

Interesting..... I think mobile internet is the reason that twitter has exploded and the driving force behind facebook as well.... Now Granted there is a regular site and a mobile site but it looks as if things like Ipad (great south park episode bashing apple last night by the way) take off or fall flat that will effect how websites look......

Heh, but your comments won't indicate that you posted them from a mobile platform or not.
I guess I prefer posting from my stable computer even if I do have a smartphone.

I sorta feel like I should run out and get a smart phone in order to comment on this.

Wifi privacy nightmare in buffaloCategory: computers
Wow this would totally suck. People really need to password protect their wifi. Not that password protected wifi is unhackable but at least it much safer.
BUFFALO, N.Y.
It was a nightmare scenario: A homeowner forced to lie on the floor while gun-wielding federal law enforcement officers called him a pedophile and pornographer.
But the Buffalo, N.Y., man was innocent. Someone else had tapped into his wireless Internet router to download child pornography. The homeowner had gotten frustrated trying to set up a password to protect the wireless signal and paid a heavy price.

I admit I'm a little lost about the other stuff... It is crazy that they went in with guns drawn. What if he had a legal gun and was say cleaning it or something or someone had a toy gun.... The Point is you don't go in with guns out over down loaded images it wasn't like the guy was shooting porn in the basement......

In addition to passwords, it's a good idea to turn off broadcasting your essid and set your router for a white-list of MAC addresses.
All these can be hacked, of course, but it would make it a wee bit more difficult for a lazy wardriver.
Another good idea is to look at what machines are actually assigned ip's by your router. If you only have 3 devices and there are 4 different MACs attached to your network, someone is probably using your network without your permission.

jelly belly beansCategory: food
The pear ones taste so good. I remember when these first came out here when I was a kid. We would take the bus from kenmore down to the main place mall where they had them. I still remember how surprised I was when I tried popcorn flavor ones.

A few of those are really tasty but never sure what flavor was what flavor...................

It was freezing when I walked home an hour back. I wasn't wear my usual 15 layers because I was sweating yesterday but we are back to winterishness again.
