Hiding your Wifi SSID is NOT secure

Sep 15 2010 Published by under Ramblings

Don’t hide your SSID – it doesn’t help… oh, and BTW and don’t use MAC filtering either – it also doesn’t help…

This myth has been around for a very long time, and we aren’t expecting everybody to receive this news with happy agreement. You’re welcome to state your case in the comments for why hidden wireless networks are a great idea, but we think if you keep reading, you’ll realize that it’s just not a security feature.

Is Hiding Your Wireless SSID Really More Secure?

The History of Family Guy

Sep 13 2010 Published by under Ramblings

I had no idea it took so many years to get Family Guy to where it is today…

We all love Family Guy but it wasn’t quite always the show you’ve come to know. Here you can see Seth MacFarlane’s original idea of a man with his talking sidekick of a dog evolve into what the show is now.

It all started with McFarlane’s original creation “The Life of Larry.” This was presented to networks in 1995. It stars Larry (an older, skinner man than Peter), his talking dog, unattractive wife Lois, and their son.

Buy memories, not stuff

Aug 31 2010 Published by under Ramblings

Good advice…

SHE had so much.

A two-bedroom apartment. Two cars. Enough wedding china to serve two dozen people.

Yet Tammy Strobel wasn’t happy. Working as a project manager with an investment management firm in Davis, Calif., and making about $40,000 a year, she was, as she put it, caught in the “work-spend treadmill.”

So one day she stepped off.

But Will It Make You Happy?

Helium shortage coming, running out in 25 years

Aug 30 2010 Published by under Ramblings

Ouch – my kids may never know what a party balloon is!

Apparently, the world is running out of helium. Robert Richardson, a Nobel Prizewinner, believes that helium supplies will run out in 25 years. And since no other substance has a lower boiling point than helium, this could be a problem.

Is twitter and micro-blogging starting to lose its cool-factor?

Aug 27 2010 Published by under Ramblings

I never really micro-blogged… my twitter account is just a fancy RSS feed for this blog… I felt that twitter and the like was a “throw away” medium… just cast it out there and people may or may not read it… Looks like Leo agrees…

“everything I’ve posted over the past four years on Twitter, Friendfeed, Pownce, etc. has been an immense waste of time”
