Technorati Tags: Linux,Microsoft. OJ Award,Funny,Computerworld,Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols is a fellow blogger at Computerworld, and typically drives me a little nuts with his "Microsoft-is-evil" / "Linux is God’s OS" posts (it drives me a little crazy when people take such a one-sided rabid stand on the OS issue – I am all for […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This post has no technical value. Just experimenting with how much traffic I can get by putting the term “clickjacking” in a post. But seriously, if you want to know anything about it, go listen to Martin’s podcast interview with Jeremiah and Rsnake. You can also go over to Computerworld and take a look at […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
OK, I haven’t given out an OJ award in a while, but The Hoff deserves this far and away. He wrote a poem about the DNS flaw debacle and the debate that has ensued about disclosure, and it is the most awesome display of security poetry to date in my not-so-humble opinion. So Chris, here […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Diebold Accidentally Leaks Results Of 2008 Election Early
This post at Darknet.org.uk was devastatingly hilarious. Just the title alone made me crack up: Im In Your Leenucks Box Changing Your Password. It is all about a professor teaching a technical class. He has some young punk who thinks he is the man when it comes to hacking. The prof teaches the punk a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We had a sales person ask for a recommendation on personal password management. Of course everyone recommended Password Safe. But then the fun began: #1 Pen and paper? #2 And tape it to the bottom of your laptop. #3 I just use “password” for all mine. Keeps it real easy #4 – This one is mine: […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
OK, I know I said I was going to bed, but then I saw this post at mcwresearch.com. Michael, you have earned your first OJ award. Congrats! Vet
Why do Alan and Mitchell call the Still Secure, After All These Years blog and podcast “SSATY” instead of “SSAATY”? Is there a conspiracy against the letter “A”? Do they not like the letter “A”? I would think not since it starts Alan’s first name and also starts Mitchell’s last name. Does it help Alan cut […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
[Updated post - I added quite a bit] I am about to leave the RSA conference. I am a little disappointed that I was not here all week. The last two years I arrived Monday and left Friday and got to go to all the sessions I could make it to. But that was when […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Since I am resolved not to get on this dang computer this holiday weekend, I leave you with this Eddie Murphy clip from Trading Places: [ev type="youtube" data="vs08a4D0lgg"][/ev]
I have been blog-tagged by Ian Lamont, the Online Projects Editor over at Computerworld. I have mixed feelings about this stuff, especially since this is an information security blog and I am supposed to be guarding information. But it seems harmless enough. So, in the holiday spirit, I guess I will play along. I am […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Alan and Mitchell at the StillSecure After All These Years podcast interviewed me last week for their podcast. It is up here at Alan’s site and here at Mitchell’s site. I gave an update on my move to the channel, about honesty in selling security, the converging of the security professional and the general IT […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My wife and sister-in-law managed to convince my father-in-law to dig through the storage closet and pull out their old Classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). They have a bunch of games like the original Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt, Dr. Mario, etc. I am posting this at almost midnight Central time, and they are still playing. I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I might adopt this as my theme song. Do I have to pay royalties? [ev type="google" data="1384277706451157121"][/ev]
Thanks to Pito at salas.com for the link to this site. Very sweet looking speed test site. And you can choose speed test servers all over the world. Of course, they could be downloading malware on your PC, but hey, it is still cool! Vet
I started doing some research, and I found this picture. Now I am not making any political statement here, so don’t flame me. I didn’t see this during the Bush – Gore campaign battle, and I have to say that this kinda freaked me out for a second. Then I started laughing. Vet
