More Meanderings
Saw a headline today that said...
Will Nelson's Exit Cost Dems Senate?
And I thought - I had no idea Willie Nelson was a Senator... um...oh okay... nevermind. heh.

Apparently someone threw a dead duck onto the ice near the end of the San Jose (Sharks) / Annaheim (Ducks) game. I think that tops the dead squid they throw at the Detroit games.

The guys at Bagel Tech Foto found Missy MWAC last week on youtube. This week they had her on the show. She is hilarious.
Here's her first vid where you will find out all about "the camera".
It's good, but I have to say her appearance on Bagel Tech Foto was awesomely hilarious.

Ah lovely, GoDaddy supports SOPA - this makes them even sleazier than I though they could ever be and I thought they were at the bottom of the barrel.

The security analysis firm Stratfor was hacked. Anonymous got lots of emails and passwords. Long long ago I subscribed to Stratfor. They started out free then went to a paid subscription. They were good, but sadly (in my view) a presidential election came along. They decided they had to make their very own "Presidential endorsement". *sigh* That's when they started touting their own political stance in their newsletters AND that's when I dropped them.
Politics of any stripe tend to make people into idiots of the highest order. Not good at all when you are trying to run an information business. At that point one has to question the quality of the information they are presenting in other areas. Best to not say anything at all.
Still... I wonder if any of my old info was still on their servers. Interesting.
As for the people throwing out innuendo about a security firm being hacked and "how good can they be"... well, it all depends on how they got hacked. Even then it's difficult for me to get too critical. Any web presence can be hacked if the people behind the attack are determined enough. They only need one way in - the site has to try and protect against everything. It's a losing battle.

That's it for now. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend and are resting up in preparation for the New Year.

Before I saw what you wrote, my eyes > mind also thought "Willie Nelson did what?" And that woman "Missy"... for her there are No Words.

Ha - good I'm not the only one who sees it that way. LOL.
As for Missy - in the Bagel Tech show she stayed completely in character - it was awesome indeed. She had them just rolling with laughter. Especially when she talked about the "Harry Potter setting". OMG... perfect!

Missy "concerns" me. And by that I mean I am "concerned." About Missy. But she has inspired me. I think I will become a professional photographer myself. There. I just did. Easy-peasy.
Anyway, you know what I always think when I read stories about hackers? I think, "Wow, I wish people that sharp and that dedicated and that FOCUSED and driven, and who are willing to work for free, usually, could put all their sharpness and drive and dedication and volunteer-spirit-energy or whatever it is, toward working on curing cancer or something like that. That would be awesome."

I was "concerned" about Missy until I heard her on BTF. After that I was in awe. But that's because I can't do funny at all.
As for hackers. I know exactly what you mean. All that intelligence without a goal other than to break into places and steal data (no matter the reason). If they could focus it on a larger problem just think what they could accomplish. Man that would be incredible... but I suppose it will never be.
