Wall of Death

I am actually impressed with the structure but disappointed that they didn't burn it.

Conficker, batten down the hatches April 1st?

While eating dinner a few days ago, my girlfriend and I were watching the national news. a sixty year old reporter was informing us that the Conficker worm was coming for our children on April 1st and we should be extremely concerned. While working in the Information Technology field, it has prepared me for situations like this. I remember the Melissa, Blaster and Storm viruses and they didn't really cause anything other than an annoyance to companies and users. No power grids went down, no toasters exploded but some companies were hit hard taking care of these issues with manpower and hours worked. This sounds like something that the media was fed during the Bush Administration a few years ago, a.k.a. duct tape and plastic wrap. I predict that the CONficker worm will come and go causing a small bump in the road, just as those mentioned before. If you know that something is coming and already have a fix for it, what is the panic and alarm? DDOS attacks or Denial of Service Attacks are about the only thing that I am even considering as a possibility. So hopefully my blog isn't on the radar of the botnet puppeteer or you may not get a chance to read this! Most likely, some website or service is going to get hit hard. Sometimes this is a good thing, it's kind of like an impromptu bench mark test. I could see where that would help ISP's and hosting services prepare for the next big scare.

Fish tank

 

The fish are starting to get larger and the tank is finally almost done.

Uniq Fruit? WTF??

I noticed this a few weeks ago while walking through the super market and thought that I would share. WTF? I am sure that it is delicious but as Samuel L. Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction said, "Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I ain't eatin the mother fucker."

Church of D and B, turn it up.

This is a video mashup of bible thumpers and thumping D and B. Those crazy evangelicals.

Balancing Point from DANNY BROWN on Vimeo.

I think that this is really cool. Also, I was impressed that they used john frusciante in the soundtrack.

This just sounds dirty to me

I was walking into the gas station the other day and saw this sign posted in the window. The title of the foundation did not make any sense to me but it does sound funny. I don't know who would want to be a member of the Christ's Starfish (Asshole) Foundation but I know some that I might refer to it. Just think of it, people can have business cards made up for the Christ's Asshole Foundation.
