Thirty-Two

A nice little pick-me-up today: I went to buy some new clothes and had to go down a size in jeans to a 32. Last year I lost 30 pounds thanks to diet (Weight Watchers Online, i.e., "Forget Atkins, Just East Sensibly and Control Your Portions") and exercise (riding my bike to work), and went from a size 36 waist to, now, a 32. It feels good. My only complaint is that the weight didn't all come off my middle, which still needs work. Maybe in several months I'll be posting about 30?

Unpatched PCs Compromised in 20 Minutes

Again, why do I use a Mac? Study: Unpatched PCs compromised in 20 minutes. Look, this isn't a "my computer is better than your computer" issue anymore... if you value your data or security at all (and you should!), the insecurity of Windows is just unacceptable.
