Weird Wired Living 1

I figure I'll end up with lists like this again so may as well make this a series from the start.

I followed a blog trail back to these excellent Blog Commenting Guidelines

Then I stopped by BillP's excellent site and found a warning as to how much information (and misinformation) can be gleaned from logged search engine entries tied to any particular identifier. (In AOL's case it was a number.) Illustrated by this poor lady's story.

from there I followed his links to read about Windows XP Optimzing Myths

& the handyness of McAfee's SiteAdvisor

& some warnings about the proliferating Zango ads/games/ & more recently, a winamp skin

& stopbadware.org which endeavors to keep track of some of the malware out there.



& a reminder to get the most recent windows patches. These folks also note that myspace info is particularly non-secure in wifi settings. You can check on your security updates here

lest all these warnings make you want to hide...

Stumbled on some more classic free ebooks in the MS reader format

I also found a somewhat amusing photo-shopped pc vs mac ad

(which had a link to a funny ad called 'sinking' )

Enjoy!



Thats it for now!

Oh, that "sinking" add was hilarious!

Also, thanks for stopping by our group blog. I don't know if you knew this, but I had another blog that you commented on at times. It was this one that I recently closed down.

Some friends and I have now started a group blog dealing mostly with student ministry but will tackle various other topics as well pertaining to Christianity and church life.

God bless and we'll see you around the blogosphere.

I believe I remember it! I also remember thinking it was pretty good.

Thanks for stopping by!

What a total hoot! I loved reading this, Shushan. Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday. I see that we have a similar template. AND you're from Virginia, where I was born (Lynchburg) way back in 1945 :) It's a small world after all!
