by Tim Burton


I’ve watched this several times since it originally came out way back when. But today was a special treat. Me and my 4 year old were at my parents when he discovered the VHS that’s been there since when ever that was released. With all the recent batman stuff on TV lately he decided he wanted to watch it. Of course the none action scenes bored him and he still doesn’t under stand secret identities, but I’m pretty sure he is a fan now, he even got a Batman lunch box :)

by Cory Doctorow


I started reading the free download version and decided to support Cory Doctorow by buying the hardcopy. I thought this was an awesome book. So many good elements to it I couldn’t really stop reading it and finished it up quickly. I know it’s for young adults but it also good for infosec folks.

Stealing the Network: How to Own an Identity (Stealing the Network)
by Raven Alder


I’ve found this book to be a entertaining read, easier at night then reading a full blown tech book but with all the geeky goodness.

by Andrew Stanton


I took the family out to see this on opening night. I thought this was a great movie with a great underlying message. From a 4 year olds perspective “we need a real Wall-E at home”. He sat there and watched the whole thing and loved it, him sitting still for that length of time is a miracle itself :)

Zero Day Threat: The Shocking Truth of How Banks and Credit Bureaus Help Cyber Crooks Steal Your Money and Identity
by Byron Acohido


I read this book because I really wanted to find the shocking truth about how banks help cyber crooks steal your money. What I found was some stories about crimes that have been committed, which I have read about before, but with more detail. What I didn’t find was much on how banks help with stealing money. It focused mostly on the Payment Card Industry and Credit Bureaus which do seem to help, but not really anything from the banking side that could actually be used to make a bank more secure.

I won a screen saver. I remember when you could just twist of the cap and read if you won another Dr. Pepper or not, that was much better. So now I have a screen saver advertisement, I don’t really fell like I won anything….

Lots of policies and procedures. Today I decided to take a break from that and catchup on a few other things.

I discovered that there is a Visio 2007 Connector for the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. Since we already keep things documented with Visio this caught my attention. It is really nice, I had to make a couple of adjustments to the maps and boom it was working. I don’t say it much but thanks Microsoft. Now I can quickly check any windows based machine from the map with a click. And it already helped me solve one issue.

Not that I really need another email address but I’m playing around with it. Not sure if its my connection or Safari but I just borked it up some how trying to tag an email message. Also I sent an invite to it from gmail thinking it would add it to the calendar there, but that doesn’t work.
