Just a real quick post, this morning. It looks like Twitter and Facebook are both experiencing some site problems. I can't tell whether or not Facebook's problems are due to a cyber attack, but FoxNews.com is reporting that Twitter was indeed hacked.

Did Microsoft and YAHOO! Strike a Deal?

Keep your ears open for an announcement that Microsoft and YAHOO! have come to an agreement over their joint search and advertising businesses.

Apparently, Rush, one of the all-time greatest rock bands, is trying to achieve sainthood, because they're offering all (or most) of their songs for free! Of course, you can't download or otherwise distribute the music, but you can listen all you want!

Reduce The Risk Of Visiting Dangerous Websites

Ed Coyne — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 19:49:51 +0000

A few months ago, maybe even longer than that, I came across the Web Of Trust. I believe it was while I was searching for new Firefox add-ons. Just out of curiosity, I installed it. At the time, I didn't realize what a valuable tool it would turn out to be.
