The Fake News Alerts Get Scarier
The other day, I talked about fake emails from CNN and Microsoft that were actually viruses. Well, they’ve gotten even creepier. Now, they say they’re coming from MSNBC, and they make it look like the link is a raw link that goes where it should, but it isn’t. So, if you get news alerts, and …
Site-Tweakage Is Finally Complete!
Last Tuesday, I started changing old posts so they had a proper title. Now, finally, *collapses in a heap*, they’re done! Well, they were done yesterday morning, but this is the first time I had a chance to post about it. Every single blog post has its title field filled in! Here’s a quick and …
The Way Too Convincing Virus

It said that the page /help/content/oeip.html could not be found from www.rogershelp.com. I thought this was pretty weird, and couldn’t …
Save Your Lost Child
Wow. When I look back at that old post about texting, I can tell I didn’t have a text message-capable phone. I can also tell I was kinda short-sighted. I have now heard of an awesome use for the camera in your phone if you have kids. Jill wrote a really awesome tip on how …

System Access To Go
This is a test of the System Access To Go service. It’s a pretty cool idea. As a blink, I always feel sort of tied to my own computer. Why? Because my computer talks, and others don’t. Well, now, blinks can make any modern computer talk. All they need is a computer with a sound …
