Quote of the Moment

In the Fairfax Apartments (Apartment 12-J)
A very small, very small shirker named Jo-Jo
Was standing, just standing, and bouncing a Yo-Yo!
Not making a sound! Not a yipp! Not a chirp!
And the Mayor rushed inside and he grabbed the young twerp!

And he climbed with the lad up the Eiffelberg Tower.
"This," cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour!
The time for all Whos who have blood that is red
To come to the aid of their country" he said.
"We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts!
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!"

Thus he spoke as he climbed. When they got to the top,
The lad cleared his throat and he shouted out, "YOPP!"

And that Yopp...
that one small, extra Yopp put it over!
Finally, at last! From that speck on that clover
Their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean.
And the elephant smiled. "Do you see what I mean?...
They've proved they ARE persons, no matter how small.
And their whole world was saved by the Smallest of All!"

--Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who


a vote is a vote, no matter how small.

Security

Bits of things via the securitymentor2 feed, which usually deals with computer security.

Watching a video can get you in trouble. No, really. If you have Quicktime for Windows, patch it. Patch Real Player too (or don't use it).

Good news about Internet Explorer.
Bad news about Internet Explorer.

Another kind of security: Checks and Balances.

Voting machine security? Ha. Ha. Ha. As a Marylander who didn't vote absentee, I'll get to play with one of these machines tomorrow. We'll see what happens.
