@SSW There are crazies everywhere. The vast, VAST majority of predations are committed by someone you know. This myth of the random stranger targeting your family based solely off of online pictures is just that -- a myth. If I could meet the producers of Dateline NBC I'd punch them in the mouth for all their "internet is scary" horsecrap.

I pay much closer attention to the hiring practices at my daughter's school, who her friends are, and who her friends' parents are. I don't worry about the imagined internet predator in the same way I don't worry about getting struck by meteorites -- both are about as likely.

Now, when she's old enough to start surfing the web on her own, the game will change. Crazies use the Internet to BECOME someone you know, and that's something different altogether. In the mean time, I see no reason to make family and friends jump through insane authentication hoops just to see pictures of my wife and daughter.

You are a better man than me. I would never publicly post a flickr stream of my family. May I ask why you have done that? There are crazies out there. You still at Techrepublic?

I have read a lot of articles about the first flag raised over Iwo Jima. The Marine Mueseum mentions it has the second flag but does not say anything about the first. Just wondering if they really do have it?

I was just checking blog visitors and backtracked a couple of links to your blog. And it amused the heck out of me to find that you are Written Weird. Best of luck with the writing. It's a blast, isn't it? (Except for those pesky rejections.)

Also you are my buddy/ former boss who always outgeeks me.
