Anonymity and (dis)honesty on the Internet
I got a call from my sister last week about a computer issue she was having that was semi-related to my last “prudent computing” post, but I thought it was different enough to merit a new post. She called me up and said she had been searching around for something for her son. He’s only…

Witty Wednesday
We believe very strongly that everyone needs a little break to crack a joke and laugh once in a while. Who wants to read a stuffy old blog that only has text and a fancy picture now and then, right?
