The Flaming Lips was a pretty amazing show!
I highly recommend seeing them live if you get the chance. Even if you're not a fan of their music their shows are a ton of fun!

And my neverending battle continues.
Chase credit card services used to send me emails with direct links to their sign-in page disguised as buttons. This is in the Top Three of bad security practices for any company: NEVER send direct links to users, because you will get users accustomed to clicking those links and trusting the sites, making phishing attacks oh-so-much easier.
I dutifully reported every such email to Chase's fraud department. After a few months, the Chase emails I get now provide navigation instructions. "Sign in to your Chase account and then do xxx."
This morning I received an email for my corporate American Express card. "Click this link to confirm you received the card." Even worse, clicking the link brought you to a relatively empty page that said, "Enter your credit card number, security code, and expiration date here."
Nothing else.
I dutifully reported it to American Express' fraud department.
Phishing wouldn't be nearly as bad of a problem if major corporations weren't stupid enough to persist the idea of clicking links in emails.
Favorite personal story: An older friend who's a realtor asked me for help because his computer was now so slow he couldn't use it. A basic virus scan found seventeen distinct viruses on his hard drive. I ordered him not to click on links in emails. His response? "I can't do that! Every company does business by sending links!"
I responded that in that case, I'd clear the viruses this once, but he should never bother me again.
So 6 months later he had to buy himself a new laptop because the old one was once again too slow to use...

Woah. Only 331 posts since I last was on JJ's thread?

Mowing Guy (notices me smiling): What are you so happy about?
Me (smiling ear to ear): It's the first day back!
Mowing Guy: What are you working on?
Me: No idea, I'm just happy to be working again!
Mowing Guy: Well, don't let the boss see you like that otherwise he'll expect everyone to!

So I guess I'm a role model now.
I should probably update my resume.

I read this as you and "meowing guy" multiple times until I finally got that it was "mowing" - I'm good at reading.
(I'm not, though, especially since December. XD)

Being somewhat obsessive-compulsive has its rewards.
We just finished John Oliver's segment on data brokers, and even though it wasn't particularly newsworthy to me (I use Firefox with NoScript for virtually all of my web browsing because of stuff like this), I realized that I could use my own personal psychosis to help a teensy little bit.
Every Google Search or site visit I now do is a twofer: In random order, I do the actual search, and a search on complete nonsense. Just to fuzz the data a bit.
Today I clicked on a few ads for tasteful summer dresses, then searched for "incontinence" and went to the Mayo clinic web site on same. Tomorrow apparently I'm looking up "axolotl wrangling" because GothBard.
Soon I will be the Most Interesting Man In The World.

Building a driveway emblem today and tomorrow.
So no tooth wrangling.
I did pick up my special request 3 foot long drill bit. So that was pretty exciting!
Now I'm doing taxes, which is not exciting.

In yesterday's session, Peri, my PC, was temporarily hallucinating and trying to kill her party members because she biffed a Will save against some dank magic, and when I finally snapped out of it, the first thing I said was, "Radu! Lupi! Would you like some espresso?"

I was informed in a meeting yesterday that I'm being put on the Accreditation Committee for next year.
Because our school is over fifty years old, and has a great reputation locally, but no one ever cared about accreditation until the founders retired and my boss got hired as the director.
Her deputy said, "We just think you'll be great at that!"
What I said: "Well that's a kind euphemism for 'You have the kind of brain that is fascinated by the minutiae of beurocracy'."
What I didn't say: "Well that's a kind euphemism for 'We know you're the kind of person who will roll up their sleeves and take on hours of unpaid overtime without complaining'."

My seniors came into homeroom today with bags of snacks.
"...what's this for?"
"It's [college English teacher]'s birthday."
"...does she know that you're throwing a party?"
"Yeah."
"Well, we said it as a joke, so maybe not."
"She might know!"
"....this is the microwave all over again, isn't it?"
"Yes! Praise Jeff!"
I'm gonna miss them.

Apparently a group of students on campus has dubbed Impus Major the "Cyber Cowboy", and the nickname is spreading.
My son, the campus icon!
(And it's a much better name than the icons I had in my U.C. Berkeley days, such as "Polka Dot Man" or "Hate Guy".)

"Hate Guy"?
