Two Security Fails

Today I encountered two security fails.
1) When chatting with Sprint customer support they need your account PIN to update your records. After the conversation is over they email your transcript with your PIN sent in the clear.
2) When signing up to pay a travel fee to gain entry to a South American country they confirm your signup by sending you your username and password in the clear.

Good job!

Tuesday Forecast 03.11.2014

Well, change isn’t always good. We love supporting artists and giving you a direct link to buy their music at Amazon (which also gives us a little kick back to put towards our web hosting costs) but they have recently changed their embedding code and it’s all sorts of messed up. So until the formatting quirks get ironed out things are going to be a bit visually janky. But please, still check out the music, there is same great stuff coming out.

He’s only pulling your ponytail because he likes you.

Or as I call it the conservative approach to feminism.

Girls aka Horrible People Being Horrible to Each Other

I’ll admit that I’ve watched every episode of the HBO series “Girls.” It’s a guilty pleasure and it dawned on me, vapid, shallow, horrible people being horrible to each other Girls is a fictional prequel to the Real Housewives of NY. In fact so much that I’d love to see a mashup with the other HBO series “True Detective” wherein the scene where Marty is given a flask to drink through watching a graphic crime, is swapped with scenes from Girls.
