Don't bother to pay for Internet access in the Meadows!

The Meadows is the neighborhood that I live in.

Last night on the way home from work, I decided to do a little WarDriving. WarDriving is when you take a laptop running WiFi stumbling software to find WiFi hotspots and see if they are secure or not. Well, if you look at the attached screenshot of the stumbler, most of the WiFi access points I found were running no security at all. Shazam! is my access point and notice that WEP is on in my house.

If people only understood how easily it is for somebody to browse their local networks, and to use a password cracking piece of software to gain access to their local files, people wouldn't be so ignorantly putting a signal out there with no security running.

You should see the WarDriving list I got from driving on Rt.18 from Akron to Fairlawn!

Too true, too true

I'm a Linux lover. More than half of the computers I own are running Linux. It is the most customizeable OS out there and because it is free, I can play with any one of 100's of different distros of Linux any time I want. The computer that I use when I start my day is a Linux box running Ubuntu "Fiesty Fawn", the newest release of Ubuntu Linux. It networks 100x easier than an Windows box, and my Macs find it on the network and are able to use it's shared network printer easily.

Go Linux!

James, where've you been?

We've been having a new baby!

Here's some pics of our new addition to our family. His name is Nathan Benjaman. He is 9lbs 7oz, 22" long. He was born at home with just Michelle and I. Thats right, no midwife, no doctor, nobody but husband and wife delivering their new baby.

Cool!
