Explaining Healthcare Issues

I think that these podcasts really do a great job of explaining, in an entertaining way, the healthcare issues currently in the news.

MS Security Essentials working fine

Just as a follow up I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials and it has been working well on my laptop.  It isn’t obstructive and doesn’t do a lot of popping up which tends to annoy people.  It keeps itself updated with no interaction from me and does the full scans on a regular schedule very much like the patching service.  Overall since it’s free and good it will most likely kill the free malware applications out there on the web.

Backup Mistakes Happen

Microsoft lost data on a SAN move for the Sidekick device, Mac's Snow Leopard has a bug that will delete your user if you log on as guest. Lesson? Even the big boys make mistakes. Backup your stuff. Don't depend on someone having their act together.

Getting MS Security Esstentials

I’m downloading Microsoft Security Essentials.  I’ll be testing it out and posting how it runs.  It’s totally free Antivirus and Antispyware from MS.

Yellowstone River Raft Ride

Went to Yellowstone with the family and had a great time. We decided to do a white water raft ride down the Yellowstone River and we had a blast! I even jumped in to the icy water to the great amusement of my sister. Here I am right after my brother pulled me back into the raft.
