Summer security happenings

The Register has a good article on the security conferences going on in Las Vegas right now: Black Hat, B-Sides, and DEFCON.  The article is very accessible for non-security gurus and gives a really good flavor of what's what in the security research community.

Full Disclosure: I was fingered by SumD00d in the DEFCON "Spot the Fed" contest way back in (IIRC) 2006 when I was at Big Tech Company.  I wasn't a Fed, but the experience was fun enough to be memorable.

If you are at least casually interested in what's happening in the Security community, this is a good 5 minute read. 

A Roman bath that has been in continual use since the 1st Century

The narrator kind of drones on a bit, but this is pretty amazing - a Roman bath that has been used continually for almost 2000 years.

Shirley Ellis - The Clapping Song

The Queen Of The World brought an idea to me - songs which all you Old Farts will recognize.  She was singing to me - this song - and I thought she'd lost her mind.  Instead, she was leading me to (ahem) Old Fart crowd pleasers.

I probably will make this a regular feature, although I cannot rely on the ever-youthful TQOTW for material.  For you Old Farts, I mean.

Damn, I remember 1965.  I guess I'm an Old Fart.
