yeah it makes me wish I was able to invest more time in it, but I had no friends on Pownce...maybe 2.

Plus, you forgot to mention privacy options: ability to send a message to a group of users. That was real genius!

Re: iPhone Virus? Turn Your Phone Off | Trae Blain

No clarification necessary because calling out 98 & ME would also mean calling out Mac OS 8 and 9 which fall into the same category. Due to it's lack of popularity the vulnerabilities could not have been fully displayed. The post also indicates that popularity and security are inversely related, and although OS X is still a minor player OS 8 and 9 were even more minor players taking 3rd place behind OS/2 Warp.

The point isn't to say Microsoft released vulnerable software is that when something becomes popular if also becomes vulnerable. Had Apple been the big player we'd be talking about how horrible Mac OS's are and how we never had to deal with that with Windows 98! Also OS X gets specifically mentioned because the "Fanboy" culture that try to shove Macs down our throats have only been around since Jobs return to Apple and would have had no influence on OS 8 and little on OS 9.

Clarification is in order. You called out a specific Mac Operating system (OS X), yet you generalized the Windows operating system. I would say that some Windows Operating Systems are more vulnerable than others ( 98 & ME come to mind).

How much do you love when people comment on year old blog posts? Awesome right?

I was just weeding through my stats now that I've resurrected my blog and noticed this particular post had referred a few people to me.

I hope I can make it back onto your daily reads now that I'm back in the blogging saddle again!

P.S. It's still mostly pictures...probably always will be. I can't ever seem to get away from photography.

You can use your own domain by changing an A record. Also, I don't know how much you can edit your theme on wordpress.com... but you could always add a meta refresh tag to automatically point people over for a while. Not quite a 301 but it gets the job done.

Also, using Feedburner for your rss feeds allows you to change your feed w/o having to change the actual address.

I have been wanting to move to Tumblr, but we all know i have changed my domain too much as it is.

Re: Movies for Math Class

It surprises me that Pi and GWH are deemed inappropriate. I remember seeing Gladiator and other people seeing GWH during class time in High School. But every school is different so there's no telling.

For a Geometry class you might want to look at October Sky. There's distinct geometric/vector analysis for deriving the landing location of one of their rockets. It's a bit more physics and forces, but still a good thought. And it's very clean. Another good one might be The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down A Mountain. They talk about how they measure the elevation of the mountain dealing with proportionate triangles and a little trig. with the law of sines and cosines. It is also fairly clean. Just some suggestions.
