Change is in the atmosphere, you can feel it coming

There were seven of us last night, we ranged in aged from late 20s to early 50s. The evening involved strawberry caprioskas and wine and tapas and pizza. And laughing. A lot of laughing. I’ve worked with some of these women for almost three years. They are some of the nicest, most fun people I have ever met. Last night was fun, but sad in a way. It was as if you could feel the tide going out, pulling some of us away.

Apparently in the US Federal agents have the power to take your laptop when you enter the country – even when there is nothing to indicate you’ve done something illegal. They can take it off-site for an unspecified period of time and even share copies of the laptop’s contents with other agencies and private entities. This applies to anyone entering the US – citizens and non-citizens alike. They do it, of course, in the name of security. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff wrote that “the most dangerous contraband is often contained in laptop computers or other electronic devices”. Mmmmm. Yes. Thoughts. Ideas. Dangerous stuff.

Apparently they may have found a turd on Mars. For some reason this makes me giggle. Incessantly.
A young man known only by his surname of Yang was charged by police Shangqiu, China, for conspiring to fake his own abduction ... he tried to get $1400 out of his parents because they wouldn’t get him a Wii. Waaaaaa.
Having explored Expression Engine, Wordpress and Joomla! in various ways and having built at least website in each, I’ve come back to Expression Engine as my content management system of choice. It’s easy to get your head around and doesn’t involve too much PHP (*shudder*). Now if I could only get the IT security luddites at work to stop freaking out about it.
