Trust Turned to Trussed
posted by Chip Witt
I spend a fair amount of my commute time reading. Mostly just catching up on a seemingly endless pile of magazines covering topics of interest to me professionally and personally. Among my most favorite is IEEE Security & Privacy. It always manages to capture my attention, and holds my interest until I've wound up reading the issue very nearly cover-to-cover...sometimes with a chuckle or two.
Usually when an article on the very serious issues surrounding computer security and privacy produces a chuckle or laugh, it seldom has anything to do with the topic, or the author's coverage of it. Most often, I get tickled over my own mental contortions of what is being said...generally, outside of the original context. As an example:
[/laugh_lest_we_cry] permanent link
- conferences-training
- cool_software
- good_books
- hey_mr_DJ
- laugh_lest_we_cry
- stayin_active
- tech_tips
- the_new_unix
- thinking_outloud
- whatznew
"Each blog is like a fireplace, and each post is like a log heaved on top to keep the fire burning. Every post has its own ¨permalink¨, so others can point directly to it. As long as a blog puts out heat and light, others who care about the author's subject are drawn to it. So are Google and other search engines, which sift constantly through the ashes".
