Yesterday was the first day of school here in Tracy. My older two are both in High School now. My wife was having some difficulty getting Cassie registered for high school as the office was closed whenever she tried to go there. And they weren't registered at the end of last year because she didn't have the TDaP booster shot yet which is required by California state law.

Yesterday was the 2011 Cornerstones of Trust conference in Foster City, and we had a great turnout. There were 29 sponsor booths from various information security vendors. Four great tracks that were mostly full.

During one of the track session that I attended during the event was the Computer Incident Response Planning session presented by Neal McCarthy.

I was super excited when this came out, however, the last few updates have made this game unplayable. I've been trying to play for several days now and all of my games have blank playing boards and scores of 0.

Today my wife asked me why I resigned all my games. 

I didn't resign any games. Come on Zynga, what's going on with this now?

So I took my bike to the shop this morning rather than just buying a new battery so I can get my brakes looked at as well as to make sure the KIPASS system is still ok. While there it was pointed out that both my tires are at a point where they should be replaced. 

So here's the things that are being replaced right now.

• new Bridgestone Battleaxe BT-023 tires
• Yuasa Battery
• OEM Break Pads 

I'm also having the dongle installed from a new Battery Tender, that was $39.00.

I am still seeing and hearing a fair amount of tweets and speculation about what the RSA Breach that was announced by Art Coviello, Executive Chairman, RSA.

There seems to be a lot of people worried about this particular breach stating that the RSA SecurID tokens have become "useless" or advocating that you request that RSA replace every one.

This weekend I went into my garage and checked the battery on my motorcycle, knowing that it would be low because I have not ridden it in a while. Several reasons that I haven't ridden include the fact that the office at work is STILL being renovated, the weather has been very wet here in Northern California and I don't have anyone close by to ride with.

So when I go in there, I press the key in, and turn the ignition on, flip through the dash computer to the battery status page and note that the batter is sitting at about 8.4v.

If you're a member of the Information Security community, you're probably already aware of the breach that occured to RSA Security with regards to their SecureID Token two-factor authentication solution is used by millions including government and private sector organizations.

I used to have an iPhone, and would play this game with friends and strangers as well as my wife. Back in September, I switched to the Samsung Captivate Android based platform, and this is the only app that I wish was ported when I switched. There was an announcement that the app would be coming to the Android platform.

Well, my wait is finally over. I just installed "Words with Friends Free" from the Android market published by Zynga with friends.

This Bunny is like 3x the size it was when she got it. And it was pulling on my camera strap and my pants

Silly rabbit, pants are for wearing... :P

Last night, I decided to dig out the camera when I saw the light hitting my pool table a certain way. I have some ideas for imagery, and here's the first of them.
