Hide My Ass From Penelope Garcia

Hide My Ass From Penelope Garcia

I’ve blogged before about Criminal Minds. Mainly that my wife and I watch too much of it. Many of the fiendish serial killers, perverts and assorted arch villains that the BAU is chasing are also computer experts. They know how to route their web access location through what are called proxy servers in different countries to hide from Penelope Garcia (portrayed by Kirsten Vangsness) on the show.

I’m interested in Web Video. Looking at Web Video, producing web video, optimizing web video (Video SEO) and mobile video.

I did a search recently on How to Mask My IP and came up with several interesting articles and programs that are available to download.

Check this one out called Hide My Ass!

A ROD SAY IT ISN’T SO….. WELL, I GUESS THAT DOESN’T MEAN MUCH DOES IT.

A Rod PED

All through the years, I’ve endured the A Rod haters. I always have given him the benefit of the doubt and oh those post season performances were brutal to suffer through.

I was so happy sitting on my couch with my newborn as Mariano Rivera threw the last strike in the 2009 World Series. First for myself because I had superstitiously put the burden of a Yankees victory on my daughter.

“If they win she’s going to have a great life, if they don’t she’ll have a good life….” Yeah I know that’s how ridiculous we men can be. But as I was in the hospital watching the Yankees dispatch the Angels (who have the Yankees number), I was convinced it was my daughter Sofia and not Derek Jeter, C.C. Sabathia and the rest who’d done it but my soon to be born daughter. And back to back games no less.

But I digress.

I was happy to see Alex Rodriguez soaking in the champagne.

Now to think that it could have been partially due to performance enhancing drugs is a let down. As it should be for Red Sox fans with respect to Manny Ramirez and…. well I won’t cast aspersions.

Bottom line is if it turns out that he was reckless enough and deceitful enough to get back on the juice or whatever it was he feel he needed to take to cheat his way to better performance, then good riddance to him and, like Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds and the rest, strike his name from the record books.

CIVILIAN USE OF DRONES

January 26th, 2013 · Social Commentary

People in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq won’t be the only ones saying… “Up in the sky…, it’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s ….. a Sixton A Drone.” The FAA Act will pave the way for allowing drones to fly in US civil airspace by September 2015.

The predominant uses will be of course law enforcement and what else? Spying.

I’m not so much concerned that drones will be flying over our heads making law abiding citizens safer as I am with what will happen down the road. Also it will save us money and time with respect to resources much as in the same way e-discovery programs save on say billable hours for lawyers.

But there’s something that I’m sure strikes most Americans as not quite good about this coming advancement in technology.

Here’s a great article on what is around the corner.

HERE COME THE REAL HUSBANDS OF…..

January 22nd, 2013 · Comedy

Just when you think Reality TV can’t get any worse, here come the real husbands.

But wait – it’s not real. Well… it’s not real, reality… tv… I mean it’s not like the fake reality tv which purports to be real but isn’t. This is fake reality….

Oh damn it… it’s just FUNNY!!!

Created by comedian Kevin Hart, the show (the real, fake one), follows him and some other married celebrities in a sort of “The Office” type of mockumentary. Each of the real comedians on the show including, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin, J.B. Smoove, Nick Cannon and Robin Thicke play parodied versions of themselves.

Based on the myriad of Real Housewives series – the show is scripted. Which is why it’s so damn funny. I hope Dave Chappelle makes a guest appearance.

If you get a chance watch it. Here’s a clip.
