Must have coffee…

Yeah, I know, I made a typing error and breakfast in bed turned into breakfast in BAD. I wasn’t trying to insinuate that there was anything but breakfast, I just have this typing/spelling problem. Usually I rely on a good spell check, but, obviously, bad didn’t turn up as a bad spelling so I missed it! Thanks for pointing it out, Anita.

Seems like everyone who is blogging from SXSW is having a great time. Made me really jealous while I was sitting in a staff meeting this morning. 😉

Fred Langa’s latest newsletter has a story on a new bit of scumware that leaves desktop shortcuts and favorite folders to such wonderful things as adult sites, and gambling sites.

I am surprised it fooled that many people, I mean if you follow the internet at all you should know .usa and .brit aren’t valid TLD’s, but I guess not everyone pays that much attention
