Thanks to Robyn, I learned that not only can you use X10 cameras to spy on your kids or the babysitter, or your good looking houseguests, but lots of other folks could be tapping into those images as well! Hmm might want to think twice about what you’re doing in front of the X10, eh?

It will be interesting to see how Chris Pirillo’s e-book does. It’s an interesting idea, pool together 50 tips about a subject, XP in this case, and push it out as an e-book at 5 bucks a pop. I’m curious to see how it sells.

This article compares current proposed US legislation to the USSR. Hmm maybe he read my comparison to Cuba? 🙂

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Pulled from today’s version of the Langa List could be the answer to something that I’ve been meaning to look at more closely.

    I’ve complained about it when it doesn’t happen, so I guess I’ve got to give credit where credit is due. We have a new employee starting on Dec. 2, and I already know her name and where she’s going to work and what levels of access she needs. Will wonders never cease? 🙂 Follow these…
