Q: Who doesn’t believe in downsizing?

A: The Federal Government.

The U.S. faces a cybersecurity threat of such magnitude that the next President should move quickly to create a Center for Cybersecurity Operations and appoint a special White House advisor to oversee it. Those are among the recommendations in a 44-page report by the U.S. Commission on Cybersecurity, a version of which will be made public today. The bipartisan panel includes executives, high-ranking military officers and intelligence officials, leading specialists in computer security, and two members of Congress.

The answer for any type of new problem as far as a liberal is concerned is BIGGER government. If the private sector is cutting jobs don’t worry. The Feds will just create more new government jobs.

Problem solved. Not.

A Little Change of Scenery

I just changed the theme. It’s Japan-esk. I like it.

I was looking around the web today and found it quite by accident.

I think I’ll leave it up for a while.

The Next Big Thing

I’m working on writing code for a brand new website for my aunt and uncle’s church.

It’s a big project. I suffer from the pretense that a church website HAS to be better than most other websites out there. I’ve thought about it a bit more and realize that I’m approaching this from the wrong angle.

Because it’s a foursquare church website. Because it’s my aunt and uncle’s church. Of course, it’s going to be a great website.

Silly programmer.

A Day Off

It’s true.

At least, as far as I know it’s true.

Last Sunday I was eating breakfast with my folks inside Wal-Mart at the McDonald’s literally minutes before church was supposed to begin.

The phone rang. It was work asking me to come in.

Maybe this Sunday I’ll actually make it to church.

Amen.

Update: The phone NEVER rang and I did make it in to church. The only problem was that I had so much to do that going back to work on Monday will seem like a vacation. Sheesh!
