22 Apr 20146 reasons information security causes global warming
In keeping with the divorce and everything Capitalist or conservative causes "global warming" movement, how about this:Information security causes global warming (or cooling, or whatever it needs to be called today)I really believe we have a "crisis" on our hands and here's why: The need for IT security controls is a negative side-effect of Capitalism - man bettering himself if you will. If we didn't have computers and the Internet, ...

Going green’s tie-in with infosec
If you've been following my blog and my principles for even a short period of time you've probably figured out that I pull no punches when it comes to personal responsibility and limited government. There's hardly anywhere I'm more passionate in this regard than the marketing smoke and mirrors of "Going Green" and the religion of "global warming". I should say "climate change"; that covers warming and cooling for the ...

An unintended consequence of fast food “going green”
I was just pondering the negative side-effects and unintended consequences of many of the fast food restaurants who are "going green" (I use that term loosely because it's so overused in the name of marketing). The thing is so many restaurants like Panera and Moe's as well as countless others I've visited in my travels this year have these flimsy plastic Solo (and other brand) cups that aren't worth a ...

Legalese in email footers is useless
Ever get annoyed by those email footers telling you what you can or cannot do with the email you just received? Yeah, me too. Here's an interesting bit from Consumer Reports that talks about how those legal disclaimers in email footers may be legally useless.It's funny, every time I see them (they're in about 60-70% of the non-spam emails I recieve) I think it's yet another representation of the American ...

Stop all Wi-Fi deployments!
A study in the Netherlands has found that Wi-Fi radiation will eventually result in the death of parts of tree leaves. Yep, take those access points and put them 20 inches from trees and let the killing being. Seriously!?Who's putting their access points that close to trees? Why are people even studying something like this? Apparently the "global warming" crowd is up to it again...I'm just glad those were Dutch ...

Swimming in Atlanta
We're getting completely drenched here in the South. Pouring rain nonstop for four days and it's not supposed to let up for another few days. Must be all that "global warming". Seriously we've been hearing about reduced sun spot activity as of late (just not so much in the mainstream media because that would go against their religion). Some scientists (likely the ones whose jobs aren't tied to taxpayer funding) ...

Magazines going “green” – law of unintended consequences??
If you've been following me for long you know that I'm no fan of the religion of "global warming". That said, I'm all for each person taking responsibility and doing the little things that add up to protect the environment. You should see our recycle bin at home - it's a 40 gallon bin that gets filled up within 4-5 days. Then we have to wait another week for the ...

Who needs life vests anyway?
Jazz Airlines (subsidiary of Air Canada) has removed life vests from their airplanes in the name of saving weight and fuel. So, increase the risk of your passengers at whatever cost...?? I'm sure the savings of 83 pounds per flight should more than outweigh any risk. Sounds like the typical risk management decisions being made in all too many businesses out there.I suspect we'll start seeing this kind of nonsense ...

Telecommuting OK for execs but not for staff?
I've been harping on this subject for a while. Why don't more managers let their employees telecommute? After all, it helps morale, can boost productivity, and even impresses those who buy in to the religion of "global warming".Then I came across this article citing evidence that apparently more in management are telecommuting themselves...The email I received this in had the headline "Joining the telecommute revolution". Everybody, quick! Jump on the ...

Don’t waste your money on a hybrid or ethanol automobile…
Telecommute!The politicians want us to burn more ethanol in our cars but it's a terrible idea. Ethanol not only burns 29% more fuel than it creates, using fossil fuels to create ethanol adds even more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Check out these very interesting facts about ethanol we don't hear about in the news.Anyway...back to working from home. I know, I know, many managers don't believe in telecommuting. They ...
