[TheForge] Jesse James and Uri Hofi

[Saint Phlip]

Like I said ;-) Or do you not know what a dweeb Bobby Flay is?

(FWIW, Flay is purported to be a chef, and I think _I_, who am by no
means a chef, could out cook him. Once Flay gets beyond a three-plop
meal (starch, veggie, and protein) in an iron skillet for
"creativity", with some hot peppers involved, he's utterly done.)

The talent both of them seem to have is convincing producers to spend
money on them. I've seen far more talent shown by other motorcycle
enthusiasts and cooks than I've ever seen in anything either of those
two have done. Yeah, I went looking for some of James' bikes on line.
OK, but nothing I'd want to spend any serious money on.

So, you think your data is safe?
http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/01/23/schneier.google.hacking/index.html?hpt=T2

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Priorities:

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.

notices I have read with pleasure. -Clarence Darrow
