Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Watched the fight on Saturday night, and was so surprised to learn this:
The second largest ever was this one in Sweden, 30,000 people.
That’s a massive difference between 1st and 2nd, and interesting it was us Canadians who are so into it EH.
Twice a year Canadian Tire takes over an empty space, and transforms it into a place that’s filled with the the next season’s trends. Last summer they took over a house in suburbia, and morphed it into Christmas time.
Here’s what’s coming for us this summer season.
The patterns of summer 2015 are oversized florals, watercolour patterns and bold stripes, all in brighter colours than have previously been en vogue.
Impatiens are the most purchased flower in North America. Canadian Tire designed a tougher type, the Bounce Impatient, which is supposedly extra hearty.
I’m just going to cover my entire property in this – an all-in-one flower solution: seeds + fertilizer + coir #easy
Sprinkle around, flowers bloom at different times, and the coir changes colour when it’s time to water.
If I put this rule here, I won’t keep forgetting it:
Perennial – plant comes up each year, over and over
Annual – plant each year because 1 seed = 1 year
A quick swing break during the kids area, because zero interest there.
Boosting your own cell signal will be a trend.
And there’s a new in-house line of products you’ll start seeing on their shelves: FRANK.
Kind’ve like the Presidents Choice of Canadian Tire.
And if you’re at the Etobicoke, ON store, enquire about being driven in the Canadian Tire limo.

This is a 2015 McLaren 650S Spider
In my dream though, I’m happy with any McLaren model.
So many new blog headers.
This model has ready… $100,000 IN OPTIONS.
Mine would have the least features, in fact, I’d pay more to have things deleted.
And not covered in carbon fiber.
I like them best because they’re subtle.
Ferrari is so flash, Lambo too, this is more understated.
Engine Specs
A twin turbo V8 outputting 641 hp and 500 lb.ft.
7-speed automatic
Top speed – 333 km/h
0 – 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds
Phft.
Below is one of my best pics in a while.
Take a common password – 8 characters in length, composed of 1 word, 1 numbers and 1 punctuation mark:
Using a script (a program that automatically executes tasks instead of a human), the script starts to guess all possible 8-character password combinations. This will take about 3 days.
This is a brute force attack – very little elegance, just plain old grinding it out.
Using a dictionary attack, again the attacker runs a script, but this time instead of random guessing, dictionaries of words are tried first, specifically, the most common password words are tried.
Choose 3 obscure words, string them into a sentence separated by punctuation and numbers.

Kind’ve clever eh: a real-sounding URL, “Support for Apple”, and a toll-free number, how nice for someone else to foot the bill.
Pop-up window appears > you call the number > whomever answers is skilled with words > you’re tricked (social engineered) into doing something stupid, like providing a password or downloading a malicious file.
Never call. This will never happen.
