Best 'Image of the Internet' I Ever Saw

(via BrandPowder.com)

Facebook & Twitter, the websites you visit, they’re floating at the top like Google.

Were you surprised at how large the Deep Web is?

It’s also know as: the Invisible Web, the Hidden web, the Deepnet, or the Undernet.

You’ll likely never visit there. The majority is publicly accessible, but not using your browser.

Surfing the Deep Web looks like this.

(NOTE: that’s just some Linux, not the actual Deep Web. Just wanted to give you a graphical example of how cruising the Deep Web is non-graphical)

Remember when that ‘User Based Billing’ incident happened in February ’11? And I made that rant-y video? Fast forward to 0:37, I’m talking about the Deep Web there.

Change Your Yahoo Password Right Now

Yahoo! had a major security breach yesterday.  

An estimated 450,000 passwords were stolen.  

The passwords were stored on Yahoo!’s servers in plaintext, meaning, not encrypted, could have been kept safer.  Expect Yahoo! to take some heat for that, which is good, because doing that is dumb.

Some outlets are reporting 100,000+ Gmail, 50,000+ Hotmail accounts, and more were part of the stolen data.  Others are saying the accounts are old, only 5% are in use.

Sucuri Labs has created a way to check if your email was affected, click here.

I recommend you change your password regardless;

it’s doubtful we’re getting the whole story.

Remember too, Flickr and Yahoo are the same thing.

A New Week Starts Now

Pretty matter-of-fact blog post titles lately, huh.

I walk a lot.

Fresh air and exercise, no destination just wandering, off my phone, follow my heart around corners, sometimes day dreamy.

Like here.

—-> I imagine how I’d best get to the roof
* – I’m not alone – that plywood is someone’s security measure

Re-discovered Bulk Barn on Saturday.

Not scared of that.

Doesn’t it look like I photoshopped in my boots?

Now if ever I have to submit a photo of my plain face, I’ll come grab this one.  Efficiency yes!

Sunday cleaning.  Obviously.

Half the reason I declare that online each week is to remind myself one week of time has passed.

Time.  Goes.  Too.  Fast.

During cleaning I unpacked this.

You know that item of clothing you have, a pair of jeans or a dress?  That one you use to measure your weight and size, you keep even if they don’t fit, because they don’t fit. That’s this dress.

Hadn’t seen it in 9 months. Last summer the pleat in the front was splayed open and the zipper, oh.

Deep breath.

YA BUDDY. Here I am showing you it’s loose, AT THAT.

You stop eating McDonald’s all the time, and things can happen. It was a bit out of hand for a while there guys.  It’s just so fast and delicious.

Have a great Monday, and start to your week!

It’s Car Swap Day, TTY on Twitter from the road.
