- When I was in Korea last month, I discovered soju. Here are some links
describing it:
- Korea Insights: Soju
- Jinro Chamjinisulro Soju is the kind I brought back from Korea. The cost was 1000 Won per bottle, which translated to about 90 cents. After seeing the next link, I kinda wish I'd bought a case.
- Jinro: CA law treats soju as beer and wine
- Blacks, Whites, and Blues talks about Dave 'Snaker' Ray. I find it hard to believe that I haven't mentioned him in Dave's Picks before, but that seems to be the case. Sorry for the omission. My bad.
- Laser surgery may ruin eyes. I'd thought about the Lasik surgery (heck, I thought about PRK surgery) to fix my eyes, but it looks like waiting a bit longer probably isn't a bad idea.
- A Data Sanctuary is Born and Ex-army major offers dotcom sanctuary: HavenCo is being started on The Principality of Sealand (which is 10 by 25 yards in size). Dan Gillmor weighs in with Data haven may be step in right direction. I wonder what their security measures are.
- Counterpane Internet Security, Inc. has changed names and directions.
They're not selling technology anymore, but rather process. They
have a White Paper on Managed Security Monitoring that
explains the new direction. The point is that we have enough products
to be pretty secure today, but few companies have the process in
place to ensure security. Process is hard to get right.
One of the things Counterpane still offers for free is Bruce Schneier's Crypto-Gram Newsletter which is good enough reading that while I may not read it as soon as I get it, I never fail to read an issue. - On a lighter note, here are a few links with descriptive enough titles that I feel no need to comment further. The first two came from Zannah and the last is from Susan:
