With paws made for digging and ears that will hear a food container being opened miles away, things at the Meister House should be even more interesting once the little girl gets here.
Boston.com is currently running a story about Tom McHale, who saved the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority an estimated $126,000 this year using the type of hairnet worn by restaurant workers as a means to prevent snow from creating costly repairs on the MBTA’s train engines.
As the old saw goes, sometimes the best solutions are the simple (and cheap) ones.
The architecture website Archibase.net has a great series of photographs from an abandoned underground nuclear submarine base in Balaklava, Russia.
Aviran’s Place has an entry up talking about the results of a spyware quiz created by antivirus maker McAfee.
According to the results of the quiz, nearly 65% of all quiz takers would have been infected by spyware and adware had the tests been real. And even those who did better at correctly identifying potential spyware were still likely to visit a potentially dangerous website within thirty days.
Take the SiteAdvisor Spyware Quiz yourself and see how well you’d fare. And don’t forget to look into an antispyware program such as Webroot’s Spysweeper.
