#WhyI'mWithTMobile - Verizon Sucks

Verizon Readies 60-Day Phone Lock Policy We Outed Last Year (Updated) %u2013 Droid Life. In case you needed more proof that Verizon is a horrible mobile carrier, I give you this story which confirms that Verizon intends to SIM lock its phones for 60 days after purchase. The biggest load of crap is that they are trying to sell it as a way to "protect" their customers from theft. Hey, Verizon, if you are having that much trouble to keep from bleeding customers, how about charging reasonable prices, stop lying to users, and concentrate on customer service? While you're at it, you could return the $1,100 you overcharged me when I left. Jeez.

#ParrotSunday - A Boy And His Bird

If you do nothing else this weekend, please spend 10 minutes to watch this video. It is horrifying and heart warming at the same time. I can't imagine Savannah in this situation.

 

Mid-Nineties - Mitsubishi 3000 GT - Best Sports Car Ever

This little video is a great way to introduce my 1995 3000 GT, in which I have put a new engine, and totally restored everything from the muffler to the paint. Will it ever be worth the money I have in it? No. But money isn't the only way to happiness, is it?  Check out one of the coolest cars ever produced. Too bad Mitsubishi doesn't make sports cars anymore.

 

Computer Security For The Road Warrior Lawyer

8 Cyber Security Tips for Business Travelers. Lawyers sometimes have to travel for work. Whether you are going to another County in your State, or traveling to another State, modern technology allows you to be a lawyer wherever you are. Most lawyers these days have documents, software and other data stored in the Cloud, and many use cloud based computer applications for document creation, storage, filing and other uses. Most modern cloud based applications provide military grade security on their servers, and require two step authentication for access to the data. But, often, lawyers don't think about the data as it resides on their computers, and then travels in the clear to the destination. Encryption is a good way to secure data on its way. However, many lawyers, and others, use Public WiFi, when spoofing hotspots, and actual stealing of data over the Public WiFi, is common. Public WiFi hotspots are often unprotected. It is up to the user to secure the data as it travels. Use a phone as a hotspot. Bring a dedicated hotspot that connects to your carrier. Make sure your anti-virus is a good one, and gives real-time protection. Don't share your location online.Update your passwords. Use two step authentication. Be careful out there.

#PoetryFriday - When I Die

WHEN I DIE

When I die,
Don’t come looking for me.
Don’t look for me in the bushes
or in the grass.
I won’t be there.
Don’t look for me on a cruise ship
going nowhere.
I won’t be there.
Don’t look for me at my place of work
My working days are done.
I won’t be there.
Don’t look for me in your photographs
Two dimensional copies of the image of me.
I am not there.
Don’t look for me in your house.
I am not there.
Don’t look for me in the streets of the city
Blaring chaos all around.
I am not there.
Don’t look for me in Heaven or Hell
If I am there
You can’t find me yet.
Don’t look for me while you are living
You can’t find me yet.

If you really want to find me
Look into your heart and mind
Because I live there
forever.

What Do You Use Your Bixby Button For?

Samsung will extend Bixby button remapping to Galaxy S8, S9, and Note lines - The Verge. I love my Note 8 and my Note 9. Great phones. But, I use Google Assistant. I have no need for Samsung's competitor, Bixby. It is fine that Samsung includes it in its phones; but, having a physical button on the side of the phone that calls up an app I will never use seems ham handed at best. Bixby as a name for a search engine reminds me of Microsoft Bing, which I never used either. I even wrote a post once about the idiocy of hiring expensive persons to come up with such stupid names. So, the promise of a remapping option for the Bixby button sounds promising. In fact, it is as promising as requiring a button to get people to use your app sounds desperate.

#PoetryFriday - Less Is More - Are You Listening?

Less Is More.

The priests told him how to speak.
The priests told him what to say and not say.
The priests told him who to love.
The priests told him they knew what comes after.
The priests told him how to get to heaven.
The priests told him there was a heaven.
The priests told him there was a hell.

The priests didn’t tell him why God allows death.
The priests didn’t explain how they knew
what happens after Midnight.
The priests didn’t tell him that they were just humans also.

When he exited the church
The pundits told him what to believe.
The pundits told him who to elect.
The pundits told him what to say and not say.
The pundits told him they knew best.

The pundits didn’t tell him how they knew
what the truth was.
The pundits didn’t tell him that they were just humans also.

When he left the house
The billboards told him what to believe.
The billboards told him who to elect.
The billboards told him what to say and not say.
The billboards didn’t tell him
who paid for them
or that other human beings wrote them.

When he got out of the car
He saw the birds in the trees
and the animals on the ground
and the flowers and the bushes.
They didn’t speak words to him.
They spoke volumes.
