For now, I’m just going to post some quick comments for I fear I won’t get back to this list soon.

• iFolder – is an Open Source project that allows you to sync, backup and share files across a network or the internet and access or manage your files anywhere and any time. I haven’t had a chance to try this yet but I hope to. I am currently using Microsoft’s Live Sync to do a similar thing and would much prefer an open source solution if it’s adequate for my needs.
• Russell Dunham, a WWII Medal of Honor recipient, died this week. He was 89. You should read Sgt. Dunham’s complete citation.
• Pirates attacked an American flagged ship this week. A small group of pirates boarded and took control of Maersk Alabama freighter. The crew was able to re-take control of the vessel but the ships captain was taken hostage. And is still be held. The U.S. Navy is now on the scene and we await a conclusion to this hostage situation. I wish the Obama Administration would stop saying they are exploring options and start saying that all means at our disposal will be used to recover the captain of the Alabama. “Cry havoc”, and let the United States Navy and Marines deal with these people. France seems to be willing. This story is still developing. Look for updated info.
• Vanessa Van Petten has a bunch of links at Radical Parenting that I want to read through. If you are not following the topics that Vanessa is writing about then you should be.
• The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on the Obama Administration’s warrentless wiretaps. I thought the Bush Administration was evil in this regard? Hope and change just doesn’t seem to mean what I thought it meant.
• I wrote a week ago about Federalization of Cybersecurity. Yesterday, the EFF had an article on this matter and how bad it is. I’m embarassed that one of my Senators, Olympia Snowe, is involved in this stupidity.

So there are a few of the things I found interesting this week. Some of them I look forward to exploring more. Happy Easter everyone! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
