Scott, a member of the Tallahassee Scooter Club, shot a short video at the end of our ride Saturday. This video starts and ends with my Scooter. (You even get a short sight of me at the very end.)

I know, I know... It's been a while.

I will try (again) to get back into the habit of posting more often.

New things.....

In may I bought a Suzuki Burgman 650 (Scooter/Motorcycle). This is now my means of daily transportation. My 2000 Dodge Intrepid is still dead in the driveway... I need to take a few pics of my new ride and post them... If you are at all interested in Suzuki Burgmans the absolute best place to go for information is the forums at www.burgmanusa.com.

In June I hooked up with a Scooter riding group in Tallahassee for group rides. I haven't posted on the blog yet but I have been posting in the Yahoo Group associated with the group. I plan on updating my blog to have links to these two locations in the future. Our rides have been very fun. My wife even rode on the back of my scooter for our ride today!

A few weeks ago I upgraded my phone from the aging PPC6601 to the brand new, not even in stores yet, Sprint Mogul (aka PPC6800). This was a big jump for me. PPC6601 was running PocketPC Phone Ed 2003. The Mogul is running the latest and greatest Windows Mobile 6. So far the new phone has been awesome and Sprint's EVDO fast!

My family and I are are renting a car and driving out west in a week. Arizona and Nevada to visit family more than to see sites. We are going to do this trip for two weeks. That reminds me I need to buy a larger memory card for my camera!!! I plan on taking a LOT of pictures!

Vista speech-recognition exploit...

Microsoft confirmed
the vulnerability on Wednesday -- a day after the consumer launch of the new
operating system -- when security researchers began offering details on how
pranksters could exploit the speech technology. A malicious Web site, for
example, could load an audio file that shouts commands to shut down the
operating system without the user's authorization.

According to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), a microphone would
have to be installed and the speakers turned on for malicious users to take
advantage of the weakness. "The exploit scenario would involve the
speech-recognition feature picking up commands [from the speaker] through the
microphone such as 'copy,' 'delete,' shutdown,' etc. and acting on them," Adrian
Stone, MSRC program manager, wrote in an MSRC blog post.

Ahh no problem its not like I have speakers and a microphone connected to.... EVERY PC I OWN AND/OR WORK ON!
