Lost in Winnipeg…
I’m sitting downstairs here at the Viscount Gort fighting with people in their tweens, teens and twenties for computer time – go figure. I think they are starting to think that I’m some middle aged cyber stalker on the prowl. My dress code, or lack there of (fashion faux pas), aides them in this thought process: I look like the “Mad Trapper” – an Albert Johnson incarnate.
Anyhoo: Three items to report:
1. Passport Security Breach: It seems that when applying for his passport online, a gentleman out east, was able to access the files of other applicants simply by changing the last letter in the url address. The site has since been shut down for immediate correction by officials duly concerned.
2. Facebook Suicide: It seems that a parent and two teenage children started a false account by the name of “Josh”. Well “Josh” went on to have online relationship with a thirteen year old girl who committed suicide when he terminated the relationship. It has been stated thus far that it is unlikely that the online creators of “Josh” will be charged because “Josh” (technically) doesn’t exist.
Note: Both of the above stories were on our national news broadcasts over this past while so I perceive them to be true.
3. Greenprint: a product to be purchased to save yourself ink and paper during the printing process. It operates by preventing the useless printing of those blank pages we all use for airplanes after the job has been done and the water cooler is empty.
PS: I am still working on my paper: a thousand words and counting.
