I drove up to Tahoe the other night to hang out with Christopher. Last night was spent drinking beer and hacking on a side project we have been working on together. More about that in later posts…

But right now, we are headed out to spend some time on the slopes. Snow has been coming down pretty steadily all morning, so we should be able to get in some good turns.

Now playing: Tom Waits – Chocolate Jesus

…try to book flights through Pittsburgh (PIT)!

For some reason FREE wifi always puts a smile on my face, or maybe it’s due the fact that I’ve only had 2 or 3 hours of rest. Either way this should make the 2:30 hour layover fly by…

[of course the pun is intended, it is 6AM EST after all!]

Well MS NBC did a story on MailFrontier’s Phishing Index yesterday.

Phishing emails are those fraud email you get from time to time which looks to be coming from PayPal or Wells Fargo, but actually are linked to some server in Korea or the Philippines. The email typically request you to update your account info, SSN, credit card info, anything they can use to steal your money and identity.

Well at MailFrontier we detect fraud and filter out the phishing email so your grandmother doesn’t make a huge mistake and give away her life savings to some punk overseas.

You would be surprised how hard it is to detect legitimate email and the fraudulent one. Take the test for yourself. [link]

UPDATE:

Well you may have trouble getting to the survey or our site right now, because Slashdot has picked up the story and the traffic is slamming the provider who is hosting the survey.
