Won't somebody please think of the children!?

The other night I was at my local public library for the first time in probably 10 years. Now I've been in a library in the last decade, just not this one. And instead of describing the minutiae of my visit, I'm going to let this photo sum it up:

This is why I love living in Massachusetts. In other states, people were losing their minds that a movie poster had the word 'porno' in it. My local library has a copy on Blu-Ray (very high tech) that you can borrow for a buck a week.

*I modified the library name because I don't want to give anyone with an agenda some ammo. In fact, I'm sick of all these people who use protecting the children as their excuse to push their social agendas (Maine's voting down of gay marriage) and attempt to limit free speech. How about instead of trampling all over everyone's rights, why don't you be a responsible parent and educate your children about the real world out there that contains scary things like atheists, homosexuals, liberals, and S-E-X? They're going to learn about it sooner or later. So to borrow one of your favorite phrases...

PCI Security Awareness

The HR manager in my office walked around today handing out a postcard-sized memo regarding office security. Because of today's history, I've decided to share this valuable information with you. Below you will see a photograph of the memo and I will also provide a transcript.

The Importance of Maintaining a Clear Desk or Workspace
Maintaining a clear desk or workspace is important to help ensure sensitive information is not physically exposed when you are at your desk, when you leave your desk unattended during the day, or when you leave at night.

-Lock sensitive documents in a drawer or cabinet when not being used.
-Ensure all paper based information is securely disposed of (i.e. shredded).
-Do not write down passwords and display them for others to view.
-Always lock your computer when leaving your desk (Ctrl+Alt+Del then enter).
-Lock removable storage media away when not in use.
-Physically secure laptops to something immovable with a cable lock.
-Encrypt all sensitive information stored on laptops or removable storage media.
-Remove all information from meeting rooms when you leave.
-Collect documents from the printer as soon as they are printed.
-Always take valuables with you when you leave, or lock them away.

Or to summarize it up in eight words: Don't leave out shit you don't want stolen.

Take that you terrorist sons of bitches! USA! USA! USA!
