Tricia:She is four, I just finished cutting her finger nails. She looks at them, holds them up and says–what about my cuticals?

The sword of Damocles is haning over my head. I didn’t even install any new hardware in my wife’s computer but Windows is insisting that I have instlle new hardware and must register and activate the damn thing with Msft.

As I promised, here is a tune by CSN, oh, I posted an mp3. Yikes. The song is sung and composed by Graham Nash, it is about being asleep.

I was listening to Talk of the Nation on National Public Radio this
afternoon. There was a good discussion going on sparked by the fiasco that
happened at HP the last few weeks. Since I cover lexicon, identity, and
security, I thought it would be a good idea to cover some of the
conversation.
What has emerged new to the [...]

I have been fiddling with and blogging about CardSpace for two years. It is
finally starting to emerge. One of my readers recently commented.

Hey Craig,
Regarding support for Card Space on Firefox:

While it’s still only a proof of concept, Chuck Mortimore has implemented a Card
