Challenging Online Riddle Game
Last year, someone at work discovered this game. The object is to get to the next level by figuring out the puzzle/riddle on the current page. For some reason, I was thinking about it the other day. I remembered parts of it, but I didn’t save the address. Well, yesterday I located it again! I figured that it might turn into an interesting blog post if people get involved in it.

Right now, I’m stuck on level 5. Let’s see how well you can do!
Introducing the New Super Cantenna
Yesterday, I was trying to find the best way for my mom to get a wireless signal on her back patio. I stumbled on the new “Super Cantenna”. I don’t think it’s the best thing for her, but I was very intrigued.
The Super Cantenna replaces an existing antenna on your wireless router providing a 30° directional signal as opposed to a 360° omni-directional signal. The result is a longer focused signal that reaches a greater distance.
You can also connect it directly to a laptop using a special PCMCIA card or a USB adapter. This would allow you to connect to wireless networks that you were unable to connect to before. I don’t know about you, but this gives me a great idea.
New Features
• Longer 3-foot cable: For added convenience, this low-loss cable will help you position your Super Cantenna even better.
• Dual tripod/pistol grip: This rugged stand keeps your Super Cantenna more stable than ever before. With rubberized non-slip legs.
• Universal mounting socket: Fits standard camera tripods or other mounting hardware such as outdoor speaker mounts.
• Weather-resistant coating: More scratch and ding resistant. And a new color!
Why is your Super Cantenna better than a Pringles can?
Our engineers have optimized can dimensions, shielding, and polarization for maximum signal strength and distance. We use only high-quality and lab-tested materials to manufacture the outer shell and inner parts. Unfortunately, ours doesn’t come with potato chips…
If you’re interested in testing the new Super Cantenna, you can pick one up for $39.99 on their website.
Windows 7 Release Candidate
Microsoft is offering a free download of Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC). This RC will expire on June 1, 2010. However, starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours, effectively making it unusable.
Notes: While a release candidate is considered a more stable version than a “Beta”, this software should be used with caution. You need to use Internet Explorer to download it.

Hire Your Own Personal Hacker
I saw an ad for this company today and I just had to see what was going on. It seems that if you are having problems with hackers online, you can hire your own hacker for retaliation. This is like a small kid getting bullied and hiring a bigger kid to beat up the bully. I wonder if this is even legal? It’s a good idea either way though.
“The rise of the internet has brought with it many threats, including viruses, malware, worms, and hackers. Many companies believe that they understand the nature of the risk and that their information security systems are up-to-date and up to par. The reality is that the threats are no longer created by thrill-seeking teenagers with too much free time; instead, these threats are becoming increasingly malevolent, created by organized cyber-criminals motivated only by money.”

Farm Town is ruining my life!
One of my friends on Facebook (and in real life) had been telling me about this application called Farm Town that he’s been playing for awhile. I kept putting it off, but the inevitable happened on Thursday morning. I installed the Farm Town application and ever since then, that’s all I can do! I keep checking on my crops and rearranging items in my farm. It’s a pointless waste of my time, but it’s so fun!
If you haven’t installed Farm Town yet, DON’T DO IT! …unless you want to be an addict!
Seriously though, it is a lot of fun especially if you have a bunch of friends that play too. It will get old though just like all the other Facebook apps that I’ve done in the past.
Here’s my farm:
