It’s Friday and that can only mean one thing.  It’s time to share a link!  Ok, it can mean other things, but your “good” ideas should be reserved for Saturday.  However, I would love to see the GoPro video afterwards…  😉

In our everyday lives, the need for security is omnipresent.  We hear about it our discussions with friends (well, my friends…) and in the news.  Have you ever wondered what RSA means in your SecureID token or what cryptography is and does?  There is good story behind it, that you can read about either on Wikipedia or in a book, aptly called Crypto, by Steven Levy, that makes it a little more dramatic.  Another good book about cryptography is The Code Book, by Simon Singh.   Mr. Singh makes these really complicated subjects easier to understand and makes them more exciting at the same time. J  Or, if you are feeling adventurous, you could create your own Cryptocurrency!

In other news, responding to spammers can be quite entertaining.  This TED Talk is definitely worth 10 minutes.  I ROFLed and LOLed quite a bit at it.  J

Have a great weekend ahead!!

PS: I realize it’s Tuesday, but time got away from me and Friday is really a state of mind, kind of like no pants.  🙂
