Out of the Blue

How can this be? Today is Wilford Brimley's birthday, and the actor turns 77. If you asked me to guess, I would have said he was almost that old in The Thing, which came out in 1982.

I always use one of the URL shortening services.

I'll rarely click on those. From you, sure, but generally on a messageboard I avoid them. If they took me to a page that showed me the URL I was being redirected to I'd be fine, but when it's just a redirect it's more a tool for spammers and malware distributors than anything else.
I just got back from a week of security training for application developers. 9-6 all week PLUS Saturday and Sunday.

All I can say is be afraid. Be very afraid ...

Yup, those shortened links are the devil. It baffles me that people prefer them to something that lets you see the direct link. Guess we have twitter to blame for popularizing them.

I'm not going to some domain blind.
