Sunday Status: Cyber Warfare and Some Less Interesting Updates

Global

In some earlier posts several months ago I discussed cyber warfare, something that just made big headlines. In tonight's 60 minutes, some interesting news has arisen. Apparently, Brazil has been attacked multiple times by cyber terrorists, and specialists say that America is a risk.

I have a hard time going without power for 3 hours, imagine what would happen if the entire west or east coast lost power for lord knows how long at a time. Fortunately, Obama is allocating more funds for cyber security, I hope that that's enough.

I've spent the week looking for a good web developer to help me redo the BW Science Labs website, but I haven't found anyone yet. In the meantime I've made some progress on Unity development, and I'm now comfortable with the scripting language. As always though, most of my time goes to school, which reminds me of a t shirt I saw labeled "Homework kills trees, stop the madness!". It would be fun to see the carbon footprint of one year of homework. I'll have to look into that.
