I know most of my readers probably don’t follow this kind of stuff, but basically earlier this week a pair of serious java exploits were released and then very quickly incorporated into some very easy-to-use and widely known hacker tools. The flaws affect Windows, Linux, and MacOS. None are safe. Via Krebs, Oracle has released… Read More »
Leonard Embody has lost yet another appeal regarding his detainment in a Nashville park. As it turns out, if you intentionally act suspicious in order to get the police called on you, you don’t get to complain that the police are called. There was a new tidbit I hadn’t heard before: A good part of… Read More »

By now, you’ve probably heard of the shooting at the Empire State Building this morning. Some may call this a mass shooting (hey, there were 11 shot, 2 of which died), but that’s not the real story.

That’s the sentence handed down to Hank Wise for the murder of Ben Goeser, the late husband of my friend Nikki Goeser. You can read her story through those links. 23 years doesn’t seem long enough, but I’m glad she no longer has this hanging over her head. The wait is always excruciating.
