"About bloody time" I hear you mutter in tepid indifference. So here it is - my first blog entry. The
work that will, over time, fall unceremoniously like obese toddlers
utop of this post, will be a mixed-bag of bored scrawlings and little
ideas that didn't make me a million pounds, with some nice type or the
odd illustration here and there. Hell, I may even stick the odd photo
up. I can do whatever I like - it's social media innit.

You worry, too? Thanks Mozilla

Privacy. Security. Safety.

When we started tackling these issues earlier this year, the realization hit: we’re fighting for better online privacy and security all wrong. We’ve been spending our time telling people to install VPNs and use TOR and be worried about the future of IoT. Then we did a survey and found most people don’t know what these things are.

READ THE GUIDE

Because right now, raising awareness is important. Soon, demanding change will be even more important. Stay tuned for that.

Thank you,
The Team at Mozilla

Virtual private network

A virtual private network extends a private network across a public network, and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. Applications running across the VPN may therefore benefit from the functionality, security, and management of the private network.

and you?

curious?

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science has a curious film archive that is largely unknown:

The bulk of the film archive consists of documentaries made by former museum director Alfred Bailey, who led the institution from 1933 to 1969.
“He really changed the museum,” says O’Connell, who describes him as “a field man,” traveling to six continents on numerous expeditions. “He went to the most out-of-the-way, most difficult places you can imagine, and somehow he always took a movie camera and a tripod with him.”

The Incredible Oyster Reef

Much as coral reefs help protect many tropical islands from hurricanes, oysters protected New York City. They broke up large waves before they could crash onto the shore. And below the surface, their rough texture would increase friction and slow down the water.
