The anit-flashmob crusade has begun! I always thought flash mobs were sorta cool in a "weird but fun" way, but at the same time it can only be cool for so long before it just gets stupid (and some would argue it was always stupid).

And speaking of stupid, the governor's race in California is growing wackier by the day. Now with 115 certified canidates with a potential of up to 247, it makes national news when they select the alphabetical order of all the canidates. Heck for $3,500 and a scant 65 signatures, it would be almost worth it just to say you ran for governor of California but lost. Something to tell the grandkids at least. I mean really, 65 signatures? They should make it a few thousand at least.

If you're running XP or 2000, and you get a message that the computer will reboot in 60 seconds, you've got the latest and greatest Windows worm. On the other hand, this hole has been known since mid-July and was heavily publicized, so it's sort of your own fault if you get it. Check Windows Update every other day if you don't have it on automatic update. It'll save you a ton of headaches later on.
