G-TOWN BABY!

Looking at Tim Harrington's blog, and concentrating on his very first blog where he proclaimed UCLA Bruins would be 2007 NCAA Champions, I would just like to say that I pulling for the Bruins as well. Let me rephrase that however, because I am routing for them to get to the championship purely for points sake in my pool on CBS Sportsline, in the end though just like I have predicting in my pool we will see the Hoyas prevail in the Championship against Tim's very own, beloved Bruins! Go get 'em G-TOWN BAAAAABAAAAY!

Facebook Article

In a recent article from Scobleizer- Geek Blog, the author spoke of how facebook came about hiring their new head of security at facebook. Apparently this computer wiz had the audacity to hack into facebook, corrupting the system. Facebook was so impressed that they then hired this "hacker" to fix the problems and then head up secuirty for the site. Seems very strange and unconventional that they would hire this type of criminal to head up a department for thei website, but I guess I assume that in order to be the best you had to have the best, and facebook seemed to find one of the best hackers in the market to protect them from later hacker/virus strikes. Looking at the posts for this article it seems to be that other hi-tech corporations are doing things along the same line to to find individuals that can crack their codes, to then make them stronger in the end, however it is not the profession for everyone and should be thought out carefully because people have been thrown into jail for trying to "find" employment the exact same way.

Wiki Bristol Edit

I most recently added some information on the wikipedia page of my hometown of Bristol, CT. There in Bristol, every August the Northeast Regional Little League Tournament is held at a local little league. However, the name was not available, so I added the name of the Little League where the tournament is held, "The A. Bartlett Giamatti Little League Center." From there I also removed some pictures in the gallery that were not appearing as anything more then a blank black image. I hope to eventually get some more images up on the gallery to really show the great features of my hometown, but thats for another edit entirely.Bristol,CT Edit

Google Phone?

Looking at John Battelle's Searchblog, one of the required class blogs, I discovered an article speaking of a GOOGLE PHONE? Google and Samsung have been rumored to team up together to create a phone with the nickname "Switch" that will create mobile versions of Goggle search, Google map, and GMail. This seems a little crazy to be honest though. With the constant hype about the new phone to be introduced by Apple, the iTalk, in late June 2008, it seems that the Google Phone may be looking at a early flop. With everyone so excited about the Apple Phone before it is even released, due to the fact that Apple has produced so many reliable products before, it seems to be a project with Google that may be an immediate failure.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

After class when we spoke of "Vanity Searches" where you search for yourself on Google, and I made the comment of doin such a thing in my previous class, where I then preceded to perhaps insult my main man Professor Brown with my comments about the professors from the other class :-) Sorry for that by the way big guy your the BEST and I too love Barbaro. Anyways back to the vanity serach, looking at Google the same results came up as before, a Dr. Stephen Ward Associate Professor of Journalism Ethics as well as many more, it was not until later pages that I found some articles on myself for high school sports from my hometown newspaper. Going to individual sites and searching myself though did create more buzz such as "Webshots" where I came across some pictures of both myself and my brother, who goes to Northeastern University, that I have never seen before. With everyone now having their own homepages and profiles on both Myspace and Facebook it should be easy to find yourself on a simple search on Google...so I advise everyone to do so and see what develops from a simple google action...Enjoy
