Detecting WiFi Signal Strength

LifeHacker had a call for help for "WiFi Signal Strength Tool?", so that got me to looking for PC software. NetStumbler and PCTel Roaming Client were mentioned in the LifeHacker call for help, but I needed to know what else was out there. A buddy and I were talking and he pointed me to SecTools.org which has a plethora of network security tools. I am also a fan of GRC's ShieldsUp and Angry IP Scanner to look for vulnerabilities within your own network. I do not condone any of these utilities for hacking!

I can quit anytime I want.

LifeDev.net has a blog entry titled "The 5 Day PM Computer Fast: Why I Got More Done In Less Time." I am addicted to blogging, email, chat, videos, school work, etc. To cut off my computer usage in the evenings would be crazy talk.

Buttered Toast + Cat = Antigravity

Timeless paradox...

"Cats always land on their feet.

Buttered toast always lands buttered-side-down.

The paradox arises when one considers a cat with a piece of buttered toast attached to its back. In that configuration, the cat would be unable to land on its feet without the toast landing buttered-side-up, and the toast would be unable to land buttered-side-down without the cat landing on its back."

You've Changed

IMHO, I am not totally sure I am on board with the article "Five Great Comedians Who've Lost It". I do agree that the comedians listed have changed their comedy style, but I think when a comedian first starts out to when they have truly made it in Hollywood, then sure there is going to be change. When a comedian first starts out, they are willing to do anything to make it. Once a comedian has established themselves, then they are able to pick and choose what they want to do based upon family, friends, personal reflection, etc. I think all of the comedians listed are still really funny, but they have chosen paths that have taken them from their roots.

Kids and Icebergs

I was just talking to a buddy of mine yesterday about kids and toys and he said that he had just built his children a 2 story clubhouse. Well he better get to digging if he wants to build a pool big enough to encompass this inflatable iceberg. I think an Olympic size pool would do. ;-)
