Alton Brown's Nose
Celebrity chef Alton Brown meets fans at the 2nd annual gumbo cook-off on Dauphin Island
Naw, that's not really his nose, but is a screenshot of a video from a link I followed on "Alton Brown for President" on Facebook. I just thought it really funny...and bet he would, too. Here's the video link:

The Bird is the Word
You Are a Crow |
You are highly intelligent and have a lot of mental strength. You value self-reliance, and you work hard every day to improve your life. You believe that life is magical, and you are always looking for new and exciting opportunities. You follow your own path, and the turns you take are often unexpected and inspired. |
Can't have this quiz or the title w/out this video!

A Little Concerned
Opened up my GMail acct. early this morning and found the spam folder more full than usual. I didn't save any of the msgs. but a large number were both to and from the acct. along with "bounced" emails with the CC containing every address in my addy book and even more that I have no idea where they came from (such as old ones I never use, some created for MSN Groups, such as 4R Mgrs and Smiliemail)
Checking the details of account activity, I saw that someone in Spain had accessed my account. I immediately changed the password and had it sign out of all other accounts. Here's the IP number:
217.130.138.68
Checking on the IP# at an online IP Lookup site, it gave the originating domain, but clicking on the link gave me a "page not found".
I hope none of my friends w/ valid email accounts will be affected. I have no idea how my account was compromised - I keep my Firefox browser up-to-date, as well as the Java, Flash and Shockwave apps updated.
Again, if you get spam from "me" or any other accounts that were in my address book, I'm really sorry. I'm always extremely careful about my online security.

confute
confute \ con·fute\ [kuhn-fyoot] –verb (used with object), -fut·ed, -fut·ing.
1. to prove to be false, invalid, or defective; disprove: to confute an argument.
2. to prove (a person) to be wrong by argument or proof: to confute one's opponent.
3. Obsolete . to bring to naught; confound.
When I first read this word and definition, I thought it was very similar to "refute" and after looking it up, found I was right.
Can't confute OR refute me on that.
