So like most of the country is has been unusually cold here in Florida, granted most people would still take our weather over what they are having but for us its just cold. Highs over this weekend were in the 50’s during the day and one night we had almost 11 hours of freezing. Its amazing how quick a night of freezing temps can kill just about all of your tropical plants and brown your lawn. Lets hope it warms soon.
This is what I woke up to this weekend. Plenty of frost.
Oh and this photo was taken with my new camcorder, a Canon HV10.

For those that use PayPal often this should be a must have. Protect your information, many people now have credit and banking information listed in their PayPal accounts. Make sure other people cannot access your account.
I have and use similar tokens on a daily basis for work. They make a great addition to security and make it almost impossible to get hacked and best of all its a very simple step to take.
Add an extra level of security when you log in with the PayPal Security Key.
[UPDATE] Mine is on the way and best of all its FREE!

I really like the stuff that Chris Pirillo does and have enjoyed his blog and his earlier TechTV stuff. I think this is a great idea and has alot of potential, however I think it does have some drawbacks.
What I am finding more interesting are the comments that are posted on YouTube about this video. Man they really say alot. Some are interesting and offer some good advise or criticism and some are just plain stupid from some really ignorant people. I vote the for the comments.
I used to host a show on the now-defunct TechTV television network - so maybe it’s time we take the same concept online? Submit your questions by video feedback and I’ll take ‘em on.

I have not really seen or even heard of many problems using Gmail and getting blocked, however with the way its become so popular and the way schools and work places are restricting access I guess this will provide some good tips incase you find yourself blocked.
I am sure glad I don’t work for “the man” anymore. The author of this article does make one GREAT statement that I cannot agree with more, “I don’t understand why Gmail gets blocked at work. I think it is much better that people are having their personal conversations using iluvkfed69@gmail.com instead of representing the company with every list of jokes, funny images, or comical videos they forward.” Very well said!
Don’t let “the man” keep you from your Gmail account! Here are some clever ways to get Gmail access without any programming or security knowledge. Some clever hacks to check out.
