Going through my pictures from RSA I found a couple of amusing moments from the conference. Here is a candid moment with Mike Rothman and Alex Hutton. I ran into them in mid-autograph session with Mike signing Alex’s
…um
…yeah

And I did have a chance to spot Jack Daniel when I was wandering along Ellis Street.

And of course the real star of the show when the exhibition floor opened for business on Tuesday evening…

Mmmm.
A little off topic. Need a good chuckle?
Head over to Google and type “Where can I find Chuck Norris?” Then click on the “I’m feeling lucky” button.

Good for a laugh.
Watch the guy in the background that lines up with the talking head’s right ear. I wonder if that guy got sacked. Note to the readership, surfing porn at work, while it may seem like fun at the time, is an epic bad idea. Just saying.

There are some times where you just get that sinking feeling that security is getting paid lip service.
And badly at that.
Thx to Tadd for sharing that one.
Enjoy!

You can almost hear the pre-pubescent giggles of Aston Kutcher from a nearby spot as he films a new episode of Punk’d. Well, not exactly in this case. This past Thursday a “Zombie Attack” disaster recovery plan was found on the University of Florida’s website.
From the NY Times:
The University of Florida’s response plans for a zombie apocalypse are no longer available for public consumption.
UF spokesman Steve Orlando said Friday the university removed a link to a disaster recovery exercise, which detailed how the school could respond to an outbreak of the undead. The link was taken down late Thursday afternoon.
Orlando says officials felt the joke ”didn’t really belong” on the site, which also included plans for dealing with hurricanes and pandemics.
Well, the goofiness may not have belonged on their site. We certainly believe that it belongs on ours.
You can find a copy of the zombie response here. (.pdf)
Enjoy!

As noticed by one of our loyal readers – thanks ax0n!
Yes, the ad server puts up all kinds of ads, up to and including full flash ads. And we LOVE our advertisers.
And yes, we hope y’all are enjoying the schadenfreude of the situation.
I’m down to counting HOURS until departure for Blackhat / SecurityBSides / Neighborcon / DEFCON / ZOMG!VEGAS!!!!1!!!
Hope to see you all there – note that there is a ton of LSD shwag this year, so it would be good to memorize the faces on the About page.

During an interview on Fox News this morning Chris Paget was given “credit” for creating the RFID chip in passports. He was amused to say the least.
From his Twitter feed:
LOL apparently I created the RFID chip in passports? http://www.tombom.co.uk/foxfail.jpg – fail

Gotta love it when fact checkers go out for coffee.
Still, funny as hell and congrats to Chris!

Sarah Palin resigned providing for an inadvertent early holiday present. Now, as she goes off in search of a speech writer (she REALLY needs one), we would like to wish a very happy July 4th to our American cousins from all of us at Liquidmatrix Security Digest (well, the Canadian part of the gang).
Enjoy!
Hmm. Wondering if there is an impending scandal about to break in the Palin camp.
The mayor of Boston’s office put out some tips for staying safe online. The second to last bullet gave me a good chuckle.

Ah, the joys of the copy & paste. Now, I have to find a low, flat location.
Here is the screencap. Just in case it gets, um, updated.
