My Lasik Surgery Is a Success

Well, my surgery was an incredible success! I'm seeing better than I ever did with contacts, and every day now my vision is clearing up after the surgery (there was/is some expected haziness and "glow" around lights that is fading).

I'm Getting My Eyes Fixed

I'm going in for Lasik surgery this afternoon. I'm excited about it. Piedmont Better Vision in Atlanta is performing the work. Wish me luck.

Worthy of Note if You Need a Free Firewall

So, recently I reviewed PC Tools Firewall Plus 5.0 for Windows. I'm mentioning it here because I found someone yesterday who had a less effective firewall on her PC on a trial basis, and was going to need to update both because the trial was running out, and because I informed her that somehow she had still managed to become infected with some sort of spyware or malware despite the AV and firewall software she did have installed. I wasn't impressed much in the past with PC Tools' firewall offerings, but I like this one a bit better. Since I've been around the field so long, I'm jaded and expect firewalls to be incredibly feature rich, but when I consider the needs and abilities of the average user I realize they can't really be expected to understand and configure them.

The Confirmation of Sotomayor Begins

If the confirmation hearing is anything like the infamous Clarence Thomas episode...oh, wait; surely it won't be anything like that. Or will it? Well, the parties are on different sides. Here is an opportunity for us to see how each party conducts itself when the tables are turned. Which party will take the high road, and which the low road? Or will both rake muck, or will they stick to their supposed principles?
You can probably guess what I think.
