The last time I got biblical with this weblog it caused a great deal of confusion, traffic and angst. In other words a whole lot of fun.

It’s not often that I get to write about two of my favorite yet unrelated things in a single blog entry. In this serendipitous case the two things are Major League Baseball and E-discovery. Or more specifically a ruling about the discovery in the infamous steroids use by MLB players investigation. This entry in the [...]

If you are a follower of Security For All you are no doubt aware that the majority of post topics are related to data security, online privacy and protection of personal information.

Number 2 with a bullet on the First Annual Security For All Hit List was a surprise [to me anyway]. This post on March 16, 2009 titled Using public Wi-Fi safely was a review/amplification of this article by Rich Vázquez. So I came up with this great idea that I would do another review/amplification on [...]

By a fairly large margin the most popular and contentious post in the first year of Security For All [if you discount one entitled Prophecy for 2009 which got tons of hits I suspect by mistake due to the clever title] was the September 24, 2008 post entitled I so want to be a Forrester analyst [...]
