jungle disk plus amazon's s3 account equals easy, reliable, cheap online backup. amazon's s3 service provides unliited storage for a megar fifteen cents a month. even if you were to backup twenty gb it would only cost you #3.40 a month. there is only one flaw to this setup, amazon provides no user interface for this system. it was designed for developers who would already have an interface or could very easily make one. so how do the rest of us get to enjoy this service?

jonathan coulton, excellent independent musician, writes some very good songs and you can listen to all but like 2 of them at his website. he tends to play towards the geeky crowd though his songs are not really tech related. they are kind-of all over the place which is part of the fun. i highly recommend better, octopus, code monkey, re your brains, creepy doll, chiron beta prime, my monkey, shop vac, skullcrusher mountain, and the list continues.

if you haven't seen it before you really ought to take the time to enjoy this music video that celebrates a little bit of bad translation from japanese into english.

viruses, spyware, and trojans, oh my. the internet can be a dangerous place for windows users. countless malicouse codes and unsavory programs roaming the net hammering away at everyone looking for holes in the system. and that's just the background noise, there are hackers out there with their armies of compromised zombie systems aimed at making money and stealing identies. its enough to keep some people offline. only a fool, or a mac user, would be unconcered about the state of the net. but this does not mean that honest web users need be afraid. its actually very easy to set up enough of a defense to keep all but the most determined attacks at bay.
