1 Year Anniversary at USBC

July 7th, 2009

So today marks my 1 year anniversary at the United States Bowling Congress as an IT Systems Engineer.  Needless to say, this has been a long drawn out year with all of the redesign and deployment of new technologies at the Congress.  I look forward to being here for an undisclosed amount of time.  Anyway, happy 1 year to me!

New DOS attacks threaten wireless data networks

June 10th, 2009

We are starting to see the new threat to our internet usage as we use wireless everywhere nowadays.  I know I use it at places like Starbucks and so on…just imagine what this could do!
