I don't have much time this morning

So I will leave you with this Taiwanese video explaining the Gawker implosion




I shouldn't be enjoying this as much as I am, but I am looking at this as karmic payback for all the innocent people Gawker has screwed over.

Oh also reading list update: The Definitive Handbook of Business Continuity Management is gone.  Replaced by Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War

The United States, China, and Russia eye each other across a twenty-first century version of the Cold War, which suddenly heats up at sea, on land, in the air, in outer space, and in cyberspace. The fighting involves everything from stealthy robotic–drone strikes to old warships from the navy’s “ghost fleet.” Fighter pilots unleash a Pearl Harbor–style attack; American veterans become low-tech insurgents; teenage hackers battle in digital playgrounds; Silicon Valley billionaires mobilize for cyber-war; and a serial killer carries out her own vendetta. Ultimately, victory will depend on blending the lessons of the past with the weapons of the future.
Ghost Fleet is a page-turning speculative thriller in the spirit of The Hunt for Red October. The debut novel by two leading experts on the cutting edge of national security, it is unique in that every trend and technology featured in the novel — no matter how sci-fi it may seem — is real, or could be soon.
