Are you practicing Safe Hex?
As the saying goes - you can never be too rich, too thin, or too computer secure! Have you updated Windows recently? Is your virus software up to date? How about your firewall? Do you even know what I’m talking about? If not then here are some links to help you on your way to practicing Safe Hex!
Today is Computer Security Day. Link to it, where you can get more info and a poster or two. |

XNEAT is a cool Windows tweak app with lots of features. A TaskBar Sorter allows you to reorder the programs in the taskbar. It displays a new menu when you click on a window titlebar using your mouse middle button. Adds extra items to the right click menu, and more, and it's free. GO THERE.

Another share of one of my MP3s. I set up a new one once a week and give you seven days to check it out. After that it will be gone and replaced by a new selection. Please don't link to this. Just click on the link and save it. Until I can make some money and buy some, if you get the message BANDWIDTH exceeded, just try again tomorrow. For this week:
| The Rosebuds "Get Up And Get Out" or you can try here too! |
The Rosebuds debut in 2003, created a fan base that will surly expand now that "Night of the Furies" was released in October. Here is the song you will probably hear all the time now. I'm sharing the "Get Up And Get Down" track. Enjoy and check out their myspace page.

It's Free and useful if you want more control over your drive letters. Check it out.

| Neil Young "The Believer" or you can try here too! |
I'd like to share the 'Ordinary People' track from Neil Young's newest album, but it is an 18 minute cut. I wouldn't have any bandwidth left! Instead here is 'The Believer' from the same new album called "Chrome Dreams II". The whole CD is just great and worth the price. Enjoy some great Canadian content.

Foto-Mosaik creates mosaic-pictures, which are composed of many small pictures (tiles), from your own photos. The individual tiles, from which the mosaic-picture will be created, can be selected at random. After analysis, Foto-Mosaik puts them into one or multiple databases. As a basis you can grab the pictures from your private collection, or from a photo-cd. A simple to use wizard will guide you through the freeware program. So it is a piece of cake to create you own mosaic pictures with extraordinary effect.
Foto-Mosaik supports:
- BMP - Windows Bitmaps
- JPEG/JPG - Joint Photografic Expert Group
- GIF - Compuserve "Graphics Interchange Format"
- PNG - Portable Network Graphic Format
- HPI - Herma Photo-CD Image

| Terrence Trent D'Arby "Wishing Well" or you can try here too! |
Back in the 80's Terence Trent D'Arby came out with an album with the song "Wishing Well" on it. D’Arby became famous in the late 80s with this soulful single. I liked it then and still do today. I ran across it on a collection CDs issued last year. So I thought now would be a good time to share and expose some of you who might not have been before. Enjoy.

| Wilco "What Light" or you can try here too! |
I shared Wilco's "Impossible Germany" just before their gig here in Toronto at Massey Hall. Volkswagen's latest TV campaign is breaking new ground with the utilization of Wilco's new album. In an advertising first, VW has used a number of songs in multiple spots from the band's new release. This is the first time anyone has ever used one album as a soundtrack for an entire TV campaign. They now have a commercial using the song I'm sharing today. The group has had a great start for their new album "Sky Blue Sky". It used to be older songs being used in ads but now anything goes. Here is the song, called "What Light", you may remember the ad as soon as you play this one. Enjoy this selection, buy the CD, and visit the official Wilco site.

What a great Xmas present!!.
The SpongeBob SquarePants 15-inch LCD TV hooks into computers, DVD players, gaming consoles and karaoke systems. The HD-ready TV, which costs $299, also offers a built-in ATSC digital tuner.It's unclear whether SpongeBob himself can afford the product, based on his meager salary as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab.
