There’s Your Busy And Then There’s My Busy

Why Being Busy Is A Terrible Thing To Be

The reason busy is a failure is because it’s a non sustainable mechanism that encourages unhappiness. “Busy”, as I define it, is the state of having a loaded, pre-determined schedule that requires you be in a certain place or perform a certain action, mostly because that action must be satisfied to match the needs of another individual. This can be a meeting, this can be work, this can be a yoga class – anything that matches these “pre-determined” characteristics. When you’re busy, you have a schedule of must-fill actions throughout your day.

Bingo!

And now this, today: Startup Idea: Moonscribe – Draw user specified art on the surface of the moon using teleoperated robot.

I hate his idea. The Moon is not a toy.

Digital Forensic SEALs

Source: 2.7 terabytes of data recovered from bin Laden compound

Digital forensic and evidence recovery specialists were part of the raid team — springing into action after the compound was secured. The team had to rapidly preserve everything, freezing everything on computers so that it didn’t get wiped out. The recovery specialists had to be particularly careful before they unplugged the computers not to trigger software programs designed to destroy hard drives or delete data that may have been installed by bin Laden’s people as protection.

“The trick was to get it out fast but to preserve everything, a source said, “for intelligence purposes first but also for evidence for possible prosecutions,” of terrorists.

Well, that answers a question I had.
