KSitM Spiritual Anniversary

Last year, my buddy Steven and I started doing a live "Morning Show" every Tuesday and Thursday mornings. We had a lot of fun doing it, and enjoyed being able to interact with viewers live during the show through various chat/IM/social-media methods.

Today is not the actual anniversary of our first show. Our first show aired December 8th, so I'm a little late wishing a true happy anniversary... but today is a kind of a Spiritual Anniversary of the show. When we aired our very first show, that happened to be the day our building hosted a Christmas Breakfast; we were kind of rude, and sat there on our show eating our food while we were live, heh. Today is the day of this year's building-hosted Christmas Breakfast, which has caused me to think back to when Steven and I fired up the cameras for the first time.

Those were some good times. Here's that first show, where we talked about cross-contamination pet peeves, movie plans, and Christmas presents:

Online Privacy

Online Privacy

It can be mind boggling to find out how much information about is floating around the internet. Even if you have an unlisted phone number, your address and phone number could very well still be very easily obtainable online.

In order for you to take control of your information, you'll have to be a little pro-active. Keep in mind, there are many public-record sources that house personal information. There is no way to clear these records, other than to not be in them in the first place. Back in the day, it wasn't so easy to data mine these public records for useful information - you had to deal with government office hours, less-than-helpful government employees, the questioning looks and possibly even questioning questions (despite the "freedom" to access the information, people still want to know why ... and will quite possibly remember you if you're a bit "off"). These days, however, anyone with a computer and an internet connection is able to scan these public records from the privacy of their own home.
