I picked my for next years PACE Board today. I am really excited about it because I feel that it is a very strong board and together we will give the students of Plymouth State University the entertainment they deserve. It was a very tough making the decision as who would get the positions that they wanted, but it wasn’t personal. I really hope that the people who did not make it on the board understand that I had to do what was best for the organization and to uphold the mission statement to the best of our ability.
Our Mission: As the Programming Board of the Plymouth State University Student Body, it is our intent to remain responsive to student attitudes, interests, and needs; to provide programs which compliment, reflect, and respond to those interests and needs; and to contribute to the overall development of the members of the Campus Community.

My Nephew came home from the hospital today and he is doing amazing. He is 4lbs 5oz and when he was born he was 3lbs 7oz. He is still 4 weeks early, but he is very strong and breathing very well. His heartrate hasn’t dropped in about a week which is one of the biggest changes.

“It is being reported on the Vonage Forums that last month when Loren Veltkamp’s Chanhassen, Minnesota home caught on fire, he immediately called 9-1-1 using Vonage. Unfortunately, Vonage put him on hold, causing a delay in the response from emergency workers. By the time fire crews arrived, the fire had become a five-alarm blaze. The house was a total loss.”
That is a serious problem that someone will most likely be “fired” for, NO PUN INTENDED. Vonage is still working out the bugs in their system. When phones were first used, they didn’t get it right the first time. Over time Vonage will get it, lets just hope that there is not a problem with me.

Researchers at the Amsterdam’s Free University created a radio frequency identity (RFID) chip infected with a virus to prove that RFID systems are vulnerable despite the extremely low memory capacity on the cheap chips.
The problem is that an infected RFID tag, which is read wirelessly when it passes through a scanning gate, can upset the database that processes the information on the chip, says the study by Melanie Rieback, Bruno Crispo and Andrew Tanenbaum.
They are going to adding RFID tags to US Passports, which contain all of our personal private information, and these RFID tags have the chance at being infected with viruses that can publish the so called “private” information to the web or to someone.
I am all about technology, but there are somethings that we should think more about. We will see how this turns out.
