One of the things that I’ve always been a little bit concerned about with these flash drives is how secure could they be?  They are so very small it is easy to lose them, and it could be very easy for some unscrupulous character to “palm” them and take off without you even knowing it!  Well, leave it to Kanguru Solutions to come up with a Security system they call the Kanguru Remote Management Console that allows the owner to access (and block) the Kanguru brand of flash drives, the Kanguru Defender, Kanguru Defender Pro and Kanguru Bio AES drives remotely!  What will they think of next?  This is SO Futuristic! 

With this new system, if one of the Kanguru flash drives goes “missing” it can be remotely deleted!  That prevents the data from being accessed by unauthorized users.  This puts me in mind of the old “Mission Impossible” television show where the tape automatically self destructs!

If the flash drive user forgets their password, the administrator can reset the password remotely.  The drives can be set to lock out users or delete themselves if the drive does not connect to the authorized server within a prechosen time period.  What great security measures!

I was amazed the first time I saw a USB flash drive.  My kids call them “thumb drives.”  The first one we bought didn’t have much memory (I think it was 128) and was really expensive, but it was a convenient way to move files from one place to another.  The next one we bought was four times the storage size (512), but the same big price.  A couple of months ago we found a USB flash drive for sale that was a the same price as the other ones we had bought a couple of years ago, but it had  whopping 8GB storage!  It’s incredible how technology advances so fast!

I’m a big superhero fan.  I love watching all of the superhero movies, and if there’s a television show about some kind of superhero, I watch that too.  When a new superhero movie comes out to the theaters, I’m right there on opening day if there’s any way possible for me to be there!

I loved the Ironman movie.  I bought the DVD a couple of weeks ago when I found it for sale at Wal-Mart.  I was looking at Halloween Costumes at the halloweenadventure.com website and found the best costume I’ve seen in a long time!  The Ironman costume!

I like to collect a variety of costumes.  I don’t know exactly why, but I have always like doing that.  I really like superhero costumes the best.  My wife thinks I’m crazy, collecting all of the costumes, but she humors me.  She says “at least I’m not out catting around!”  I guess ever since I was a little kid I’ve fantasized about being a superhero.  When I was a kid I went so far as to jump off the roof of my house, thinking I could fly like Superman can!  (Thanks to my older brother’s encouragement, my mother just about killed him for talking me into that stunt!)

I noticed that my wife’s car (a white Subaru) was in desperate need of washing.  So I told my step-son to take it to one of the car washes in town and get it washed.  My wife overheard me telling him that and she suggested that I simply take it myself the next time I run errands and take it to the car wash myself.  Well, I objected because I wanted my step-son to be doing something useful and contributing to the household needs.  I told her that, too.  Her reply was “If you want something done right, you should do it yourself.”

I was surprised that she said that because it was right in front of her son when she said it!  I gave her a “funny” look that meant “are you crazy, he can hear you!”  So she said “why are you giving me that funny look?  You KNOW that when he gets to the car wash he won’t know which options or packages to order.  You know what you want done, so why don’t you just take it yourself?  That way when it’s done, you’ll be happy!”

Well, I hate to admit it, but she was right, and we both knew it.  So I took it to the car wash yesterday.
