Unhacked
Sorry, guess it wasn’t good form to have the top post on my site be titles “hacked” for the last week. I did get it cleaned up in about 24 hours for good. Ended up being something that had gotten ahold of my FTP password and was using that path to infect my index.php and…

My 911 story
This blog started in March 2004, about two and a half years after 9/11. I’ve done a few political posts and talked about the war on terror, but generally keep it a bit lighter. On the 10th anniversary of 9/11 however, I feel the need to document my story on that day….before I forget more…
