If there's anything I don't like involving my self in it's politics. I believe it's necessary though. Recently there have been two pieces of legislation roaming around D.C. that have worried me both professionally and personally. The first and least scary is the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). In name it sounds good, piracy of intellectual property does harm artists who create movies, music, art and authors who write, and anyone else who creates digital/digitizable works. In reality it works out like this: If someone accuses your website of infringing copyright, your DNS entry (this converts www.tsaot.com to the address 64.233.161.104 which is the address where this site is hosted) will be blocked and your site made unreachable.

This is just a small warning to all:

The Internet is watching you.

It is watching what you watch, buy, and say. It is recording it, and for those that know how to, it is easy to pull up and see.

Recently a new website has appeared that takes some of this publically available and recorded data and lays it out for all to see.

I've tried to write this article several times now and it always turns into some sort of lecture that no-one will want to read. The short and sweet of it is that you're not protecting your passwords from people anymore. You're protecting them from computers that are scraping the Internet for whatever they can find. To do this there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

Welcome to the first iteration/design of Tsaot.com. In the coming days you will begin to see content populate the site, some serious, some fun, and some relating to my business, Tsaot Code & Design. I hope you find it informative, or at the least, a little entertaining.

The jellyfish robots have arrived and they can walk. Thankfully, they're not waterproof or else we'd be doomed.

My dad just posted the following on his blog:

I have a little saying on my favorite season. It is the first two months of the current season, then in the next month it is the next season. I love looking forward to the upcoming season as the current one wanes. Each season brings newness and change. I love to see change. However, after 2 months I look forward to the changes brought by the next season and anticipate the beauty brought thereby.
