DenVan's Twitter Poem - Green Eggs and Spam
Tuesday, November 24th 2009 @ 11:17 PM (not yet rated)
I am fortunate to have some very witty friends. Mr. Dennis Van Staalduinen is one such fellow. He's a brand marketing consultant who uses social media, and has learned a thing or two about its pros and cons. Recently, he went to some length - or at least a few feet and meters - to borrow from Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham as the framework for a protest against Twitter abusers. It's very clever and funny - if you know Twitter.
I hope Dennis doesn't mind me repeating a few of his lines here. But this is only about one third of his entire opus on the subject. So, please visit his website at the link below to read the rest, and maybe drop him a comment for his efforts.

When is it Secure Enough? Just because it's not designed for security doesn't mean it won't work

Sometimes you look at something and say, "How elegantly simple and effective?" In this case, never in a million years would you dream of this as a solution to the main security problem. Of course, the best solution for a convenience store rest room door lock, in the case of this picture, would have cost $10. But when the existing environment has a built-in safeguard, why spend that kind of money if you don't have to?
OK, so it might not pass the PCI security audit. But it does the job...
