Laptop Security Initiative

For the purpose of securing my laptop, I got some secuirty stickers for my computer. It comes as a pack of two. One on the lid and one next to the keyboard. Take a look at the images.




The image of the lid has a barcode and a tracking number (both blackened out since this image is on the web)

I got them from Computer Security (www.computersecurity.com) ,
The specific url is http://www.computersecurity.com/stop/


(as to why I came up with this... well, shortly before Christmas - some creep decided to test out a lock cutter on my bicycle lock and went away with my bicycle.)

Freezing Rain

"Its freezing here ! "

Literally ...
the temperature has dipped below 32F (0`C) here in College Station.
The a look at the current temperature reading (see picture )

The "feels like" value is the temperature drop caused by the wind-chill factor

(Picture is a screengrab from the website of weather.com)

We have an ice storm warning in progress.

Rain drops that reach the ground surface freeze and turn to ice. Some parts of town report having ice formed on the road.
