The technology blog and podcast and TSB

Welcome to the Security box, podcast 171. We hope that each and every one of you have had a happy Thanksgiving and have recharged your batteries. On this edition, we're making it official and am bringing back the things to ponder. We'll explain what we're going to do and we put it in practice last podcast. If these things to ponder have blog posts, we'll link them from right within the program's show notes so you can read what we're talking about. We'll also have news, notes, any moron of the podcast and our topic talking about URL shorteners and a recent trend with them. We hope you enjoy the show as much as we have bringing the show for you!

For full notations, please see The Blog as we'll link to other things we don't have room here to cover.
