The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security
The first one of this batch is the best...this page succinctly states what is wrong with thought processes in the technology security realm. They also touch on things wrong in a lot of industries. A good read.

Interesting Perl
While trying to locate a more reliable means of contacting a CPAN module's current author, I ran across some modules that deserve another look: Module::Release, and Perl::Tidy.

First Cocktail
The first-ever cocktail was a mix that defies all current wives' tales... Not only did it mix beer and wine, but also fruit juice and honey! So not only did you have grain and fruit mixed, but also an extra dose of sugar. Wow! So maybe the "beer then liquor, never been sicker; liquor then beer, in the clear" thing isn't true. Or maybe it isn't true if you ingest it pre-mixed. I feel a "scientific endeavour" coming soon...

Broken Link
Smacky let me know a link was broken here on Fever, so I fixed the gecko feet link in a previous post. For those too lazy to read said post, the article talks about scientists making strides in understanding how a gecko's feet work and replicating said functionality artificially. Cool.
