I read your e-mail
There's a website called ThinkGeek that has a whole lot of just plain fun geek stuff. They sell t-shirts, bumper stickers, caffinated soap, posters, computer hardware, and geeky toys. I've been wanting to get some of their bumper stickers for my guitar case, but living in Canada means shipping and the exchange rate will make them kinda pricey. One of my favorites says, "I read your e-mail".
As an IT guy I have access to sensitive information, like people's passwords. I just finished sending out 40 personalized e-mails containing user names and passwords for work. Sometimes it's fun to scroll through a list of usernames and passwords. Some are downright funny. Some I shake my head at because of their simplicity: can you say "hackable"? It's also scary knowing the kind of power I have. On a whim I could invade someone's privacy: I could read their e-mail.
As I contemplate the phrase, "With great power comes great responsibility," I think I'll have a cherry Jolly Rancher candy.
