I just got a phishing email that's spoofing the MySpace domain ... really? No one should see that relic and think "yeah, this is probably legit."
ICYMI LastPass sent out a security bulletin on Monday 2/27, to LastPass Business Administrators with a punch list of things to do. There's quite a bit of stuff in here:

Apparently, I'm just making mountains out of mole hills. Nothing matters. We're all just spewing our secrets out to the Ether for giggles.

Had a bittersweet #aviation moment today. Was flying to Rochelle, IL (KRPJ) for breakfast. In route found out the winds were too high so I diverted to Madison (KMSN) to have breakfast at The Jet Room. Got to park right out in front of the restaurant.
After I was seated, I heard a kid behind me get all excited that the #pilot who had just landed was sitting near them in the restaurant. But then I heard them ask their mom "Girls can fly airplanes too?".
While I was thrilled the just my simple visibility caused so much excitement for this child, I was also sad. It's depressing that thanks to only 7% of pilots being female, this kid didn't even know it was a possibility. Well, one life changed for the better, I hope.
Or, just pilot error...

What I'm getting about United 1722, without reading the pilots' or the FAA's reports, are three possibilities:
1. Sudden shift of the direction and speed of the wind (aka windshear) caused the aircraft to stall,
2. A downdraft due to very heavy cold rain was encountered, exceeding the plane's vertical climb performance, or
3. A microburst was encountered, combining windshear and downdrafts, making for a deadly combination of 1 & 2.
In any case, it sounds like the pilots managed to pull off an incredible low-level save. I bet they were shaking after that one. I hope to read the final report someday.
