On Wednesday, someone announced that they'd stolen millions of passwords from LinkedIn; today I had warnings from two more websites.

The first was Triberr, one of those twitter adjunct websites, something I'd only peripherally been aware I'd ever used. The other was last.fm, which I don't recall actually using at all. Don't know is happening but I'm told that with every mistake we must surely be learning.

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
