Confessions of a Hacker – Bad Company
I am a long standing fan of the animated series ‘South Park’. One of my favourite episodes involves Crossing Over’s John Edwards being crowned as the biggest douche in the universe. Unfortunately, a couple of weekends ago I had the displeasure of playing a round of golf with two legitimate contenders for his title. A […]
Monday Milestone: The Miracle Mile
