Are you one who has found that the convenience of those USB drives that fit in your pocket but can hold tons of information?  What kind of information are you storing on those drives?  Is it information that you really would prefer to keep private in case it fell into the wrong hands?  Have you even thought about what is there and what happens if you lose it?  This is a great thing to think about and you can take action to protect yourself with a free open source tool called TrueCrypt.

Let’s say you back up files that contain banking information or other financial information, then you need to encrypt these files.  With TrueCrypt, you can encrypt the entire drive.  New technologies are great and there are great uses for these small devices, but you really need to think of what you are storing on these.  With larger sizes of these devices, more and more people are buying these.  They are inexpensive, and very handy.  But can be a security risk to you.  Don’t wait.  If you have personal information on your USB storage device, visit TrueCrypt and encrypt your drive and protect your information.

OK, I’m a huge sports fan and this weekend was a big weekend for my teams.  In college, my KU Jayhawks played those Misery Tigers at Arrowhead Stadium Saturday night.  OK, MU is good.  Really good.  KU couldn’t get anything started and ran out of time.  MU is now number one.  I’ve tried to tell myself that it would be good for MU to win against Oklahoma this weekend for the Big 12 Championship.  Here is what happened though.  I can’t come to accept pulling for the Misery Tigers.  So, BOOMER SOONER I hope the crush the Tigers dream of being the national champion.  So Saturday I’ll be pulling for OU to beat the Tigers.  If there are any Missouri fans who read my blog or run across it this week when they do a Google Search, I hop you don’t take my advice.  I hope you get hacked, I hope you lose your personal information, and I hope you get pwned by some evil bot master.  That really wasn’t nice.

Well Sunday, I had another chance to have my team win and make me feel better.  Kansas City Chiefs played their old hated rivals the Oakland Raiders.  We’ve  owned the series over the past few years.  Oakland on the schedule became a win you could count on.  Well this year, it was different.  Oakland actually ran KC to death in the 4th quarter.   Kolby Smith ran really well.  150 yards for the game.  But KC fell short.  I am OK.  The earth didn’t stop revolving.  This year is just a rough year for the KC Chiefs. May be a few but I think all us fans can bear with it if the outcome is a stronger team in the future.

Hope your weekend was good, and I hope you are finding this information informative.  Stay safe (unless you are Misery fan) and hope your Holiday season has started off well.  ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU!!!
