Kimonos? I thought bloggers were all about pajamas? ]]>

There are lots of reasons not to go "open kimono" (great phrase, BTW, Barry!) -- among them, you give less information to hackers that way. Discovery Channel's It Takes a Thief also referred to this recently; some thieves browse the blogs looking for information that will lead them to the home addresses of users they know will have at least some computer goodies to steal. ]]>

After researching the stories of several bloggers who've been fired, it's difficult to have much sympathy for them. Many seem to use the same, vindictive modus operandi ; 1. Publicize the blog & MAKE SURE that everyone in the office is reading. 2. Under the THINNEST guise of "annonymity", make-up some easily identifiable 'screen names' for everyone in the office. 3. Proceed to BASH & ridicule ALL of your co-workers AND every management decision in a PURELY negative manner. This is a GUARANTEED formula for making enemies, and it's equally obvious that nothing good could ever come of such pranks. To add insult to injury, several of these people were using company computers, on paid, company TIME to compose their insults & display their STUPIDITY. If these 'journalists' couldn't show ANY loyalty to the company that was paying them, or ANY respect for their co-workers... Maybe they DESERVED to be FIRED. ]]>
