- OldNFO has an excellent rundown on how he takes care of his EDC equipment. That reminds me, I need to give the pistols a good wipe down.
- Something tells me that a businessman in Texas is about to have a very bad day.
- Borepatch discusses the latest wave of Internet banditry. The discussion of how hard it is to get this particular piece of malware off an infected computer reminds me of something an old SysAd told me once: Take off and nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. If you get infected, zorch your partitions, re-install your system, and restore your files from the most recent uninfected backup. You are backing up your system, aren’t you?
- Via BlackFive, we hear the story of how soldiers at Fort Bliss were forced to sit and provide a backdrop for Fearless Leader when they should have been either finishing up business early or already off for their long weekend. Reminds me of when some guys I knew from Wiesbaden had to give up their last bit of family time before deploying to Bosnia so that they could be there to smile and clap for President Clinton doing a victory lap.
- The Big Guy has one of the creepiest photos I’ve ever seen. I sincerely hope that’s PhotoShop.
- I’m not sure what breed of dog Wirecutter posted a picture of, but I know I want one! Nothing says “Get off my lawn!” like a dog that requires a ground guide to back into his bed at night.

/ September 5, 2012That would be a brindle Mastiff, probly an English Mastiff (or the americanized version there of). And yes, they’re big dogs!

/ September 5, 2012Thanks. “Mastiff” was lurking in the corners of my brain, but wouldn’t come out, and it was annoying me.

/ September 5, 2012It looks like an english mastiff with a brindle coat – friends of mine back in Alaska have two, and they went from couch pillows of pure puppy love to moveable furniture of pure puppy love – and while the girl figured it out, the boy was still very confused at why he didn’t fit under the kitchen table or in the car anymore. Miss those dogs, for all their drool!

/ September 6, 2012Definitely an english Mastiff.
FWIW, I’ve never met one without significant health problems. Otherwise I’d really love a Really Giant Doggie.

/ September 6, 2012Take a closer look at the Tibetan Mastiffs. Not quite as big, and lots of coat (though if you can handle Akita coat you can handle TM coat), but much fewer health issues as long as you’re carefull about your breeder.
