Woman earns top Judo recognition at 98

Keiko Fukuda Earns 10th Dan | The Mary Sue. What a touching story. She wanted to achieve the dream and she has. What a lifetime of work and dedication it represents. I wonder if she is happy? I think you have to do things in life that make you happy, and that will help the rest of humanity see it is ok to be happy and feel good.

How to Deploy HTTPS Correctly | Electronic Frontier Foundation. This is important for web developers and managers to understand. Many times I have been told that using HTTPS is too CPU intensive and that’s why it isn’t done. Adam Langley said:

In order to do this we had to deploy no additional machines and no special hardware. On our production frontend machines, SSL/TLS accounts for less than 1% of the CPU load, less than 10KB of memory per connection and less than 2% of network overhead. Many people believe that SSL takes a lot of CPU time and we hope the above numbers (public for the first time) will help to dispel that. [emphasis in original]

Will we live forever like Ray Kurzweil believes?

 

Transcendent Man (2009) – IMDb. This video shows the things that Mr. Kurzweil believes and he has an impressive track record. It bothers me that he said “I do plan to bring back my father.” Perhaps material existence isn’t the best form of existence we can have. An interesting and fairly balanced view of a possible future.

• Create a Free Website with our Website Builder – Jimdo. This seems like it could threaten WordPress current dominance in small business and personal CMS. The fact that it is very low-cost for the professional version and offers so much. I am going to try it out.

I tried it out and the free version is useless. Try the business version for $15 a month. They have a 30 day guarantee. This is interesting but I am still convinced that long-term WP is a better option.
