Wireless

So Justin was watching the news and called me in to hear the segment about wireless safety. The news guy was with a computer whiz/ legal hacker letting us know that if you aren't on a secure wireless network someone can get ALL your information off your computer while you are surfing.


They were traveling through Houston to coffee shops and other shops that offered free wireless. They would get their hacker to get into your computer. He would get on the same website you were on and could tell you the passwords you had used to get there! Hello, FREAKY!! A great talent to have, but way to much power for pretty much any one person.


The good part came when they started driving through Houston neighborhoods trying to get on an unsecured wireless network. They stopped by a couple of houses and shocked some people, mostly with the cameras, but still warned them about protecting themselves. The last house they showed was a male in his 30's who looked a little skaterish. They asked him if he had been on the website "the shack". At this point Justin paused the TV and said, that is a porn site! As I was thinking how embarrassing for that guy and why does Justin know that, he unpaused the TV.

The guy said slowly and suspiciously, "yes".

They then asked him what he did for a living.

His response, "I'm a youth minister".

Justin and I almost fell off the bed laughing! We thought of all people to catch on a porn website and the poor guy got caught on TV.

Justin had a epiphany a little bit later and realized that the shack wasn't a porn website, but the website for Radio Shack. Sorry minister man that we thought you were being naughty and you were probably just trying to get some materials for church. I guess we should be slower to judge, or alot slower believing Justin :)

And Radio Shack should realize they aren't cool for changing their name to the Shack, just confusing retarded people like me.
