I’d like to encourage our members to put their names

forward for the forthcoming election of our Board of

Directors and President Elect. I think you’ll nd, as

I have, that serving with a congenial group of fellow

techies is a rewarding experience. See Chris Morgan,

chairman of our nominating committee, to submit your

name ([email protected]).

Charles Rem manages our Information Desk. We

are an all-volunteer organization. Charles can nd work

for anyone who can spare an hour a month, even peri-

odically. We always need setup people in the morning

and take-down people after noon. See Charles if you

can help ([email protected]).

Instant Expert - well, expert in a week. The website,

http://www.vebook.com, has a huge archive that fea-

tures interviews with real experts who have chosen ve

outstanding books that concern their area of expertise.

“Every day an eminent writer, thinker, commentator,

politician, academic chooses ve books on their [sic]

specialist subject.” Of course, the site is afliated with

book sellers who’d be happy to provide you with the

books. If you put all recreation aside for a week, you

could work your way thru ve books. At the end of that

time, you’d certainly be a bull-session expert on the

subject. You’d certainly know more than the average

college graduate.

Here are some subjects that caught my eye: Azer-

baijan - how much would you have to learn to know

more about this nation than anyone you ever met?;

Nordic Crime Fiction; Glamor; Science and Climate

Change;

“Are you an avid vulnerability hunter who wants to

earn an extra buck or two for your skills? If so, Google

would like a word with you. The company has an-

nounced a new experimental reward program for those

who nd security bugs in Google’s websites, following

a similar and successful program from earlier this year.

The rewards depend on the severity of the bug(s), but

range from $500 to $3,133.7 (wow, clever).

“According to Google’s blog post on the topic, all

of Google’s Web properties are up for grabs—that

includes YouTube, Blogger, Orkut, or any other web-

site that manages sensitive user data or accounts.

It’s the user data that’s important to Google, and the

base reward starts at $500 if you manage to nd a

vulnerability—in a test account, of course. If you don’t

want the money, you can donate it to charity with a

matching donation from Google.” Read more at: http://

Is it possible to sail directly downwind faster than

the wind? All obvious paper and pencil calculations

say no .... but have a look at: http://blog.makezine.

wind_black.html. Published measurements show

the vehicle traveling at 2.8 times windspeed!
