I often have to design maps, handbooks and etc. This is a genius idea for a show handout! So simple, it's one of those 'why didn't I think of that' things. Well done!

hackers f#cking suck !!
I have spent two days working on a hacked gmail account and have to tell you it's been a nightmare! Just when you think you have it figured out, they noodle back in and figure out something new. AND Google is very little help. They give you a form to fill out of the most impossible questions. Could you name the exact date you opened your gmail account? Could you name the person that invited you to gmail and provide their email address??? They don't even provide a place for you to explain what you know about the hacker or explain why you think your account has been taken... Insane!
I filled out the form once and provided only a little bit of information because it was going to require calling people to find out more - that was rejected. So I filled it out again and gave more info and guessed at as much as possible and finally got the account back. That said, the hacker still had email being directed to an alternate address. I had sent a screen capture of my iphone settings to help out my colleague who was having the problems, but think that got sent to the spammer. Had to call my mail host to see what they could do with that information and as I was on the phone with them, I believe the spammers had compromised one of my company accounts. Arrrrggggg!
I now have to change every password for every user to be sure that nothing is able to be hacked - and that means on 10 computers, 10 iphones and etc. So much work is needed to correct this situation and it sucks that there is no consequence to the person who is causing all of this pain. SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS!
So, after all of this... I'm thinking I may drop gmail and use my own server. Seems like a much more secure option... anyone else had experience with this?
hawaii :: days 4&5 : kaua'i
Welcome to one of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches, Poipu Beach. Located on the southern shore of the island of Kaua'i, where the surf is calm and the sand oh so inviting. Well, unless it's raining. Then it's all about dodging rain drops and storm clouds.
I was most excited to take a photo tour of the island, famous for it's beaches, water falls, taro fields and wild chickens. Sadly, the weather did not cooperate, but after several conversations with the tour guides, we decided to venture out and at least see the island and capture a photo or two when possible. Fortunately, I had my rain gear, but Bethany forgot hers and had to sport the most lovely clear poncho. I think she worked it tho...
I will say this about the tour folks - they were super sweet and our guide tried really hard to make it to each of the locations and was super knowledgable about the island. She was giving photography pointers to one of the ladies with us, which I thought was great.
We drove up the west and north shores, but sadly did not make it to the Hanalei Pier (the one place I really wanted to go) because the bridge to the northern part of the island was very close to flooding. Boo! But I figure the photos would not have been great anyway...
We made it to the hotel, the Koa Kea, and loved it! It's chic and modern, beautifully manicured and the rooms were fabulous! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Kaua'i. It's right on the beach, has a beautiful pool (that I was so sad not to be able to use), close to some cute little shops and has wonderful food at the Red Salt restaurant. The staff was warm and friendly and even granted us a late check out without hesitation.
I ventured out on our second day - a little bit of blue sky and a whole lotta clouds, but no rain till later. Took a few photos along Poipu Beach - it's lovely and goes on for miles.
While my trip was greatly modified from it's original intent, Kaua'i is a lovely island. If you want to get away and just do nothing - check out, sip umbrella drinks, walk along the beach and take in some of the most beautiful scenery, this island is truly for you!
