When I was a born, my parents were in medical school. Sometimes they had to work nights, and when they did (or so I’ve been told) my mom would come home from a long night at the hospital, wake me up in the middle of the night, and play. Maybe that explains something about why I get into my most productive state of mind in the middle of the night…

Or maybe it’s maybe simply that the rest of the world is asleep, and I don’t have any distractions…

Undercover federal agents were able to penetrate 19 Federal Agencies and two major airports using fake badges and credentials they forged themselves using personal computers and color printers. In no instance was their forgery discovered. In one case, agents were able to leave an uninspected van in an agency parking lot for a long period of time. On one day, they were able to penetrate no fewer than eight separate federal agencies. Sennate subcommittee meetings are currently taking place.

Senator Bobby Scott (D-VA) calims that it is dangerous to hold hearings so soon after the penetrations took place, in that it may put agencies at even more risk by publicizing the methods used by the agents.

There was a high of 82 degrees fahrenheit today in San Francisco. A hot day by some standards, but an especially hot day in my top-floor Noe Valley apartment.
