Suds & Sushi
Suds & Sushi

I just spent the last several days up in Yosemite.  ((The Tenaya Lodge in Fish Camp, actually.  Its about 3 miles south of the South Entrance to Yosemite))  Driving back home I saw the BEST sign.  It was so good I immediately pulled off the road to take this picture.

I have a hard time understanding how a sushi place in Oakhurst could possibly have fresh fish.  ((The sushi place has very mixed reviews.)) ((Interestingly, none of the reviewers asks the critical question, “Where the hell are they getting their fish???”))  That they’re sandwiched between a laundromat and the front office for a construction company makes me even more wary.

One person in my car got sick after just driving past this place.  ((I’m not kidding, they really did barf.))

bay bridge
Bay Bridge still being repaired...

So, the Bay Bridge will NOT be open this morning.  The Bay Bridge has its own Twitter page so you can check its status (updated every few hours). ((Photo courtesy of Telstar Logistics))

Update @ 5:58am:  “Bay Bridge repairs are undergoing final inspections. The bridge is expected to open later today. Check back for updates and opening time.”

When I had to drive to Palo Alto last Thursday I completely avoided all the bridges because traffic was such a mess.  It took me longer, but at least it took me longer in a predictable fashion.

Antivirus Pro 2010 SCAM
Antivirus Pro 2010 SCAM

My father in law’s laptop is infected with a very nasty program called “Antivirus Pro 2010.”  It disables a bunch of core Windows functions, messes with other programs, shuts down the computer randomly, tells you the computer has a virus (which is technically true), and then offers to help you out for $40.00.  In reality, this program is itself malware/spyware etc.

The problem is that it really looks like its an official MicroSoft or Windows program!  ((Photo courtesy of bleepingcomputer.com))

After several attempts and trying to use numerous different programs, I’ve been unsuccessful in deleting it.  It installs pieces of itself all over the computer – and if you don’t delete each piece it will install the entire thing all over again.  The various recommendations I’ve seen on the internet have been ineffectual.

If When I finally remove it, I’ll post the information here.
