Reading Tess Gerritsen's newest book today - The Apprentice. After reading her first five, I had to grab this one as soon as I saw it.

This begs the question - why do so many of us, ostensibly normal people, read books, watch TV and movies about creepy killers? Why are there so many TV shows about lawyers, cops, and doctors? Of course the answer is drama, and the more drama the better. There's nothing more dramatic than life and death, and the only way to raise the stakes (more drama) is to make the cause of death random, frightening, and painful. So here I sit, reading about serial killers.

A picture named warflying_sm.gifWarflying !

I found this while looking through the various San Diego blogs. The mental image is actually pretty funny - two guys flying around in a small plane with a laptop and RF gear, looking for network access. I can see Rick Moranis in the role.
