The Plan

Any decent project begins with a plan. So I brought Omni, Carlo, and Alan together to lay out the project plan for the DigiBoard. The boys did great work last year bringing the original DigiBoard to life so I was excited to see what they would do with it this summer.

They have a challenge ahead of themselves. Both of them might be a little too ambitious.

Summer Projects

It looks like Commander Omni finally put up the list of summer projects. It will be fun helping the boys redesign the DigiBoard. In the meantime I am going to start up a new project of my own.

I spoke with our new Message Center supervisor Trey and he got me thinking about the various ways in which Cyber Villains abuse email. I am going to see if I can't build something, with Scout's help, that will plug up security holes in our email systems. I truly agree with Trey that email can be a wonderful thing if only we can stop people abusing it.

Cyber Defense Tip:
Disconnect your Computer to Protect it

Attackers or viruses often scan the Internet looking for computers to target, and the likelihood that your computer will be attacked becomes much higher if your computer is always connected.

Depending on what method you use to connect to the Internet, disconnecting may mean ending a dial-up connection, turning off your computer or modem, or disconnecting cables. Talk to a trusted adult about how your computer is connected and work with them to keep it secure.
