Soul Searching Songs

So the discussion was ‘which was the best soul searching song?’. What song spoke best to existential angst - wandering? The song that was most mentioned was U2’s:

“…But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for”

Also mentioned frequently was Bob Seger’s “No Man’s Land”:

“Headin’ in and headin’ out
Standing on the shore
Pause a moment to reflect
Which trip costs you more…”

And one person even suggested Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman”:

“I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin’ in the sun for another overload…”

I don’t understand that but it is nevertheless interesting. Perhaps it would have been more meaningful if one was a listener during its release. Anyway, I was wondering… ‘what is soul searching song is at the top of your list?’.

Reminder to Cleveland (and Other Ohio Cities): 23 Cent Pizzas Today

This is just a reminder about the Papa John’s “apology”. Cleveland and some other Ohio cities have a twenty three cent pizza offer tonight:

“…But today only, to make amends for a handful of Papa John’s T-shirts bashing Cavs star LeBron James as a “Crybaby,” the pizza chain is selling large, one-topping pizzas at a discount of more than 10 bucks. Eighty-six stores in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Youngstown are in on the deal, each prepared to sell more than 900 pies.”

Papa John’s is receiving enormous free publicity from this promotion. Perhaps the pizza crowd in Ohio will make it expensive to have slammed LeBron James.

Data Breach: Bank Server Missing

It is not unusual to find daily news items of laptops that have gone missing or jump drives that are lost. However, it is not every day that a bank reports the loss of a server:

“The loss of a computer server from a Kwun Tong branch of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation could lead to the leakage of private data of 159,000 customers.”

It seems that the data were encrypted. “Internet Society chairman Charles Mok Nai-kwong said even though the server has been encrypted, there may still be ways to access the data.” Handling a data breach with such statements is not a great way to reassure anxious banking customers.
