If you haven’t been there yet, giveusallyourmoney.com is funny. Thanks to John for passing it along… it keeps getting funnier each and every time I see it. Also, courtesy of the Onion, the bogus statement from the National Cryptography and Information Security Council was funny too.

Clearly, RSA’s marketing has received a serious shot in the arm since the merger. Billing themselves nowadays as the “security division of EMC”, they’ve been sending out all sorts of email invitations over the past few weeks: invitations to view their blog entries, invitations to listen to their podcasts, and most recently, an invitation to attend a live seminar about PCI.

Thanks to Ted for passing this along.

From the gentleman who brought us the BBQ Sign Generator, the Office Park Sign Generator, Atom Smasher brings us the Graffiti generator. Love it.

Expect this new outsourcing craze to sweep corporate America like wildfire in the next 6-10 months.
