First photograph ever taken by phosphorescent light. The face is that of Mr. Tesla, and the source of light is one of his phosphorescent bulbs. The time of exposure, eight minutes. Date of photograph January, 1894.

Here’s some more detailed information (and some more over here) on the “Heartbleed” bug that was found in OpenSSL security. It doe NOT affect all internet sites everywhere.

Here is a list of the top 1000 sites listed by which are vulnerable and which aren’t. Many are not, which means any info you have on them is safe. Sites such as LastPass and Google are safe. If you have accounts on the affected sites, those are the ones to watch out for.

this needs to be signal boosted a little bit better because tumblr staff did a piss poor job of it.

#puns #I for one welcome the twenty-first century #sure I was *technically* born in the 90’s #but I don’t have very many memories from it #and none of them are of things that could only ever have happened in the 90’s #my first memory that is specific to its time period is about the first Bush election

#something called #Neil’s Puppet Dreams #apparently #the references are more thickly packed here than usual #it’s generally one Firefly joke per appearance if it’s not an ongoing gig #and that’s it #(is it just me or is Fillion trying really hard not to crack up?) #(while Harris looks much more deadpan)
