I'm really anticipating having a horrible time when she gets into her teens and decides that she is ready for dating. Or rather, anybody she brings home is going to have a very, very difficult time explaining themselves to me. *evil grin*
Number 1 daughter is very smart (if you've met her, you'll probably agree) in a lot of things for a four-year-old. Of course, she really hates it when I go all geek and try to give the full out scientific explaination for things, like "why is the sky blue" or "why is grass green". Wife doesn't think it's funny either. *sigh*
By the way, if you get the chance head over to the Americana Rock Mix blog and take a listen to their podcasts. I really liked episode 21.

WPA Cracked - additional details
Yesterday, fellow handler Joel provided an early warning about the recently announced WPA Crack. Although we won't know all the technical details until next week (at least in whitepaper or presentation format), I tried to provide some light about this issue on my personal blog, RaDaJo. It is important to highlight that PoC exploit code is available.
The recomendation is simple: Migrate to WPA2! If for any reason you cannot do it before finishing reading this post, check some of the quick mitigation recommendations (like reducing the renew key interval; please, test it before making the change on your production environment), and increase your wireless detection stance and check for multiple MIC failure messages.

Songbird's Quest to Be a Music Player of a Different Feather
There is one universal truth in desktop computing, regardless of operating system: There are more music players out there than you'd be inclined to try (never mind use) on a regular basis. Some focus on the simpler, basic functions, and others strive for improved music and media management and delivery. A few of these players achieve their goals and gain a loyal user base. More fall short and get lost in the noise. New music players, then, need something distinctive (that's well developed and delivered) to draw new users, and keep them coming back.
