Windows users ambushed by attack on fresh IE flaw
New Microsoft Exploit In The Wild An unknown vulnerability in some versions of Internet Explorer has been reported by various sites. Thousands of websites are affected and the exploit code install malware on a visitor's computer.
"An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. When using Internet Explorer, code execution is remote and may not require any user intervention," said Microsoft security representatives.
Windows XP and 2003 users are vulnerable. Workaround: I only use IE ancillararily, but it's worth patching, I think.

Just had the following down the wire: John Keel passed on July 03 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City after a several month stint in a nursing home near his Upper West Side apartment. Very sad news.
(ED: I wonder if it were this blog entry which prompted the wikiedit 5 minutes after I posted? Please note that the source for the above is private list correspondance from Phyllis Benjamin at The International Fortean Organization. I see there is a similar notice just up at Fortean Times. Same source as I. No official word as yet.)
(ED2: Jon Downes at CFZ via catvincent--and his own post. Same source as I.)
ED3: Loren Coleman writes a fine obituary over at his Cryptomundo blog.
I expect there will be more overnight, but I'm to bed now.
ED4: Both from Mac Tonnies, who has also added his own.
ED5 Another report on Keel's last days, again from Loren Coleman. This is very sad. Keel Ends Life Rather Alone

Shockingly sad details are being revealed of the lonely, unfortunate last days of John A. Keel's life...

The French-born and now California-based ufologist, computer scientist, and former astronomer shares his thoughts on the recently deceased Fortean writer. Plus, Newsday for July 7, 2009, has an article about Keel's passing.

Mark B tells me that the Brisbane Chamber Choir will be performing Arvo Pärt's Berliner Messe at 8pm on 26 July at St John's Cathedral on Ann St. $30 tickets.
I absolutely can't afford it, but I'm thinking I'll go. It's a beautiful Mass Chorus.
Here's a taste.

dwaleberry linked to a cover of Orinoco Flow, which put this in mind...
Enya - Caribbean Blue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeYL3uhYv48
and the tempo (I know, they're different beats) and harmony (and something of the atmosphere) put me in mind of this...
The Stranglers - Golden Brown
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmzkmqvuDiE
Now I'm wondering if there's a third song out there which might flow on from these two...

Disco tune saves man's life
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/07/02/cpr.cardiac.arrest/index.html
...in the event of cardiac arrest, ...perform chest compressions very hard to the beat of the 1970s Bee Gees song "Stayin' Alive." When someone suffers cardiac arrest ...the heart stops functioning completely, and brain death begins within four to six minutes if the victim doesn't receive help.
"I sang the song and gave directions to the EMTs at the same time. It was like, 'Stayin' alive, stayin' alive -- take a right here, take a left here -- Stayin' alive, stayin' alive -- take this path down here -- Stayin' alive, stayin' alive,' " Remember, the Bee Gees Save Lives.
