A lighthearted look at news of the day:
Researchers at the University of Utah last week released a study that compared using navigation systems and texting while driving to mentally balancing a checkbook behind the wheel. Millions of young drivers responded by saying, “What’s a checkbook?”

Want to make young drivers stop texting? Tell them distracted driving is like trying to clean their rooms.
---
Of course, us older drivers text and program navigation systems, too. The message could be tailored to us by saying distracted driving is like trying to remember whether you have taken your medication yet today.
---
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, which explains all the spooky decorations you see everywhere.
---
Cyber Security Awareness — in the old days, we used to call it, “The Russians are coming!”
---
Reports say the Russians stole highly classified cyber secrets from the NSA in 2015. Great, now they’ve got transcripts of all those phone calls the NSA secretly recorded me making to my friends back then. NSA, KGB — I forget, which one is our enemy again?
---
Since Russia stole stuff from the NSA, that means Edward Snowden has it now, right? What if he agreed to just put it all back in exchange for us letting him come home and pretending nothing ever happened?
---
Russians apparently also bought a lot of ads on Facebook last year in an attempt to sway the election. That really wasn’t such a big deal. It turns out they actually were trying to get the Libertarians to win.
---
Utah's own John Huntsman Jr., was just confirmed as the new ambassador to Russia. Really, though, is that such a good job right now? Couldn't he find something a little less stressful, like becoming CEO of Equifax?

Researchers in England are developing a system that will let you change channels, control the volume and access a guide on your TV simply by waving a hand or making other gestures. This makes watching game a lot of fun, unless you intend to clap or cheer.
