One kind of "comeback" none of us want
If you're donating old technology, or just throwing it away, beware. Deleting sensitive data -- your credit card numbers, account numbers, passwords -- does not actually delete them from the drive.
The data is still onboard, and savvy banditos can access it if they get their hands on your drive.
How to handle?
Surf over to Kill Disk. They have a free product that will "kill" your disk, or remove all data. There are two levels: one pass "kill" (free download), and high level, military-style multi-pass, priced from $39.95 to $59.95.
The free version is a no-brainer, and if you're hesitating at the tariff on the high-level versions, we have two questions for you: 1) how much is your peace of mind worth? and 2) how much will it cost you in time and effort to reclaim your life if all your confidentials fall into the right hands?
Can't happen to you? Happens to the U.S. government even; students found sensitive U.S. defense contracts on hard drives -- in Ghana!
You don't want your data coming back to you in another's hands to haunt you. Be safe. Take the necessary steps to protect your identity and resources.

The strange story of Piper Kerman
What makes Piper Kerman's story so compelling? Is it that "look" she has, arms akimbo, staring out at the reader, in her full-page book review in April 2010 Chicago magazine, where we ran across her? Or the Twitter pic repro'd here? Or is it the story in Marie Claire (different tone entirely, more penitent). Is it the unwillingness to bury her head, and life, and act "ashamed" to satisfy society (she got involved in drug smuggling and did hard time -- now she's a communications VP in New York). Extraordinary comeback? Yes, we think so. Making a comeback requires that "in spite of it all" attitude, and Piper seems to have this in spades.
We're not sure, but there's something in her insouciance that draws the eye, and so we thought we would pass this comeback story on to you for your further consideration...you be the judge, meanwhile you may wish to get a copy of her book Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison
