My name is David Pierce, and I’m a student at the University of Virginia. I’m something of a web nerd- particularly when it comes to blogs and technology. I read them, I comment- it’s a little sad. What I want to do with this blog, though, is make it something for everyone. I like sports, technology, politics, all kinds of things. I might be self-indulgent in doing this, but I want to see who else out there shares my interests. I’ll be posting things I come across that I think are worth noting, and my hope is to over time develop enough of a community here that we can foster real discussion. Some of it will be “which new cell phone is the coolest?” and some will be more serious. I’m new to this, so bear with me, and hopefully we’ll have some fun!

Here’s my first topic of the day: I came across this on the New York Times website today. It seems that in a contest between a number of different computers, a Mac was the first to get hacked, in 2 minutes. For all the flak given to Windows, at least they held out longer. I wonder if, as Macs gain more market share, they’ll end up in the same boat as Windows. Does Windows get exploited more just because more people use Windows?
