About Clay

I'm a Data Center Operations Engineer in beautiful Charleston, SC. I'm happily married to my wonderful wife Nan and we have an teenage daughter Lela. I'm a total geek. I got into electronics when I was around 9 or 10 and got hooked on computers shortly thereafter. I also love Sci-Fi, (not fantasy) particularly Star Trek. My favorite outdoor activities include rollerblading, biking and hiking. I'm also a bit of a car guy and amateur racing driver.

Groups Slam Data Breach Notification Bill

What started as an effort to address the rising problem of identity theft & corporate carelessness has resulted in a law that does very little to correct the problem. The primary focus, to require corporations to report security breaches, is now little more than lip service as it allows the breached corporation to determine whether or not it’s necessary to report the incident to the public.
