OK, I've done a bunch of editorials on security this week. It's been in the news, it's a new year, everyone's making resolutions to implement better security, some bugs were found, so security has been a topic. Actually it was last week when I found these links and started sketching topics, but that's another story.

So today I wanted to take a break from the serious stuff. I found this link awhile back, Snacksby, which is an interesting idea. It's an idea that a friend actually pitched something similar to me years ago, but she never got it going. So with that idea, this week's poll is:

What's Your Favorite Snack while working?

I know, I know, not a great poll question for the IT crowd, but maybe something will strike your fancy. Maybe you'll discover a new snack from a response from someone else. Maybe I'll get to be a spokesman.

The only thing that I've usually craved when I'm working, and it's pretty rare, is a Dairy Queen Blizzard, preferable something with peanut butter in it. There used to be one a block over when I worked in Virginia as a developer. The team would walk over a few times a week when the weather was warm for a break.

Since then I usually have water and diet coke at my side, but that's about it. Still once in awhile I swing by for an afternoon snack and quick sugar rush.
