Today’s Byte of a hodge podge of info. First, Microsoft just put out a warning and a bunch of new patches for a few of their products. You can get the technical details here and instructions on downloading fixes here.

Second I have a very fun web site to share. The Star Tribune has a great site for kids on autumn leaves. It’s an interactive guide to identifying fall leaves. My kids and I used it over the weekend with some freshly hunted fallen leaves and had a great time.

Finally I have two great statistics-types sites from Sue in Duluth. Paycheck to Paycheck compares salaries and housing costs for various occupations in metropolitan areas. Childstats.gov published anything and everything on kids and families.
