I'd move into a house that allowed my wife & kids to have more property for horses & horse related stuff
I'd put in a food forest, silvo pasture & raise some cows, & more pigs.
I'd put in a nice shop, wood working, metal working, laser cutter, cnc, 3d printer or 2. that way I could get back into wood working & just play doing stuff

I'd probably also take a really long trip (30-60 days) with my family to see the US,
I'd spend more time with my kids camping, fishing, horseback riding, etc.

Then possibly go walkabout when their older.

http://www.vthreat.com/ was founded, by Marcus Carey, accelerated by http://www.mach37.com/ and recently funded to provide "IT fire drills" to organizations. I'd say if you can get funded & launch a product, it's an important thing to be doing. At the very least have some table top exercises where you or others ask some what if's, then take the answers or lack there of and fix them, and do it again.

Submission + - DNS Vulerabilities NetSec Podcast Special EP (blogspot.com)

tkrabec writes: "JUST RELEASED! Network Security Podcast Special Episode on massive multivendor DNS patch Today, CERT is issuing an advisory for a massive multivendor patch to resolve a major issue in DNS that could allow attackers to easily compromise any name server (it also affects clients). Dan Kaminsky discovered the flaw early this year and has been working with a large group of vendors on a coordinated patch. The issue is extremely serious, and all name servers should be patched as soon as possible. Updates are also being released for a variety of other platforms since this is a problem with the DNS protocol itself, not a specific implementation. The good news is this is a really strange situation where the fix does not immediate reveal the vulnerability and reverse engineering isn't directly possible. Dan asked for some assistance in getting the word out and was kind enough to sit down with me for an interview. We discuss the importance of DNS, why this issue is such a problem, how he discovered it, and how such a large group of vendors was able to come together, decide on a fix, keep it secret, and all issue on the same day. Dan, and the vendors, did an amazing job with this one. We've also attached the official CERT release and an Executive Overview document discussing the issue."

If people were being paid to fix things as opposed to throwing them out and buying new, the economy would shift from good based back to labour based. And we could potentially become less dependent on foreign goods. Unless with our wisdom we ship everything overseas to get fixed and then ship it back because it's cheaper.

EU Proposing Mandatory Battery Recycling 278

Ironsides writes "The BBC Reports that the European Union is working on a directive to mandate battery recycling. Among other things, it will ban more than trace amounts of cadmium and mercury and require all batteries to be removeable. If it passes, it will be interesting to see how this affects such devices as MP3 players that generally do not have removeable rechargeable batteries."
