Dear readers,
It has recently come to my attention that there was a problem when viewing my blog with javascript enabled in your browser where you would be redirected to some obvious spam/malware/phishing sites (fake Flash or Java download pages). This was happening due to a third party gadget that was part of my Blogger template and apparently had only recently been causing this behavior. My apologies for anyone whose browser was hijacked by this.
These third party gadgets are submitted to Google and available for a blogger to choose to add to their blog's layout template. All indications are that the blog has not been "hacked" and the problem is resolved now.
Information about this problem on the Google support forums seems to indicate that this has happened to many other bloggers as well. If you run a blog, you should remove the Sociable or Share It gadgets as they are known malware gadget.
