There's been much hoopla about the final rule for credit union directors. I've had friends and colleagues sending me emails with messages from professional development providers--both for-profit companies and associations--touting their solutions to the newly formalized rules regarding credit union directors' fiduciary duties and financial literacy. One question: why now? 

In the past few weeks, I've heard of credit unions blocking their employees from Google as well as url shorteners (tinyurl, bit.ly, etc.).

But it has me wondering: What's the craziest thing your IT department blocks?
