Back in the day, Netninja.com was, beyond a doubt, classified as a hacker website. There was sample code to do nasty stuff. I posted research into Windows security, magstripe formats, smartcard pinouts, and the like. There were even a few dastardly plugins for “Back Orifice” and “Back Orifice 2K”, a “remote administration” tool from Cult … Continue reading Letters, oh we get letters

Windows 7 Launch Party, Service Pack 1
A couple of weeks ago, a friend invited me to a Windows 7 Launch Party, and included a nerdy picture with the email. Last night, I Photoshopped it a bit. My plan is to staple the updated “Service Pack 1” picture to a paper bag, and use that to carry in some beer and snacks. … Continue reading Windows 7 Launch Party, Service Pack 1
Kindle versus paper: a pictorial
I have had a Kindle for a few months now and really enjoy it. I have been reading like I’ve never read before! The size and convenience are great and, for many texts, far outweighs the longevity and space requirements of paper books (even though I love having shelves and shelves of book spines to … Continue reading Kindle versus paper: a pictorial
iPhone Wallpaper Template
I recently updated my iPhone’s wallpaper to something a bit more Halloween-y. Behold: I like to have my email address on the front screen, but getting it to line up has never been easy. With previous wallpapers, I have just thrown it into the image somewhere, but I felt this one would look better with … Continue reading iPhone Wallpaper Template
A tour of my (daily) shoes
I own lots of boots, gathered over the years mainly for clubbing. Some go to my knees, some have lots of straps and buckles, some have eyelets, some zippers, one pair even has 6 inch platform soles. I have six to eight pair of fancy boots in total, but do not wear any of them … Continue reading A tour of my (daily) shoes
I haz a corm!
The squirrels and I, we have a love/hate relationship. In general, I like them, and I like having them around, but I really dislike it when they steal from the bird feeder. As such, I do a few things to protect the feeder, which sometimes escalates to shooting the squirrels with a squirt gun. The … Continue reading I haz a corm!
“Use our brand to build your [backward] business”
I saw this on the back of a van this morning on the way to work. “Use our Brand to Build Your Business.” Let’s put aside the random bold and capitalization for a second and focus on the brand. If you really did use the depicted branding iron, the resulting brand would read backwards. Great … Continue reading “Use our brand to build your [backward] business”
Thx. (1138)
Yesterday, I was doing some shopping that was large enough as to require the car. I parked, top down, in the Fred Mayer parking lot and proceeded to shop. Upon returning, I found this note handwritten on the back of a business card, sitting on the driver’s seat: I should add, at this point, that … Continue reading Thx. (1138)
Photo dump: mystery switch, window perch, bathroom, sun
When my main machine was the 17″ laptop, I had a great system for pulling pictures directly from my camera, almost immediately after taking them, then pushing them to Flickr with FlickrExport for Aperture. The new (well, not terribly new now) MacBook Air does not meet the system requirements for Aperture (I got the low … Continue reading Photo dump: mystery switch, window perch, bathroom, sun
In which I briefly emerge as an extreme LOST nerd
It is no secret that I am a fan of Lost. In fact, I have a whole blog category devoted to the show. Most of my Lost fan-ness is passively listening to podcasts, including The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack, The Transmission, and I was recently (re-)introduced to Delta Park Gets Lost. I don’t … Continue reading In which I briefly emerge as an extreme LOST nerd
