Dear Flexyorurights.org,
Just to let you know I've compiled your pdf on refusing a subway search into a postcard. I just recently ran a print of 100 of them and honestly I'm not sure what to do with them. I'll get them distributed to my fellow straphangers one way or another. One of the most surprising reaction to the cards was from a friend who objected to them. He asked what propaganda site I got them from that lead me to believe that warrantle…
(The video player wont load from the rss feed. So if you're reading from there, you'll have to click though to the post. Also I ditched the crappy flv version - never mind this is crappy quality anyway, it's using some quicktime foolery so it should even be nice on an iphone - unless you're on edge, in which case your iphone will request the extra crappy version) Update in 2022: I don't remember when but I emailed the guy sometime between then an…
This used to be a normal Citibank. The new name / logo fills me with confidence.

I just registered for the three day computer security.. well Hacker Conference "HOPE: Hackers of planet Earth". So far they have a few keynote speakers listed including Adam Savage and of course Kevin Mitnick. Adam Savage is well known as a Mythbuster, maker, and lover of wonderful things. I even saw him at last years Mermaid Parade. I've emailed him to find out what he's doing at The Last Hope, because while I'm sure he'll find it cool, I don't…
I got a small pack of stickers from The Anti-Advertising Agency. A guy named Steve Lambert made them and he'll give some out to anyone who asks and sends them an envelope. All he asks is that you send him some photos of your work.
All photo credits (she's much better with cameras that aren't cell phones) goto Caroline, who's website is forthcoming.

I've been developing this site for a few days using wordpress and some plugins. I've hacked out a decent looking theme and made it more mine. You don't need to register to comment and your comments should show up now. (Some, a few actually as I asked around got caught up in spam filtering and I didn't even see them.) Also if you have an openID your comment should go through immediately. Until spammers start using it anyway.

I found this piece of music a little while back. You can click the little play button to play it now.
Noriko Version
It was made for a Gizmondo competition by "Noriko" - Composed with sounds of a failing Hitachi hard-disk. I lost his link, but you can probably google for it. It's really quite beautiful and peaceful. Though once I was diagnosing a laptop and this song came on and freaked me out. You never want want to hear these sounds coming from…
Now on every page you'll get a different banner. Every single photo is taken by me (to the best of my knowledge - if you took it that will teach you to borrow my camera!) hand picked out of my gallery and then cropped and edited by me too to fit. I used iPhoto to crop the photos to get the aspect ratio (quick and easy) and then wrote a quick script to resize everything to fit.

Longest I've gotten on this laptop so far I think.

I also miss having a camera phone.
I think the lack of sun has made me go anemic.
Ahh I feel much better now.

PS Me and the sun hung out at the park today it was amazing.

I won't even pretend this isn't inspired by my recent reading material but this isn't the first time I've personally visited the subject of the illegal wiretapping the NSA asked ATT and a few other Telecoms to do. Right now there are people in congress still trying to grant the NSA and the telecommunication companies immunity. They want to go back in time and make it legal. That would mean that if you cared to you couldn't sue them for surveilli…
I've started uploading and organizing the photos from my trip to Italy.
You can see them all or just jump to a specific event. I'll have them all up eventually.
