I miss you the most but...
Where are you on the internet?
I've got a nice compact archive for the majority of my writings. Inspired by Steve Yeggie mentioning he found posts of 16 year old him on usenet (his chat here), I decided to look into me. I don't think there is a single other place I've written more then…
Full Circle
I'm hesitant to even mention what's going on politically and financially this week so instead I'll leave you with an excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inaugural address that he gave March 4th 1933. The emphasis is mine.
True they have tried, but…
PRESS DOWN FIRMLY, YOU ARE MAKING 4 COPIES
Rummaging though some old files I had left at my Godfather's house (a former residence) I found what was left of my Father's educational folders from my childhood. Why I have these files is beyond me, they seem like something that should belong in a baby …
The MTA doesn't take my house keys
As I was walking towards the turnstiles I dug into my pocket for my authentication. Its the wrong way to think about metrocards but I can't help it. Security, passwords, authentication, identification and privacy have all dug their ways into my consciousn…
The New York Times and my brother
My brother was quoted recently in the New York Times ... again.
"We used their surface and projected the truth onto it."
He didn't actually say that but the sentiment is there. They also got his age wrong. A few years prior they wrote an article about t…
Tibeten Take Down
Story Arcs and my failed attempt.
I had a plan.
- Make the Hacker Crackdown Available as a torrent file. (You can just grab the full download if you like.)
- Educate about what comcast was doing (blocking torrents)
- Complain that while the torrent's flowing nicely a bunch of specific people h…
This was Worth(1000) it
Despite my title referencingworth 1000this photos comes to us from Gizmodo's own Photoshop contest. (Click the image to see more of it). I find this kind of stuff cute, but I think other people think I find it offensive. Not that I'm a great defender of…
Hope
I've met so many good and nice people over the past few days I can hardly believe there is still one more to go. I want to thank the presenters (even the girl who had the Zuse room before me who had trouble with her crowd), I want to thank TELEPHREAK and …
The Quick and the Dead
Dreamhost decided to revert my database back to just before I finished this post, effectively unpublishing it and returning the rest of my typos. I thankfully left it open in a browser on my laptop. So this post is now amazing, not because it's any good, …
Time to listen up. FISA vote postponed until tomorrow.
NYC Subway Search Information Cards
I've attached the front and the back of the postcards, you may use them if you like. The front photo is from Runnx on flickr and I've attributed to him which his CC license requires. I think my next card is going to say why you might want to refuse a subw…
Subway Search Education
This morning I put a few more of my Subway Search Information cards out on the subway. Sticking them on the sides of existing advertising. (I stay away from the maps and anything remotely like a PSA - no need to block any of those.) People always look at …
