Let's talk about gun control

Let’s talk about gun control

Thursday, September 27th, 2012

I don’t own a gun. I want one… heck, I’ve made lists of guns I’d want to buy… but this post isn’t about that. It’s about the absolute insanity of “gun nut” types when it comes to even trying to have a discussion about gun control. So I figured, why not take this gun debate […]

A word on US immigraiton

A word on US immigraiton

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

A word on immigration I love immigrants so much I married one! My wife is Canadian, and her immigration ordeal has been a 5+ year process. Many people think if/when a foreign person gets married to a US citizen, then citizenship is just a simple test and ceremony away. That is really not the case […]

Homeowners forclose on Bank Of America!

Homeowners forclose on Bank Of America!

Monday, June 6th, 2011

This has to be one of the best things I’ve ever heard of. A homeowner forecloses on a bank! Collier County, Florida — Have you heard the one about a homeowner foreclosing on a bank? Well, it has happened in Florida and involves a North Carolina based bank. Instead of Bank of America foreclosing on […]

Using mad IT skillz to get around bureaucracy

Using mad IT skillz to get around bureaucracy

Monday, May 16th, 2011

So I got a traffic ticket for not having up-to-date tabs on my 2001 Honda Insight. Oddly enough it was a lack of insight, more of an oversight really, that caused me to forget that I’d not paid for my vehicle licensing (called tabs because they give you a little tab for your license plate) […]

I wish there was a way to rob banks, but there isn't

I wish there was a way to rob banks, but there isn’t

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Almost everyone knows the house always wins in Vegas, but there are a few cases where the house doesn’t win. In some cases, professional gamblers are able to make a very good living by taking the house to the cleaners month after month. I wish there was a way to win with banks, but there […]

Feds push for mobile phone tracking, even when idle

Feds push for mobile phone tracking, even when idle

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

When people think somehow “they” are able to track me by RFID implant, aside from trying to explain the limitations of the technology and the actual effective range of the implant (2 inches), I also point out that cell phones are able to pinpoint your exact whereabouts at any time. Private companies providing location based […]

Full body scanners at the airport are pointless

Full body scanners at the airport are pointless

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

After the shoe bomber we now have to remove our shoes at the security line. After the liquid bomber, no more water bottles or liquids over 3oz. After the underwear bomber, airports are deploying equipment to essentially remove our underwear for us. As shown in these images, scanners are great for catching weapons stuffed into […]

Medical implant hacking... reminds me of X-Files

Medical implant hacking… reminds me of X-Files

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Manufacturers have started adding wireless capabilities to many implantable medical devices, including pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators. This allows doctors to access vital information and send commands to these devices quickly, but security researchers have raised concerns that it could also make them vulnerable to attack. A couple guys from the local University of Washington… …showed […]

Nothing like holiday parking lots to bring out the a-holes

Nothing like holiday parking lots to bring out the a-holes

Monday, December 14th, 2009

This post is going to be all about handicapped parking spaces and their abuse by myself and others. Yay! So yeah, ok, I sometimes park in handicapped spaces… much to Jenny’s chagrin. However, I only do that when I know I’m going to be 30 seconds (dumping mail off at the post office drop box) […]

Release form for RFID implantation

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

I’ve heard a lot of people looking to get an RFID tag implanted by their doctor eventually run into trouble because their doctors don’t have any kind of release that adequately covers the situation. I’ve been asked about it several times but never had the time to dig one up. I was just asked again […]
