How to Say No to Comcast Sales
So, I’m in the process of moving and Comcast is now my service provider for Cable and Internet. I don’t know how long it will be that way, because they – like every other cable company – are expensive. But I hate how they are in the practice of trying to push higher, more expensive [...]
99 Problems
A little thing I Photoshopped together inspired by the recent mess with the Playstation Network. Cheers!
Hard Truths: Politicians don’t care what you think
From time to time I become influenced by the idealistic notion that I live in a country where the elected politicians take emails from their constituants seriously. On these occasions when I find myself in that mood, and I find an issue particularly offensive, I’ll take the time to type out a nicely worded email [...]
Sony’s PSN Hacked, Users’ Information Compromised
Greetings friends! So, this isn’t going to be much of a blog post, but I know a number of people who use Sony’s PlayStation Network – and I want to use my blog to get the word out about the recent hack into their network. I’m not going to go too much into detail, but [...]
Launch of Portfolio Site
Yeah, I’ve jumped on the bandwagon. I’m happy to officially announce the premiere of the perpetual beta of my Portfolio Site. Five points to anyone who names the company that I’m poking fun at! Anyways, yes – this is my new portfolio site, in all it’s glory. One of the things that I’ve learned throughout [...]

AT&T/T-Mobile Merger = Cellphone Soviet?
So AT&T is trying to eat T-Mobile. OM NOM NOM. There have been several good articles that have come out over the past few days. Personally, I’m a fan of Ars Technica’s rendition of this particular situation (credit to them for being the inspiration for my title). A lot of people are up in arms [...]
I WANT ONE!
Ok, so anyone who would like to know what I want for Christmas, just watch this video. This guy made a Mario-Style Coin box that spits out coins when you punch it. It would be so much fun to build one of these and just stick it in a public hallway to see what people [...]
Securing Passwords with Javascript and MD5
Recently, I posted about Session Hi-Jacking, which is a tactic for taking over someone’s session on a website without their knowledge. Session Hijacking is one of the unfortunate consequences of not using HTTPS to protect your internet connection full-time. (If you want to know what that is, I wrote about it here too!) The unfortunate truth is [...]
Thoughts on Moving from Apache to Nginx
This week I made a pretty epic decision for someone who has spent a good majority of my time singing the praises of the Apache HTTPD server. I switched to the nginx web server (pronounced “Engine-X”). I don’t know what I was expecting – but the transition was not nearly as bad as I thought [...]
