With some Photoshop work, my green screen photo has been appended next to a photo of Korean singer Hyori. Amusing indeed.
charlie ticket vulnerablity remains unfixed, charlie card hacked by MIT students
August 10th, 2008
The Charlie Ticket and Charlie Card, the payment mediums of the Boston T, have greatly increased the security and integrity of the Boston T entry system. The Charlie Card, a move towards the new standard of Smart Cards, is very secure. However, with some ingenious work, self named “warcarting”, MIT students finally decoded the Charlie Card, and were asked to present their work at DefCon. The students were quickly sued by the MBTA.

tanya inspires alan to make more video game nerd clothing/accessories/stuff for self
August 9th, 2008
I thought I was cool because I made National Pi Day shirts.
Whilst browsing the interweb, I came upon a Mario scarf, featured a while back on Joystiq, and then recently re-featured. The scarf is knitted by a “Tanya”, as seen in the image above. I remember clearly when the gamer world went crazy á cause de not only the existence of the scarf, but the existence of a scarf on a female who plays video games, willingly, without coercion.
Anyhow, I want a Mario scarf, too. And not just any Mario scarf, the coolest Mario scarf, l’ever.
nbc olympics with silverlight ruins the experience
August 9th, 2008
Seriously, NBC? You expect me to install Silverlight to watch Beijing 2008 live? Why are you ruining the experience?
The Beijing 2008 Olympics is the most televised/broadcasted Olympics ever. In fact, if all of the future, current and past footage of the available cameras broadcasting presently to web and television viewers were combined, the total footage would be greater than that all of the footage from past Olympic events combined. China truly made an effort to let everyone experience the Olympics.

web conferencing is a tiring art
August 8th, 2008
I never understood the point of web conferencing. Sure you get to see the other person. Sure you get to see reactions. Sure you get to point at things. But what’s the point about pointing at things in the first place? I always though audio conferencing was just faster and better.

james while john had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher
August 8th, 2008
The Beijing 2008 Olympics start in 3 hours!
Time to sit back and play with some linguistics “puzzles.”
(For those of you unfamiliar, by the way, “James, while John had had ‘had had’, had had ‘had’; ‘had had’ had had a better effect on the teacher” is an infamous gramatically correct sentence demonstrating metalanguage and the importance of punctuation in resolving lexical ambiguity. Punctuation is added for clarity above. Now try this one: “That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is”, and then the famous, “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” which is correct as it is).

jewellery shopping is always fun
August 8th, 2008
I admit. I enjoy looking at jewellery. But don’t think I’m crazy just yet. There is a method to my madness.
Design is about finding the balance between art and viewability. And that’s the whole point about looking at jewellery. Hunting around for the most exquisite piece of jewellery is relaxing, like finding that perfect spot on the mattress. Searching through the newest Tiffany catalogue, or looking at diamond clarity up close-its all about the hunt. And when you find that perfect match, its an expression of who you are, who you wish to be, and most importantly who you dream to be.
