Review: Into the Wild

13. May 2008

I didn’t know a lot about this film before I had it delivered to my mailbox. I knew it was a coming of age story about a man bent on going to Alaska. In fact I didn’t even read the synopsis until after I watched it: Sean Penn directs this feature based on best-selling author [...]

While I’m busy getting back into the daily grind and healing (I had a powered chair lift carrying a 300lb chair land on my foot on Thursday), I’m going to toss you guys an idea I had while walking through the city that never sleeps: The Lightsaber Chandelier. I currently have 4 sabers of various colors and [...]

Because of Comic-Con next week I wanted to keep (for my part) the superhero theme going… and of course other genres of comics (while I can; I still have two days of work before getting on a plane to head East to NYC on Wednesday!!!) Earlier I wrote about mothers being non-existent in the upbrining [...]

Once in a blue moon I will find myself at the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. I look at the evolution of my old websites (no, I will not share the names…) and then I follow links to the painful eyesore Geocities pages. If you’ve been a web sufer/presence as long as I have, then you know [...]

PS3 used to crack 8 character passwords very fast. May someday be used to play games.

That wacky Playstation 3 is at it again. Curing cancer, finding aliens and now cracking passwords. Security researcher Nick Breese used a PS3 to crack supposedly strong eight-character passwords in hours. Typically, previous attempts to crack such passwords took days to get the same result. Eight-character passwords are used to protect PDF and Zip files [...]
