Hackaday Monday Sipping

monday sipping

well good morning hackaday readers. it’s monday. we’re all back at the office/classroom/jailcell so we know you are dying to get a few good tidbits of information in before you start having to work.

got a cat? maybe, maybe not. either way, this guy has a facial recognition door for his cat. insane eh? very cool though. maybe he should use it for humans.

Also, in other tech and hackery news, there’s still some major concerns over google’s way of storing your information and preferences. I can see a cause for concern but whatever, get over it. Not only that, but it’s true that last week South Korean hackers 0wn3d microsoft’s msn site and planted a password stealer. Very nice work.

Also, a new internet possible? I scoff at the idea, but embrace it at the same time. This time, it’s based on RFID tags.

Slashdot also had a cute little link to howto build your own linux distro. hackaday linux? vince linux? sendustodefconthisyear linux? hmmm, maybe. depends how big of a fan of work you are.

This is really cool in ways. A Judge threw out a dude’s DUI charge because he could not provide the man with information on how the breathalyzer works. The company wasn’t too big on giving their information to the state. A new legal defense? maybe. I think we need more open-source things from everything to code to information. Demand it to be public!

And one guy is selling every issue of WIRED on eBay. Does anyone care? Mmmm.

Also, a monday morning wouldn’t be complete without fun tidbits right? So here’s a picture for you to gander at: Pete Cabrinha riding a 70ft wave. The largest ever. Jesus God I’d be scared.

And may I reccoment a good site to visit? PWOT is packed with humor to the first degree. Tons of content and the forum is nice. I highly reccomend it during work or free time.

Now go brush up on Aristotle and enjoy your monday. Hopefully by now it’s a bit better. fool.

Hackaday Lazy Afternoons

Lazy Afternoons

ahh! it’s gorgeous out! I’m feeling better already! Now, yesterday I did my HOWTO on making a geeky Usb fan for your laptop and yes, it’s insanely ghetto, but creativity is up to you! Now because I’ll be having dinner of pretzels ala carte, I would appreciate a steak dinner, but this won’t happen. So I’ll discuss some links instead. Try these out for size:

[Matt] sends in this link to a redneck gentlemen who threw a full sized A/C unit into his pickup truck.

Harddrive stilts are the next big thing. We swear. [Amos]
Grapes in da hous-err, microwave. [je]
AWK webserver. Thats just not even funny. [barbobot]
if you don’t wanna shell out mad loot for das keyboard, build your own [jock]

Do you dare hack a magazine? Teehee.

So the next podcast will start to be in the works Im guessing next week. We love your ideas/rediculous suggestions so keep sending them in or leaving voicemails at 206-888-HACK. If you cant swing 60 seconds of talk time, then get a grip/cellphone.

Also, this summer my friend and I will be working on a Hackers-esque movie. Except with…more humor. So if you wanna echo 23 to see what’s up, lemme know. We’ll throw you in the movie.
OOOOH. And remember that flash-based wep cracking video? Eliot tried it out for himself and it worked….in an hour and 20 minutes. But nevertheless, give it a shot. This is obviously a great find if you’re poor as hell like me and need to leech some heroi-I mean wi-fi.

Now for your very-easy-to-do-hack for your lazy afternoon.

Matchstick Rockets sent in by [weirdguy0101]
Basically, get the following:
1. Matches.
2. Pins/Paper clips.
3. Foil.

Follow the instructions and have a ball. Friday I’ll probably be posting something with the illegal fireworks I picked up in Ohio. So that should be fun for people who have fireworks sold in their state!

Also, the guy commenting on Cedar Point yesterday, priceless. And did my Guinness popsicle link get removed last night so it could go up as a feature article? Please let me know about that one…
