Man, since I've been updating everyday the dates are all off now. It's May 8th as I type/upload this, but as long as no one finds out about it.... er um, just forget that previous sentence.

I came across one of the funniest internet video's I've seen in a LONG time. The Light saber Kid. And because the internet is full of nerds with too much time on their hands, they created a remix version with added sound and musical effects. I haven't laughed this hard in a while :) Not that I've EVER done anything like that... Nope. Not ever. Never ever. Especially not while alone with a broomstick or other wooden stick. Nope.

Here's an interesting article on Hackers and Painters and how we're related. I have to admit I write code very similiarly to how he does it, where you just sorta jumble it all together and then the real programming is in debugging. Of course debugging is my least favorite part of programming, so I really ought to just get it right the first time. It saves time in the long run anyways. But it's an insightful piece, and points out that hacking is a type of art, not just a pure engineering task.

Yet another Microsoft security hole was found today, this one extremelly trival to exploit until they finally fixed it. And this is the same Passport infrastructure that MS wants you to trust all your private personal and financial data to. Yeah......
