iPhone Ringtones

And now, the deluge… Make custom iPhone ringtones work with iTunes 7.4.1 Works with iPhone 1.1.3 and iTunes 7.6 as well. Serious frazz-i-delic ringtonage to be boinging when folks call me.

Shake, I’m Radioactive

It’s weird how I am more or less ambivalent about Cory Doctorow yet have posted enough of his musings here that I’ve considered adding a Cory Doctorow tag and re-tagging all the Cory-based posts. If you haven’t read his latest musings on the Guardian on the topic of personal information gathering and unintended consequences, well,…

I Can Has Rezearch Papar?

There was a time back in the early 90’s when I’d sneak over to ESPN’s chat forum while I should have been typing a paper at the computer lab. The pure, unadulterated crapflood that I experienced there was fun because it was so diametrically opposed to the task before me. I never thought much about…

Hacker Crackdown in Audio

Cory Doctorow, god bless his little heart, read all of Bruce Sterling’s The Hacker Crackdown. He even did so aloud. In to a microphone. You can hear the results too. Even as a podcast. And even though it pains me to no end (like he’d ever link to my podcast), here’s Cory’s podcast link.

Texas Shafts Strippers

The Economist tries to shed it staid reputation with a story on the Texas “Pole” tax. Linked here because there are a plethora of funny headlines I could of used to title this entry… Ultimately I decided it best to err on the side of tact.

Son of Storm?

Dark Reading—CMP Technology’s offering for the occasional suit who thinks about security issues—runs down the three biggest bot-nets currently out there. Not a lot of technical analysis going on but interesting in a big picture sort of way. I’m still amazed that Rbot is still alive and kicking to the degree it is.

Public Service Announcement

I was a bit intrigued by a certain referrer in my log file who has been drifting at the bottom for the past week+ but suddenly shot up into the top 5 yesterday. The link ostensibly goes to http://tvsetmp3.com/ but gets redirected to http://ismymovies.com/. The page is constructed to look like it throws a system…

Charles Christopher FTW

A fellow denizen of the network cube farm hipped me to this online comic. It starts here for the moment. At turns silly and beautiful and poetic, it’s a delight to read. I hoovered up everything in the space of a few moments this morning. It now sits in my collection of RSS feeds. Simply…
