This has been available for a while but I forgot to link to it: The Shmoocon talks on the One Laptop per Child project. The discussion has a bit of an information security leaning to it given the audience, but it still packs content for people that don’t approach everything with a screwdriver and a tinfoil hat.

It was neat watching the otherwise brilliant Dan Kaminsky seemingly miss the point during the Q&A.

Since I just poked at the guy, I should link to his talk too: Weaponizing Noam Chomsky, or Hacking with Pattern Languages, which I think was really really interesting, if slagged by professional pedant Toby Kohlenberg.

I don’t have anything to make up for poking Toby, so I’ll probably end up being interviewd by him for a job or something similar.

@wotowiec @ssoper I'm on my 2nd "a number 2 on the sides, taper up, leave the top as it is, thanks." I think I'm acting out. It's a phase.


@vurtyou: You're hair is very Flock Of Seagulls today. @grantstavely: Thanks, I like it too.


@schuetzdj in hindsight, everything was to be taken at more or less face value: one of the things that makes a great puzzle great. =] #DBIR

@christopherkunz nice work! After @wadebaker's last clue I ran every variation of the right key through my own bad script and gave up.


@marcusjcarey thanks, I'm very much enjoying the Bay Area. The return of @dojosec/@dojocon streams is great news, I look forward to 'em.


I should use Entourage's auto-capitalization of the first word after e.g. to break myself of using latinate abbreviations. Instead: rage.


@kathybarnett way to go Kath!

@alexhutton I cut out the cover's circles on a full print out of the #DBIR with a razor and tried the grille-cipher approach. #nbioahd


The body language of appearing to be lost or have forgotten something is as effective as mind control. So is its inverse.
