Made a reference to a crypto T-shirt today. No one knew what I was talking about. Had to drop some historical knowledge on their ass. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_the_United_States
When did RAM get so expensive again? 2x8GB for $200!?!
Did you know you can get the latest version of l0phtcrack real easy? You literally just go to

And that's it.
Why are the UIs for all chip card readers on POS terminals so uniformly awful? Not just look and feel but visual and audio cues as well.
Well, it's official. I'm listed to talk at Def Con with the other L0pht folks here:
The L0pht Testimony, 20 Years Later (and Other Things You Were Afraid to Ask)
Friday at 17:00 in Track 2
Pacific Rim Uprising was an absolutely terrible movie, but I throughly enjoyed it. I mean giant robots vs giant monsters? What’s not to like? Ok, ok, bad acting, writing, editing, yeah yeah yeah, did I mention the giant robots?
When Amazon deliveries take 3+ days: Subprime
Just self-censord a reference to ‘The Fonz’ cause I didn’t think the recipients would be old enough to understand it.
It is 2018 and people still hold their phones vertical when shooting video.
Damn, Eventbrite sends me an email before I even finish filling out the event registration page. Stay classy Eventbrite.
Gettin on a plane. Burbank airport advertises Las Vegas everywhere.
Reminds me that i will be at DefCon this year (not BlackHat tho). I am speaking on a panel with a bunch of other L0pht folks. Prolly just talking some old man shit. If i drop zero day it would be a total accident cuz I can’t control myself. Show up, say hi!
Took a different road home last night and drove passed this Mac mailbox.
It’s 1am and I am self censoring myself on bird site cause don’t want people to know I am awake at 1am.
Lyft was $90 one way from airport to my hotel, rented car for $200 instead. And got me a cool pick ‘em up truck.

A long time ago my mom sold my old apple ][ c with all my old disks at a garage sale in Maine. In there was two disks with my only proof I was coding at age 5. If you come across two apple format 5.25” floppies labeled ‘Programs’ and ‘Programs 2’ written in my Dad’s handwriting I sure would love em back.
At physical therapy for my broken ankle and someone asks me if they should reboot their router. WTF? Thanks FBI!
For desert: a large serving of your favorite gourmet ice cream 🍨 OR whiskey 🥃? Sorry, why not both? is not an option allowed by my stomach.
Been bingeing The Expanse, pretty damn good SciFi show. But I can’t get over how nothing has any sort of Authentication. Not the ships, not the weapons, not even doors.
Fire at the local substation means a power outage at my house. Interesting that it was listed on the fire department webpage almost immediately but took almost a half an hour show up on the electric company webpage. They both have different addresses.
