Quick note on contemporary cop/spy shows

I like The Wire a lot (especially the first season), but it’s somewhat overrated – I personally think The Shield is a better series. Likewise, the British series Spooks is…

    My Password Global Edition

    March 8, 2019 /

    Fun thing I learned today regarding secure passwords: the password "ji32k7au4a83" looks like it'd be decently secure, right? But if you check e.g. HIBP, it's been seen over a hundred times. Challenge: explain why and how this happened and how this password might be guessed — Robert Ou (@rqou_) March 1, 2019 Via Hacker Newsletter

    State of the Art Wetsuit

    February 18, 2019 /

    Most of the comments I’ve seen about this on YouTube and embedded sites are either great praise (well-deserved), or are questions about the black thong/panties. So with no further ado, this is an explanation for them: It’s kind of a clever design because it’s so distinctive and bothers so many people! I kind of doubt there would be so many complaints if the diver was female… Hmm, it doesn’t stand out so much on the gray suit.

    INSERT ANIMAL NAME – Crap coffee

    February 4, 2019 /

    The most expensive coffee in the world is being produced at the elephant camp we take the kids to almost every new year, on the way to Surin province: World’s Priciest Coffee Is Hand-Picked From Elephant Dung So here’s my prediction: What started as civet crap coffee and moved to elephant crap coffee will eventually result in the production of human crap coffee. Because, let’s be honest, Kopi Luwak can reportedly be very smooth (the ones I tried were not), but most people drink it because it’s something new and exotic, and because they secretly want to be like the baboon.

    CREAM Piano

    February 1, 2019 /

    Wow, this title just gave me flashbacks of my Thai nicknames research… Anyway, this piano is firmly stuck in my head now. I can leave the player on loop, go teach a class, and come back to hear the piano still haunting my living room. Awesome. But hey, you know, if you’re going to go Wu-tang you have to remember where it came from as well: We should also remember some of the places it ended up going as well: Here’s more info on how these are related: ‘C.R.E.A.M.’: The Story Of A Sample The Amerigo Gazaway track at top just dropped today.

    The sky looks like a painting. My new (probably fake) Alfa Romeo wing mirrors work a lot better than the old ones. Now adjusting them only takes two tries instead of five (check mirror, get out, walk over, adjust angle, walk back, sit down, repeat). Badass.
