Off to Missouri I go
Saturday, December 20th, 2008Ever since last Saturday's Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Hak5 LAN Party I've had my desktop downstairs hooked up to the 42" 1080p set. It was so much fun playing games on that huge display, especially FSX and X-Plane 9. Finally it came time to migrate the desktop back up to my room. ...
Agatha Ragata
Thursday, December 11th, 2008I was watching the game play preview of Agatha Ragata, a recent IGF entry, and thought it was a bit campy at first but I could really see having some fun with this game.
Episode 415 - Public Key Encryption, Backing Up Drivers, Hackers are People Too Documentary, and Organize Your Music Collection
Thursday, December 11th, 2008This was a really fun episode to shoot. The people watching at home on HakHouse.com were cracking me up. I love having a "live studio audience". It was also really good to have Shannon take the main stage again. I hadn't hosted with her yet. I think the last time ...
Geek Baldric
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008A few episodes back on Hak5 Matt and I were talking about how with all these wifi hacking tools we'll soon need a geek baldric. Well I recently got an email pertaining to just that. It exists. $80 is a bit steep but it is pretty unique. I'll file this away ...
Which Netbook Should I Get?
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008I've been getting a lot of questions about netbooks lately so I figured I'd put my thoughts, as of Dec. 9 2008. You'd be hard pressed to find a Netbook you wouldn't love for $500 or way less today. Just about anything with the Intel Atom 270 and a gig of ...
HakHouse getting a nice little bump
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008It seems that streaming the taping of our episodes live on Friday nights has spiked HakHouse.com considerably. Gotta love Google Analytics!
Free Manuel
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008I recently got in a whole mess of trouble when I made a snap judgment about one of our IRC ops and have been taking the heat for it since. Rather than go into pages of back story and debate I'll just post the short conversation I had with Manuel, ...
415 shot but not over
Friday, December 5th, 2008Just wrapped 415 and went to Buffalo Wild Wings in Newport News after shooting per recent tradition. Can't wait for a Bdubs to open in Williamsburg. Had a great time doing the show. Snubs co-hosted with me on main while Matt rocked the China set doing lan/trivia and reads. Chris Gerling ...
Video… Um… Professional?
Thursday, December 4th, 2008Today at work I shot video for a "webinar" at my job job. The company has been getting smaller recently and I'm wearing many hats. Sysadmin, Web guy, and now Videographer? Add onto that Hak5, well, doing pretty good I guess. We're heading out to CES this year and doing some ...
Web enabled USB Missile Launcher goes online
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008Tonight Hak5 episode 414 went online as well as the USB Missile Launcher. It lets people go to HakHouse.com and remotely control the pan/tilt/laser/foam missile USB doodad with a live video stream. The Internets have been having a blast getting Kerby to chase the laser. I got a little annoyed ...
