It was a moment hackers around the world dream of—a tool that could give them unimaginable power. But maybe it was best simply to close his laptop and forget it. He could pretend he hadn't just stumbled over a skeleton key to the Net. Life would certainly be less complicated. If he stole money, he'd risk prison. If he told the world, he'd be the messenger of doom, potentially triggering a collapse of Web-based commerce.
But who was he kidding? He was just some guy. The problem had been coded into Internet architecture in 1983. It was 2008. Somebody must have fixed it by now. He typed a quick series of commands and pressed enter. When he tried to access the Fortune 500 company's Web site, he was redirected to an address he himself had specified.
"Oh shit," he mumbled. "I just broke the Internet."
I missed this race as I was taking an online quiz but holy hell what a race, Hamilton wins by 1 point on the last lap of the last race of the year. Congrats to Lewis, the youngest and the first black driver to win Formula 1

Senator Barack Obama is the democratic nominee for President of the United States of America.
The tide is turning.
Harm me with harmony.
Doomsday, drop a load on 'em.
Entropy, how can I explain it? I'll take it frame by frame it,
to have you all jumping, shouting saying it.
Let's just say that it's a measure of disorder,
in a system that is closed, like with a border.
It's sorta, like a, well a measurement of randomness,
proposed in 1850 by a German, but wait I digress.
"What the fuck is entropy?", I here the people still exclaiming,
it seems I gotta start the explaining.
You ever drop an egg and on the floor you see it break?
You go and get a mop so you can clean up your mistake.
But did you ever stop to ponder why we know it's true,
if you drop a broken egg you will not get an egg that's new.
That's entropy or E-N-T-R-O to the P to the Y,
the reason why the sun will one day all burn out and die.
Order from disorder is a scientific rarity,
allow me to explain it with a little bit more clarity.
Did I say rarity? I meant impossibility,
at least in a closed system there will always be more entropy.
That's entropy and I hope that you're all down with it,
if you are here's your membership.
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
Yeah, you know me!
Yeah, you know me!
Who's down with entropy?
Every last homey!
Defining entropy as disorder's not complete,
'cause disorder as a definition doesn't cover heat.
So my first definition I would now like to withdraw,
and offer one that fits thermodynamics second law.
First we need to understand that entropy is energy,
energy that can't be used to state it more specifically.
In a closed system entropy always goes up,
that's the second law, now you know what's up.
You can't win, you can't break even, you can't leave the game,
'cause entropy will take it all 'though it seems a shame.
The second law, as we now know, is quite clear to state,
that entropy must increase and not dissipate.
Creationists always try to use the second law,
to disprove evolution, but their theory has a flaw.
The second law is quite precise about where it applies,
only in a closed system must the entropy count rise.
The earth's not a closed system' it's powered by the sun,
so fuck the damn creationists, Doomsday get my gun!
That, in a nutshell, is what entropy's about,
you're now down with a discount.
You down with entropy?
Yeah, you know me!
Yeah, you know me!
Yeah, you know me!
Who's down with entropy?
Every last homey!
Hit it!
Doomsday, kick it in!
The newest and rarest group, AB, only appeared between 1000 and 500 years ago, and is believed to have occurred as a response to the mixing of existing blood groups on a major scale. Pretty cool. I can receive blood from everyone but can only give to my fellow ABs. So in addition to extra teeth which is also pretty rare, I'm part of the rarest blood group. Me likes.
I haven't had a chance to post in a while with work and summer school going on, anyway here's mr. awesome from the awesome movie "King of Kong." If you haven't seen it then rent it today!
Back to the office tomorrow and if only David Brent was my boss I would never miss a day.
My gf got me hooked up with FlyTunes and it's so sweet. Who knew you could listen to internet radio on your ipod; from trance and comedy to sports and old time radio theather, as long as you have wifi you are good. I highly recommend it.
I really believe water will play a very important part in the coming decades as regards to war, etc. As the world's population swells to unsustainable levels, fresh water will be less available and thus it's not far reaching to think that corporations will be the suppliers...meaning? Conflict. Read some more here.
It's always been a fun hobby of mine to try to place today's events in terms of myths and legends and story and there is not a more natural pocket for this than politics. This piece from Newsweek is pretty good in that regard.
Obama taking it to the GOP, giving his speech at the venue where the repubs will officially crown McCain this summer, in St. Paul, Minny.
MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) -- A car plowed into a weekend bike race along a highway near the U.S.-Mexico border, killing one and injuring 10 others, police said. The 28-year-old driver was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into the race, said police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez.
Cool, my very first blog entry.
Memorial Day weekend has come to a close and it was just splendid out in NYC. Been busy helping my gf pack for her big move out to Rockaway but did manage to hang out and also celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge.
I guess I will get into more about myself, etc in later entries. Until then,
Goodnight and good luck.
