Headed to Vegas for the Week

Jul 22 2012

I spent my flights making sidebar art, I love to make sidebar art.

Made 15, which will get their own post.

I’m headed to Blackhat and DefCon,

the world’s largest online security conferences.

Both those I like very much. But not Vegas.

Excess is gross.

Also, it’s like everyone packs their inner douchebag, and boy does it ever come out here. That and binge drinking. I don’t understand any of it.

TTYL have a great Sunday

I Don’t Go Shopping, I Go Buying

Jul 20 2012

Happens bi-annually.

Around now, then 6 months from now, because those are retail’s “make everything 70% off” cycles.

Right now a proper quality t-shirt is the proper price of $20.

I went this week. I’ve never loved shopping. Much of what you see me in is a decade old. I love malls for the people and atmosphere, not for the stuff.

Surprised myself, too.

Think I’ll wear it next Saturday night in Vegas at DefCon – the world’s largest hacker conference.

Remember last year’s video Inside DefCon19 and the interview series (which is almost edited, and includes the best highlight reel I’ve ever made).

I shop alone.

On the rare occasion I require an opinion, I text a photo.

I have the toughest time finding simple, classic clothes. Why does everything needs a ruffle or pocket or some accoutrement?

If I had a store, I’d call it ‘Plain’.

1 – outfit is sneakers and something I can try stuff on over, thus avoiding fitting room time
2 – I find one shirt I like, buy it in many colours. See first photo as well
3 – everything gets seam-ripped off. Tags ruin the lines, and if you’re wearing anything sheer, you must.

The Bay!

Fact: it’s North America’s oldest company :O

Go to the third floor in the Eaton Centre one… endless labels, open and airy, no one bugs you, massive sale on.

Victoria’s Secret dressing rooms are beautifully lit #NoFilter.

‘Plain’ would definitely copy their lighting scheme. Sales ahoy.

Best 'Image of the Internet' I Ever Saw

Jul 19 2012

(via BrandPowder.com)

Facebook & Twitter, the websites you visit, they’re floating at the top like Google.

Were you surprised at how large the Deep Web is?

It’s also know as: the Invisible Web, the Hidden web, the Deepnet, or the Undernet.

You’ll likely never visit there. The majority is publicly accessible, but not using your browser.

Surfing the Deep Web looks like this.

(NOTE: that’s just some Linux, not the actual Deep Web. Just wanted to give you a graphical example of how cruising the Deep Web is non-graphical)

Remember when that ‘User Based Billing’ incident happened in February ’11? And I made that rant-y video? Fast forward to 0:37, I’m talking about the Deep Web there.

In my sidebar is another “internet in an image” image, it’s black.

70% of The Weekend I Looked Like This

Jul 13 2012

While looking at this:

Non-nerds – you’re looking at a brand-new, pristine WordPress site. I’m going to port KeriBlog over when I’m finished building it. Comments will work again, one analytics log-in instead of 5, ONE SIDEBAR oh guys, so happy.

The red AI – that’s After the Deadline: an artificial intelligence based spell, style, and grammar checker. Check the * box to be warned when your writing is too passive. Seriously. While in Washington in January, I met one of the developers who wrote it; he was funny.

And I’m repeating myself, but AI and mind control and thought-power, it’s coming. It’s closer than you think. This huge shift of the last 5 years when the world got online, it’s nothing compared to what’s around the corner.
