Read MAC disks on your PC

I have to say that this free utility to read mac disks was pretty easy to use. The only thing I did was basically download it, run the program, and drag 'n drop the files into Windows Explorer. That's it.... and it's free

I stopped by my parents house today to kill some time before I had to go into work. Shewas talking to me about things I needed to finish doing to my house to get it together and stuff she wanted to do to their house in the near future. Then she happened to mention a message left for me from a Congressman Thomas Reynold's office inviting me to an Annual Dinner with President Bush. Now first off, how in the world did they pick the people to come? and why me? It is pretty interesting though, I'll probably call them to find out what its about. My dad got one for Kerry, so I am interested in hearing where they are getting the names from. Now onto something else...

A digital home is something that I have been thinking about for a little while now. There are so many different things that I want to do to my house and to put in my house that I felt I could write for days on all of it. Well the story that I saw in this month's PC Magazine was pretty much exactly what I've been thinking of doing and wanting to do. From DVRs and Video Games to Wireless Networking and Security Cameras, I basically want to do it all. I think this could function as a guide and inspiration for all of it, of course I'll pick and choose what actual technologies I would use in my personal project.

Even though a lot of the products that they choose to use in this guide are pretty nice and slick, I don't have pretty nice and slick money. So I'll more than likely begin finding different open source and free software alternatives whenever possible. For the hardware I would more than likely have to see how low and I can and still have some relatively decent equipment to work with.

So I guess I can now combine my dream of an Uber-network into my plans for my Uber-house. I'll provide links later for everything.

I know what I always sit around and think about.... What if they made movies that I like into Hip-Hop musicals, that would be interesting. Ok, I really don't sit around and think about that but I did find something that was pretty damn close and pretty damn good.

Thanks to Muts for dropping through, He's the one who brought you the Whoppix that I seem to be talking so much about lately. You can find him here. I'll be sure to send those videos to you when I'm done.

Man Melts Pot While Boiling Water

I guess today is just one of those days, a day where it is just extra blah for one reason or another. Well I guess it really didn't get that way for me till I had an accident trying to boil water. I know....accident and trying to boil water should not be that close together in one sentence, but that's the way it goes today.

I poured the other half bottle of Drano down the kitchen sink in another attempt to try and dislodge this stubborn clog. I'm really not sure if it is even a clog, the way the water is moving it seems more likely to be a small body.....well not really, but its moving pretty damn slow. Well since I'm getting just getting my gas cut on since I moved in the house I currently don't have any hot water. As per the instructions on the back of the bottle I needed some hot water, so as I did just the night before I put a pot of water on the stove ..... on high. (Mistake #1) Then me being me I left the room and became distracted by computers and video games. (Mistake #2) After becoming so distracted I forgot about the pot of water in the kitchen sitting on the stove on high.... so I left.

I come home about an hour and a half later to house filled with a smell similiar to a factory. As I went into the kitchen and looked at the stove I see an empty pot with a red bottom. I know that's bad for the simple fact that I have never seen a pot get that color before. I knew it was really bad when I picked up the pot and liquid metal came pouring out onto the stove. Of course, when the metallic liquid came out it began to harden on the stove surface. After all was said and done the casualties were two of the silver plates under the eyes on the stove, and alot of burn marks on top. I'm just glad the stove was the only thing to get burned..... but I honestly do know how to boil water. Oh, and cook.

HACKER:

[originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe]

1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.
2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming.
3. A person capable of appreciating hack value.
4. A person who is good at programming quickly.
5. An expert at a particular program, or one who frequently does work using it or on it; as in `a UNIX hacker'. (Definitions 1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them congregate.)
6. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker, for example.
7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations.
8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler who tries to discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence "password hacker", "network hacker". The correct term is cracker.

:::EDIT::: I did not see that this post really messed up the browser under IE, So I changed it.... Should be good now.

While you're out and about go pick up yourself an email icon to show off to all of your friends. They currently have Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, and MSN.

"If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater."

Been kinda quiet lately, I guess that's good.... no problems to report .... Everything is O.K. Well I'm supposed to be going with my best friend to go pick up a dog this weekend. I guess that means I still have time to add my input into the name thing, although any names that I really thought up would either be tech related or just dog. I'm not sure everyone would appreciate "Dog" as the dog's name though. It's gonna be a long trip to go get the dog, but hell I'm all for a getaway even if it's to the middle of nowhere (a.k.a. Illinois).

I need to figure out what I'm gonna do with the other bedroom, my son should be down here at the end of the month and I need to have something in there for him. I either need to make it just a kids room or a room that "big" people can sleep in..... hmmm we'll have to see what I do.

Sweetest day is coming up, this will actually be a year that I will remember the day before its actually over with.

A site I came upon awhile ago that I'm not sure if I mentioned or not: Cooking For Engineers.

Well I downloaded my copy of WHoppix - 2.4 and have gotten to play with it a little bit..... good stuff. I was also trying to look around to find some more stuff on the pieces that went together to make WHoppix what it is:
MetaSploit Framework, Part 1
MetaSploit Framework, Part 2
MetaSploit Framework, Part 3

K-OTIK Exploits & Code

PacketStorm

I'll start making up some videos of WHoppix in action when I get a chance.
