Diary of a Network Geek

If  you read my blog, you love Star Wars.

Well, if you don't *love * it, you at least know it and appreciate it on its technical merits.
But, you should love it.
And, it's Friday, so you know I'm going to link to something pretty cool, right?
So, yeah, go look at these insanely detailed Star Wars dioramas at Kotaku.

I told you Macs weren't safe!

I can think of nothing more appropriate for a Friday the Thirteenth post.

Now, this is what I call a "safe house"!

The myth of an operating system that is somehow safe from virii or malware is being busted.

I think the title sums this up pretty well:
A video of a creepy, animatronic eyeball.
I think the blinking is what really weirds me out.  Or the crazy detail on the graphics on the eyeball itself.

Also?  I think every security camera out in public should have one of these on it.  You know, to remind us that Big Brother really is watching!
Enjoy your Friday Freakout!

How much money have you spent on gadgets?

No, really, free and legal.

Okay, granted, it's probably music from indy bands that you've never heard of before, but, hey, it's free.  And?  You have the joy of knowing that you'll be discovering bands that your hipster friends have never heard of before.  For real.  Also, did I mention that it's free and legal?  Yeah, so, why not go check it out.
The site is Epitonic.com

C'mon, it's Friday and not like you were really working anyway....

Yeah, I know.  I'm way too obsessed with the end of the world.

But, just you wait!  When you're out there wandering the blasted wastelands, you'll wish you knew me THEN!
In the meantime, why not check out what the Air Force has to say about the end of the world from the Perlinger Archive via IO9.com (Incidentally, that link will bring you to a movie that's so old it's in an internet archive.  Yeah, that's old.)

Apparently, it's been a problem since 1922.

No, really, this isn't an April Fool's joke.
Seriously, a paper reported on the problem of Global Warming in 1922.  Specifically, how the Arctic Ocean has been warming and there are fewer icebergs.

No joke.
