How to Know if Your Child is a Hacker!
This video made me laugh and laugh! I’m glad my parents were never savvy enough to find stuff like this, otherwise I would have been in real trouble

This is a sermon I had the privilege of giving in my local church last Sunday night. The topic was masculinity, and I think it went really well. If you’re interested, you can check it out below!
Sorry for the low quality video! Next time I’ll make sure that the camera is closer to the front of the room.
It’s a sad day for the Internet today. This article describes how spammers have developed a way to beat the CAPTCHA tests used on the Hotmail and Gmail services. CAPTCHA tests are the letters you have to decipher and type in before registering a new email account. These are designed to prevent spam bots from being able to register accounts.
I realize the futility of complaining, but it just makes me so so angry that people spend their whole lives wasting the time of innocent people.

Today I received a pleasant surprise when I found out that my PostACard application won the 360|Flex API Contest Community category! It was a while coming, but I’m stoked to have won
Thanks to 360|Flex, and Degrafa for putting the contest together.
A special huge thanks so much to everyone who voted for me! I really appreciate it! The only thing I can offer you in appreciation is the full source code of the application. I hope you find it useful
Woohoo! I am now the proud owner of my very own iPhone!!! For many of you, that’s probably not a very big deal, but for those of us way down here in New Zealand, they’re much harder to get
A few weeks ago now I developed my PostACard app. PostACard is developed entirely in Flex, and sports an easily reusable movable UI module as well as many other features which are easy to reuse and learn from.
After finishing PostACard (total development time was 6 weeks), I made the source code (both the Flex code, and server side PHP) available on this blog, so that anyone could check it out. I place no restrictions on how you use this code. If there’s anything in there that’s useful to you, then you can do what ever you like with it. You can get the code here!
I do have one favour to ask however. My PostACard app has been entered in the 360|Flex API contest, and the voting to determine the winners closes next week. If you like free source code, and would like to encourage me to make more code and examples available on my blog
then please take a minute of your time to head over to the contest page and vote for me.
Update 02-04-08: This was an April Fools prank.
Sorry everyone!
By now most people have probably heard the news of a significant security flaw discovered in the Adobe Flash Player. The vulnerability was discovered during the CanSecWest security conference, where Shane Macaulay used the flaw to hack into a laptop running Vista SP1and execute arbitrary code.
Part of the terms of the conference was that the details of the vulnerability would not be disclosed until Adobe had a chance to patch them, so we were all left to speculate based on the far reaching security updates coming to the Flash Player in April.
That is, until now! Adobe has now released this video, where some key details of the exploit are explained. Check it out!
