I’ve recently purchased the new Arduino Ethernet shield. This new shield has been revised to have a micro SD card slot that I hear can read/write cards sized up to 2GB. This can be useful for serving up files or even making torrent clients (albeit slow). Picture from adafruit.com The first project that I have [...]
Thanks to the new jailbreak out there, my iPhone 4 has been successfully jailbroken. Just like a typical nerd, I have been playing around with all of the cool new possibilities that are now open to me. One of my “coolest” things that I’ve done so far is install a full-fledged bulletin board system onto [...]
A few weeks ago, I took a trip to St. Louis, Missouri with some folks from Mansfield. Check out the pictures here. We went to the Gateway Arch, the St. Louis Zoo, and City Museum. I didn’t get any pictures from City Museum because I didn’t take my phone in. If you’ve ever been there, [...]
iSSH (App Store link) is a Secured SHell client for iPhone that works over any data network, cellular or WiFi. It is easily one of my favorite apps for a number of reasons. The biggest reason is obvious: I can remotely manage my server(s) from literally anywhere. Other reasons include a very intuitive user interface [...]

As usual, I am extremely excited for the Masters. I attend every year, but it never gets old. The Masters is generally the highlight of my year. And this year is no different. All speculation was confirmed last week when Tiger Woods announced that he would make his return to golf with the Masters. Tiger [...]
I apologize for not posting in a (very) long time. I have been busy. Additionally, I haven’t had many topics to talk about. Currently, I’m in limbo waiting for the new MacBook Pro laptops to be released. It is rumored that a refresh might happen at Apple’s January tablet event. I’m purchasing a MacBook Pro [...]
A few weeks ago, a worm that targeted jailbroken iPhones was released. This worm worked by exploiting a very simple security vulnerability. When installing SSH on a jailbroken phone, a default password is assigned and the user is not forced to change it. That’s the only problem. This worm scanned for open SSH ports in [...]
