Well, I’m migrating all our photos on our photoalbum site to Flickr. It will take something like 4 days to complete, but it will be nice to have that whole thing offloaded! This picture was the latest upload when I checked it this morning and it is definitely one of my favorite pics. Jaime cracks…

That’s MY 128-bit key. If someone distributes that around the internet, I have the very same legal right that the AACS-LA group has to prosecute. See http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1155 for the info, but basically, that number was used to encrypt a copyrighted work (A haiku) and I was given explicit rights to decrypt the work my the…

That’s the AACS code that can apparently be used to crack HDDVD discs released up till now. The AACSLA group is trying to strong arm the whole internet into removing those numbers from existence. I align with Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, in this plight. The DMCA is getting a bit to big for its…
Why should we continue spending on national defense?
I got an email from my USAF (US Air Force) buddy the other day. The email was a hilarious little jaunt down futility lane regarding the removal of Quicktime from all USAF computers. Apparently there are vulnerabilities in Quicktime that the USAF feels are too dangerous to have running. In the meantime, one can safely…
Geeks ahoy!!
Oh man, look a the neato stuff on the blog! I’ve got a random picture area (which pulls straight from http://photoalbum.theheacocks.com) and a spiffy new poll! Now I can get answers to some of life’s most pressing issues. If you want something answered, let me know and I’ll list it up there… Also, check THIS…
Digg? Huh?
Yeah, I figured I would cow tow to the internet majority and incorporate a little digg love. (www.digg.com) It’s a cool site and has a large following as of this minute. If you like my posts, digg ’em! More traffic = more desire to blog = more hilarity! 😀 -Chris
Time keeps on slippin’
Well, I cannot believe that it is February already. January was simply a blur. With a kid being born on New Year’s day, you really don’t get that “Here comes 2006!” mentality. It’s all about the baby and when you finally poke your head up to see what’s happened in the world, it’s February! shish…
First Dr. Appointment
Well! It’s been a fun couple of weeks, and we got to take Emma to the doctor today to see if we’d screwed her up. The doctor’s exact words were “She’s perfect.”, so I guess we’re in the clear!! I head back to work on Monday, so please pray for the big change as Jaime…
Still going!
Another day is passed! Emma’s still alive and kicking, and we are loving her more than ever. That’s always good, I figure… We had a home nurse stop by the house today. Riverview sends a nurse out after a couple of days to answer any additional questions you might have after having the kid home…

Something to peruse.
Here’s a couple of cool things. First, here is Pi to one million decimal places. Check out that URL, well done. Also, I’ve launched a rotating 404 feature. If you 404 on any of the sites I host, you get sent to 404.theheacocks.com. Now, you can visit there any time you want, and you will…
Back to the blogging
Sorry about the lack of posts, I’ve been busy working with MIT scientists to find a new form of matter. We succeeded, and you can read all about it here. It’s a pretty big step forward in understanding the nature of superconductivity. Good times. I was kind of bummed that that machine on the left…
