You absolutely must visit the doubleviking site to read the comments. The first three are hilarious.
I ran across this site today and wanted to share.
thebroken is an underground technology show with a hacker mentality that caters to the elite (or wannabe 1337) computer user using a mixture of seriousness and irreverent comedy … If it’s shady or underground, it’s thebroken.
I thought Ramzi’s tips were especially useful. Very funny … and educational. Some of the videos in the other sections of the site are worth a look too, so check those out.
Learning new technology can be very frustrating for users. Thank goodness for the patience of skilled technolgy folks who can gently guide them along thier way.
Take a look at what I mean here
Hey, I think I’ve worked with some of this guy’s descendants!

US Version
NBC filmed the studio audience portion of a pilot for an American version of The IT Crowd on February 16, 2007. The show will be remade with an American cast, akin to The Office,[7] although Richard Ayoade reprises his role as Moss.[8] Jessica St. Clair plays Jen, the female lead. Riley Smith was initially reported to play the part of Roy, the male co-lead, but Joel McHale was instead chosen to play this part.[9]
Cool!
Oh this site is great. It’s about all the people who have thrown their Wii remotes through their TVs. It’s amazing that so many people can’t hold on to those remotes and it’s equally as funny that the TVs these guys break are the big 50″ LCD kind. How hard do you have to throw a remote to break the TV? I’m guessing pretty hard.
This site is hilarious.
Seeing the last post by Jeff, reminded me of a group of similar images that I found some time ago…
A few years ago an e-mail floated around with an image attachment of what appeared to be safety instructions like you would find in the back seat pocket on an airplane. Andrew, a good buddy of mine, dang near my cousin for life, found the site this morning that some of the contents on the image were created from.
This stuff is hilarious, to me anyway. It appears to be actual scans of the safety information from these different airlines but the captions have been changed up somewhat. Quite hilarious! Good find, Andrew!
You’ll see things like:
The link is http://www.airtoons.com/. Click the images below the “t-shirts” ad. There also appears to be a new grouping of images below these for Government type propaganda.
Until next time…
Caution: Some of these images can be considered distasteful and should be viewed with caution… especially at work.
So Chris came in today with a lo-carb Monster energy drink (affectionately known as “power drinks” to folks around here), and we got to noticing the ingredients of it. I didn’t know either of these things were lo-carb, but…ok.
I came across this video and thought you might all enjoy it. Check it out! I didn’t get on the ‘net until but 1996, but I’m sure a few of you hardcore hackers remember these days. Enjoy!

One day last week I had the opportunity to do some dumpster diving. Every techy, hacker, social engineer, or security analyst dreams of the day he gets paid to do some dumpster diving. However, this diving experience was less than desirable and it was for all the wrong reasons…
I have been working on a DVR project (An Affordable Surveillance System - March 24th, 2006). Basically, creating an FTP server using a Dell PowerEdge 850 and FreeBSD for some D-Link IP cameras, DCS-3220’s to be exact, to FTP an image over to the server every 2 seconds. Everything was going well. I had unboxed and provisioned 4 new cameras and was beginning to unbox the PoE injectors for the cameras. When I was done with all four camera boxes and the remaining unused PoE boxes I felt a trip to the company dumpster was in order. So, I head off to the dumpster with 8 boxes piled from my hands, hovering around waist level, to my chin, used to hold the top of the tower down.
Our company dumpster is surrounded by an 8-foot privacy fence that sits on top of the curb for the drive. That would make it at least 8-foot, 4 or 5 inches tall. Me being the ex-basketball player that I am decided that I would toss the boxes over the fence instead of wrestling with the two latches that hold the fence gate together since you can never seem to get both latches undone at the same time.
