Well the portable podcast production studio is packed. My portable rig has fresh batteries in it. I have triple checked the cables and wires that I will need and my suitcase is loaded. Homework is done for the week and I am ready to jet out of here tomorrow afternoon and be ready to hit the streets in Seattle Thursday. I'm excited and it should be a lot of fun.

BoingBoing pal Roland Piquepaille says:

I already wrote about roll-up screens for televisions or for computers. Now, researchers at the University of Toronto (U of T) say that, sooner or later, "powering up your laptop may require that you unroll it first." Engineers at U of T have developed "flexible organic light emitting devices (FOLEDs), technology that could lay the groundwork for future generations of bendable television, computer and cellphone screens." FOLED technology could be manufactured using a low-cost, high-efficiency mass production method and products should be available within two to three years. This overview contains more details and references. It also includes a very nice picture of the lead researcher showing such a flexible device.

Hacking An Election

Hacking An Election 02/10/2004 02:41 AM
Nothing particularly new here if you've been following the whole issue on problems with electronic voting machines, but Salon has a fairly comprehensive piece describing the concerns of those who want to stop current voting machines from being used in elections. It describes some of the not-quite-so-secure techniques Diebold used to "secure" their machines - including leaving the necessary password out in the open. It also talks about how comments in the source code of the Diebold machines make it clear that the engineers knew that parts of the software don't work, and yet it was still used in elections. The responses from those who defend the electronic voting systems are a bit scary, as they basically ignore the point. Instead, they talk about how other voting methods have problems as well, and how difficult or expensive it would be to fix these voting machines. Whoever said democracy was supposed to be cheap? Update: Whoops. A new report says electronic voting machines in North Carolina lost 436 ballots last year.

Hacking Idol

Hacking Idol 05/17/2004 02:54 PM

It's great to finally hear someone talk about phone phreaking and other attempts to subvert American Idol voting. Just last week I was trolling the web looking for web-to-SMS gateways to see if one could write a bot to vote-spam an American Idol contestant. To hear that folks are using automated dialers to shut out voters seems even more obvious. They should probably just make the voting a 900 number, at say, 50 cents a vote, in order to limit hackery but people could still simply jam the lines with DoS attacks using dialers.

Hacking matter

Hacking matter 06/24/2004 06:41 AM
I've been reading Wil McCarthy's book Hacking Matter, which is a popularized version of the serious study of quantum dots and the ability to build pseudomatter using artificial atoms. How can one not like a book, which contains wonderful sentences such as this one:

Now we can create not only a thin film of goldlike pseudomatter, but a three-dimensional solid with pseudogold dopant atoms on the inside as well. Thus, we can generate a bulk material with the mass of wickered silicon, but the physical, chemical, and electrical properties of an otherwise-impossible gold/silicon alloy.

I mean - even the minuscule thought of it is breathtaking! The wonders of the universe! How could one not love this world, when so many incredible things are about? This could, and would change the face of the world as we know it. You just flick a switch, and you can make a part of the wall transparent - or a light source - or a TV screen - or gold. Whatever pleases you.

As an aside, I also found another very interesting paragraph (among thousands, but this one has an ominous look):

At his insistence, we filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and within a few weeks we'd been contacted by the U.S. Air Force about the possibility of maybe licensing it.

Note that even in the US, patents are generally considered secret and proprietary, until a year of the filing date has passed. This is so that the application can be amended, fixed, and just being kept secret from the competitors, who might find a way to redesign around the actual implementation (ideas are not patentable as such). Obviously, the military is ignoring all that and have their own informants within the US patent process... Somehow, that does not surprise me at all.

It has two serial ports, a 200MHz Geode processor, 64M ram, and a miniPCI port. Thus, we can give it an 802.11b card, a webcam, and a usb-serial adapter."

Hacking your Car Stereo

Hacking your Car Stereo 06/17/2005 06:10 PM

iPod enthusiast Matt Gilbert has thrown together a nice, cost-efficient hack to get the iPod running directly to a car stereo without having an auxiliary input. He had experienced static and interference when using FM Transmitters or cassette adapters, and this tweak uses a toggle switch and some wire splicing to create a direct line-in into any car stereo.

The total cost of the mod is under $1 (if you already have basic wiring tools and supplies), and it's a great way to ruin your dashboard if you mess up.

Querystring Hacking with PHP

Querystring Hacking with PHP 06/05/2005 11:46 PM

PHP and Standards: arg_separator.output: A few months ago, I went ballistic on querystring arguments. I rambled on about how I hate them and go to ridiculous lengths to avoid them. I think I'm somewhat insane in this respect.

Well, I found out today that PHP can be set to parse the querystring differently using the "arg_separator.input" ini setting. You could have it use semi-colons or whatever, and it would correctly parse the querystring into the $_GET array.

However, I can't see a setting to change the key/value separator, which must have to stay the equals sign. Anyone else know how to change that...you know, just so we can make our apps completely non-standard?
