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.

Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling
and John H. Brown

Radio Interview with John Brady Kiesling
and John H. Brown 03/15/2003 06:05 AM
KALW in San Francisco did an hour long radio interview with John Brady Kiesling and John H. Brown, the American Foreign Service officers who resigned over Bush's Iraq policy. Both are impressive speakers, and Kiesling is as articulate and as convincing as his letter:

If we can't convince our historical allies that this is a good thing to do, there is no way we are going to be able to convince the Arab world. People have to take a stand. War may be inevitable, but we need to do what we can to keep our consciences clean. There is a policy to make America safer, but this is not it. "America is still the safest country in the world. The administration is trying to scare people with this talk about terror and duct tape. We should use our safety and prosperity and our strength to do good and we can do good."

Brown said his resignation was "in part a result of Andrew Card's comment, 'Never launch a product in August.' War is not a product." I learned a lot from listening to it. Recommended. Requires Real Player.

The John Tradescants

The John Tradescants 03/14/2005 06:29 PM
"A Collection of Rarities" The John Tradescants (Elder and Younger) lived in London in the 16th and 17th centuries. Adventurous travellers, diploma ts, horticultural pioneers, polymaths, they were also collectors, acquiring (and asking their friends to acquire) specimens of the wonders of the world. Their growing collection was housed in a large house -- "The Ark" -- in Lambeth, London. The Ark was the prototypical Cabinet of Curiosity or Wunderkammer, a collection of rare and strange objects. The Tradescant's collection was eventually transferred to -- and some say it was swindled out of them by -- Elias Ashmole, who used it to start The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The Tradescants are buried in St. Mary's Churchyard, Lambeth, now home to the Museum of Garden History.

John von Neumann 12/28/2003 01:46 PM
John von Neumann, 1903-1957 . Today may have been the 100 year anniversary of the birth of John von Neumann (some think he may have been born on December 3rd). Along with Alan Turing and others, Von Neumann is one of the contenders for the title "Inventor of the modern computer." Whatever the precise date, it seems worth celebrating with some von Neumannania: 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111 , 1000, 1001.

John Kovalic

John Kovalic 07/25/2004 07:15 PM
Brief notes from John Kovalic's (the creator of Dork Tower) speech:

• My first game was edited by Peter Jackson. Little did I know he would become such a horrible, horrible figure in my life.
• Physics classes would go much faster, if you sat in the back drawing cartoons.
• My influences are my mom (a columnist) and Charles Schoulz
• Roleplaying games in high-school (loved creating my own worlds)
• Liking "Traveller" is not a good reason to go study astrophysics
• "I'm very bad at the games I drew. I've never won a game of Munchkin - even when they let me draw my own cards at a con in Cork, Ireland."
• "I'm a complete mercenary - I work for anyone who is not a babykiller"
• "I got a call from someone in Hollywood making the Dork Tower movie." *The audience erupts in laughter*
• Chez Geek characters were taken from actual University of Wisconsin students - John spent a lot of time drawing them :)
• "Are you here, honey? [Referring to wife] Good - then I can tell this. I introduced her to gaming via MtG?. I used Call of Cthulhu to introduce her to role playing games. Big mistake! Don't do it!"
• "People ask me to draw Ginny naked. People, I draw them with three fingers - what do you think I would do with the rest of their anatomy?"
