we have all done it, waiting at the cross walk and just pushed the walk button repeatedly and someone will tell you that pushing it more than once won’t make a difference but you do it anyway cause it makes you feel better. Well guess what, pushing the button in a systematic pattern will actually make it go faster!

A Kansas City hacker group called Cross Anytime have released a 3685 cheat list of codes that you can press that will allow you to cross the street faster. These guys did it by social engineering, reverse engineering, and good ol brute force!

Sadly their site Cross Walk Button Hacks has been taken down by the FBI stating it violates the DMCA cause it cane be used for terrorist acts.

I dont know what they are thinking that FBI, dont they know that arabs don’t walk we drive everywhere, just look at the traffic in our cities! What terrorist is going to sit in from of a pedesterian cross walk pushing buttons when he can just park his car in the middle of the street Kuwaiti style honking for the bagala (convient store) guy to come out and give him cigarettes!

Anyway hope they relase those hacks soon, they would be really cool to have.

This is one of the most beutiful hack/designs I have ever seen. It bring together the outside world. The system is having a bunch of opitcal fiber wires streaming light from the outside to a table, thus providing natural sunlight.

Having it on a table is a simple idea, but this could replace skylights. Imagine your bedroom ceiling with these things, you could wake up to natural sunlight, and same can go with living spaces. Yuo could easily create this natural ambient light. I am really fascinated with the possibilities of this and just thinking of house designs that could implement it. Oh wow it would be great in basements and underground areas aswell.

Join this thing called it is pretty cool you can say if the places you visited are worth visiting or not and write something about them, and check out the places you want to visit.

Finally done with my ISO:9001:2000 Lead Auditor class. It was a great time and very educational, really taught me a lot about the ISO philosophy and the reasons behind it.I always thought it was about paperwork and other random documentation but thats just a small part of it. The best way I can explain it is that is about getting quality from your work to better serve your customers. I know that sounds generic and silly but when you get in to it, it does work.

You create an environment with ISO that allows your customers, works and management communicate better and in practice create a better product that meets customer satisfaction.

Suck never Sucked.

I love IRC. It really is one of the greatest mediums that has survived the longest in this internet technology sector, its the best social network system, blogging system, bookmark system.

Considering to take the additional classes to become an ISO auditor.

You know you’re addicted to blogging if:

If you can’t access the site, you have a minor freak out - and a major case of hitting reload.

You found yourself composing journal entries during dates, movies, etc.

When you’re out, you suddenly think of a witty reply to a comment somebody made to you… several days ago.

You’ve downloaded some sort of program which has only the purpose of making entries easier to write without going on the site manually.

You consider it a great offense if someone deletes you off their friend’s list.

The first thing you do every day when you go online is check your friends journals - even before checking your email.

When your friends ask what’s new, you get mad at them because you already wrote it in your blog and they didn’t check it yet.

You can’t seem to call your friends by their real names.

You have written posts to notify people you’re going to sleep.

You talk about your blog friends to your real life friends all the time… like they’re a part of your group.

You’ve created a blog community, and people actually post in it.

You’ve been recognized in real live by a fellow blogger.

Instead of doing research, you post difficult questions on your blog.

You’ve stopped being friends with someone in real life because of something they’ve said on their blog.

You have consoled yourself after a horrible day thinking “At least this will make a great post”

You’re jealous of people who have more friends and / or comments than you.

You have written a really great, solid post - only to be disappointed by the lack of good comments.

You’re guilty of commenting excessively to get more traffic to your journal.

You give shout outs to all your blog friends on their birthdays.

You have an additional, secret journal that hardly anyone knows about.

You have gotten mean anonymous comments (bonus points for figuring out who it was via their IP)

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are blog addicts.

Oh and 99.7 suck! On an odd chance this morning I tuned to it & they played 3 crappy country songs in a row.
