Your Facebook data at work


Thanks for this wonderful marketing information Facebook. I’ll be sure to let the corner stores know to put 3OH!3 albums nearby Skittles.

On a side note: Page data is easily viewable by just about anyone on Facebook. See what can be determined with it? Correlation != Causation, but most people who like 3OH!3 honestly do like Skittles.

The wonders of long distance WiFi adapters..

Successful holiday’s this year, actually managed to pick up a nice and powerful WiFi adapter with a wonderful antenna to wardrive (NOT piggyback) with. Only been out for one session so far, but still some of these access point names amused me.

  • unknown_virus
  • donthackme
  • Hidden

And some disappointed me. Like honestly, >5 unencrypted linksys routers in a 3 mile radius? Not good folks!

CADIE – Google’s April Fools joke

This morning, when I arrived at Google’s home page, I noticed they supposedly had a new project released. So I clicked and checked it out.

Turned out to be Google’s supposed “AI” CADIE. Though I personally have several reasons as to why this is fake…

1) Look at the time-stamp on the page. Doesn’t “March 31st, 2009 11:59:59 pm” seem a little suspicious?

2) CADIE’s blog has very cheesy content on it

3) It just popped up today. Guess what day today is?

4) Google is known for pulling April Fools hoax’s. Remember TISP?

Probably a little too extreme this time to trick many users Google, but still amusing.

Attention dogs

Found this while stopping for lunch today. I think it speaks for itself.
