On DC’s beltway, you can easily spot trucks carrying concealed military equipment. All you have to do is to go about your business, and you will pass one or two semi trucks every day, each carrying some big payload wrapped in canvas. While the trucks are generic, the canvas isn’t. You will almost certainly find [...]

When it launched a few weeks ago, Google Health received fairly lackluster reviews. Privacy issues and lack of features were the main complaints. Well, I’m here to tell you those initial views are wrong.

I like him. I think his posts are truthful, and present an interesting picture of a man you would otherwise simply walk by on the [...]

I’m sure plenty of you have heard of the AOL data leak that put them to shame and made it super easy to identify users based on their searching habits. If you haven’t, read up on it. Poor Thelma Arnold. If she only knew she’d be the first public victim of search engine snooping, she’d [...]

At least their current iterations, anyway. Turns out a $1 bumpkey - a key whose every notch was cut to its lowest setting can easily open any lock of a given brand. (You need a bumpkey for each brand/kind of lock). Basically, this bumpkey then becomes the master key for all of the locks that [...]
