The Third & The Seventh
February 3rd, 2010 11:42George Carlin’s Poem Modern Man
January 2nd, 2010 00:36“I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond!
I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, ridin the wave, dodgin the bullet and pushin the envelope. I’m on-point, on-task, on-message and off drugs. I’ve got no need for coke and speed. I’ve got no urge to binge and purge. I’m in-the-moment, on-the-edge, over-the-top and under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps. I’m a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk, rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. Out of rehab and in denial!
I’ve got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant and a personal agenda. You can’t shut me up. You can’t dumb me down because I’m tireless and I’m wireless, I’m an alpha male on beta-blockers.
I’m a non-believer and an over-achiever, laid-back but fashion-forward. Up-front, down-home, low-rent, high-maintenance. Super-sized, long-lasting, high-definition, fast-acting, oven-ready and built-to-last! I’m a hands-on, foot-loose, knee-jerk head case pretty maturely post-traumatic and I’ve got a love-child that sends me hate mail.
But, I’m feeling, I’m caring, I’m healing, I’m sharing– a supportive, bonding, nurturing primary care-giver. My output is down, but my income is up. I took a short position on the long bond and my revenue stream has its own cash-flow. I read junk mail, I eat junk food, I buy junk bonds and I watch trash sports! I’m gender specific, capital intensive, user-friendly and lactose intolerant.
I like rough sex. I like tough love. I use the “F” word in my emails and the software on my hard-drive is hardcore–no soft porn.
I bought a microwave at a mini-mall; I bought a mini-van at a mega-store. I eat fast-food in the slow lane. I’m toll-free, bite-sized, ready-to-wear and I come in all sizes. A fully-equipped, factory-authorized, hospital-tested, clinically-proven, scientifically- formulated medical miracle. I’ve been pre-wash, pre-cooked, pre-heated, pre-screened, pre-approved, pre-packaged, post-dated, freeze-dried, double-wrapped, vacuum-packed and, I have an unlimited broadband capacity.
I’m a rude dude, but I’m the real deal. Lean and mean! Cocked, locked and ready-to-rock. Rough, tough and hard to bluff. I take it slow, I go with the flow, I ride with the tide. I’ve got glide in my stride. Drivin and movin, sailin and spinin, jiving and groovin, wailin and winnin. I don’t snooze, so I don’t lose. I keep the pedal to the metal and the rubber on the road. I party hearty and lunch time is crunch time. I’m hangin in, there ain’t no doubt and I’m hangin tough, over and out!”

Hack42, hackerspace in Arnhem, in oprichting
December 9th, 2009 09:51Ik ben begonnen met de oprichting van een hackerspace in Arnhem, gedoopt hack42.We zijn opzoek naar leden, schrijf je in op http://hack42.nl en abonneer je op de mailinglist.
We hebben nu een tweewekelijkse meet & greet bij een van de aspirant-leden, je bent van harte welkom, zie de wikipagina Bijeenkomst voor meer informatie.
Van Wikipedia:
Activiteiten in Hackerspace zijn oa.
- Bijleren en kennis delen
- Presentaties en lezingen
- sociale activiteiten zoals spelletjes en feestjes.
- Werken aan eigen en gemeenschappelijke projecten
Hackerspaces zorgen voor de nodige infrastructuur: kamers, eten en drank, stroom, computers, servers, netwerk met internet-link, audio-apparatuur, projectoren, spelletjesconsoles, soldeergerief en een hoop andere tools.
Wat er gedaan wordt is slechts beperkt door het aanwezige materiaal. Naarmate het aantal Hackerspaces groeit en ook het ledenaantal groter wordt is, worden de mogelijkheden groter.
Somebody seems to be phishing for twitter-accounts

Phishing for twitter accounts
It looks like someone is phishing for twitter accounts via some weird IQ-test “thingy”. I got these messages as a Direct Message. Users beware! Do not fill in your twitter credentials on these sites!
Sending these messages via DM makes them invisible for the regular twitter search.
