Obviously, only Vibram Classic users will notice the little nuance in the photo above.
For those who didn’t catch it, the tab is tucked [mostly] flush to the heel instead of just sticking out. This has been a constant source of annoyance for myself and other Classic users – especially since the tab tends to go off-center for whatever reason when you just leave it alone.
I know it’s just a cosmetic issue… but if it could be solved then why not, right? Read More
A lot of friends have been asking about my new “footwear” – especially since I wear them almost exclusively nowadays regardless of how controversial they “look.” While it’s nothing Google can’t answer, I’ll try to explain what the deal is with these shoes for those who are “tamad” to do the research.
Before getting into the details, let me answer one of the questions that’s often been asked: are they really that good? 1 and by “good” they probably mean “comfortable” To that, my answer would be “depends how much you like doing stuff barefoot.”
Having said that, in my case, ultra-mega-fuckin’ good! Read More

I’ve finally retired 1 And will shortly put it up on sale after I clean it up my Lian-li PC-75 and reassembled my computer with the new case – and I’m here to do a mini-review on it.
It’s a Lian-li Tyr PC-X2000 which I had ordered last April – which finally arrived today… along with their T7 workbench – which I won’t be talking about. 2 Sufficed to say that when I next upgrade the PC components, all the old ones will go to the workbench and be used as a diagnostics/repair machine Read More
I’ve mentioned my general opinions regarding this topic. But I guess it would be helpful to drill down deeper.
The thing that makes this issue complicated is that both sides have their respective legitimate arguments – and the “problem” I see is how people assume something has happened simply based on the possibility that it can.
That mindset, while legitimate to a certain extent, is unfair to use in the field of technology because it is an uncontested fact that any system, given enough time, can be compromised. The goal of security experts has always been to, at the very least, make it extremely difficult for any hacker to accomplish such a task in a reasonable amount of time.
So given the elections, that’s quite a slim window of opportunity to get anything done unless you’ve already got a hack in place. That means the system already has to have defeated from the get-go – wether it by knowing the 128bit encryption cypher, or that you’ve tampered with all the PCOS machines, or that you somehow managed to tamper with all remote receiving servers.
Again, these are all possibilities… but you can see how foolish it can be to assume any one of them has happened based on unsubstantiated claims. Read More

Icons last updated at 06.03.2010
For those who noticed my iPhone; I’ve been a fan of giZ’s Smoog theme forever now.
Very subtle and elegant IMHO. The only drawback is given how often I install new applications, that uniformity is easily broken… and it’s not like the author has time to make new icons for every application out there.
Which is why I ended up making my own, which I would like to share in case anyone finds them useful. Read More
