I got to get a close look at the German Enigma machine at a booth at the RSA Conference. Fantastic crypto device! Of course it was ultimately cracked by some nerds at Bletchley Park.

Taking a break from the noise of the RSA Conference floor, so I headed to the old Ferry Building where I had a fabulous Boccalone Meat Cone. I was also able to take a few touristy-type shots, with this one showing Pier 14 and the bridge to Oakland in the background.

Power of Positive Tweeting
Feb 29th
I’ve been at the RSA Conference this week out in San Francisco. And yes, there are hobos and smelly homeless people everywhere shaking their paper cups at me. But since I’ve been here I decided to tweet that I’ve been winning prizes at the vendor booths, with each prize becoming progressively better and better than the last, beginning with winning a pair of free movie tickets. Read the tweets from the bottom up.
And while I’ve been having fun with that, the most amazing thing happened. I really did win something, much to the chagrin to my friends.
Freakin’ hilarious! Haven’t had much chance to play with the new laptop yet but I’m still stunned that I really won a great prize.

The Nation’s Robert Dreyfuss Suggests Blacks and Gays Deserved to Die from Slavery and AIDS
Feb 28th
In a stunning opinion piece in the Nation, Robert Dreyfuss said that AIDS was a result of karma and colonialism. No one would have gotten AIDS if the evil white man had just stayed the hell out of Africa.
Just so I don’t misquote, here is what Dreyfuss wrote:
Maybe it’s too much to say that imperialism caused AIDS. But at the very least, it’s karma—payback, if you will, for mass slaughter, slavery and vicious exploitation in central Africa more than a century ago.
That’s the point of a stunning excerpt of a new book in the Washington Post today. Its point is that the penetration of Africa by Belgians, Germans and other colonialists in the late nineteenth century not only brought syphilis to Africa, a disease that killed countless Africans, but unleashed the AIDS virus, too.
It must be tough to be a liberal and have all that guilt that comes with being white. But lets examine the premise of Dreyfuss’ argument. He said that AIDS was karmic payback. Karma is a stupid philosophy espoused by believers in eastern religion, which is very popular with liberals simply because it isn’t christianity. But Karma basically means that evil things happen to people as a cosmic revenge for sin. But as discussed many times on this blog, karma is a two-way street.
Yes, AIDS likely came from Africa carried in the asshole of some gay man. Dreyfuss says so himself in his article. But was it karmic payback? If karmic payback is in play, then how horrible were all of those black people in Africa to have cosmic justice wipe them out with rampant syphilis? How much pagan worship and cannibalism did those black Africans have to commit for them to be enslaved in mass as part of cosmic justice? You see, if AIDS is karmic payback to the white man, then slavery and syphilis was karmic payback to the black man, right?

Furthermore, if AIDS is karmic payback, and it only killed majority homosexual men, what did they do to reap this cosmic justice? I mean besides the obvious buggery?
Liberals love to decry colonialism, blame whites, and say that bad things happen because of karma. This just proves how stupid, racist and bigoted those notions are.

HBGary Acquired by Mantech
Feb 28th
HBGary has some good products to handle memory dumps and disk recovery of malware, but their corporate image was severely tarnished with by the hack by Anonymous last year. News came out tonight that HBGary is going to be absorbed by Mantech, a large services and security company that operates in the DC area. A Google image search for HBGary shows mostly Anonymous related images, as is the one below:
From BusinessWire here:
ManTech International Corporation has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the business of HBGary, Inc. of Sacramento, Ca. The transaction, structured as an asset purchase and subject to certain closing conditions, is expected to be completed in March.
HBGary provides a comprehensive suite of software products to detect, analyze, and diagnose Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and targeted malware. The company has an impressive list of commercial customers in the financial services, energy, critical infrastructure and technology sectors. The business will be an integral part of ManTech’s broad cyber security offering.
I hope that Mantech will be able to integrate the HBGary suite of products, rescue its tarnished image and still keep the great free tools available for use to researchers and cyber incident responders.

Chardon High School Killer Was a Shitty Person and Poet
Feb 28th
A scrawny kid who allegedly got picked on for being Emo or Goth decided to bring a gun to his High School and prove that he was better than the cool kids.
TJ Lane, the teenage killer who shot two students dead at his Ohio high school and left another three injured, wrote a shitty attempt at destructive poetry on his facebook page foretelling his violence.
From the DailyMail here:
TJ Lane, who classmates described as a bullied outcast, ranted about ‘a man with a frown. No job. No family. No crown. His luck had run out. Lost and alone.’
Local news reports said Monday evening that a second student has died in the wake of this morning’s shooting Chardon High School where 17-year old student Lane began shooting fellow pupils.
The Center identified the first slain student as 16-year-old Daniel Parmertor, who was shot when Lane targeted a group in the high school cafeteria at Chardon High School.
In the wake of the shooting, other students have said that Lane was known as an outcast who had apparently been bullied. He had Tweeted that he would bring a gun to school, but nobody took the threat seriously.
Some say he was a loner, others say he was bullied, and yet another said Lane was ‘gothic.‘ Police say that Lane is now in custody.
The horrifyingly bad poetry on his facebook page couldn’t be trumped by the dreaded Vogons from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
In a time long since, a time of repent, The Renaissance. In a quaint lonely town, sits a man with a frown. No job. No family. No crown. His luck had run out. Lost and alone.
The streets were his home. His thoughts would solely consist of “why do we exist?” His only company to confide in was the vermin in the street. He longed for only one thing, the world to bow at his feet.
They too should feel his secret fear. The dismal drear. His pain had made him sincere.He was better than the rest, all those ones he detests, within their castles, so vain. Selfish and conceited.
They couldn’t care less about the peasents they mistreated. They were in their own world, it was a joyous one too. That castle, she stood just to do all she could to keep the peasents at bay, not the enemy away.
They had no enemies in their filthy orgy. And in her, the castles every story, was just another chamber of Lucifer’s Laboratory. The world is a sandbox for all the wretched sinners.
They simply create what they want and make themselves the winners. But the true winner, he has nothing at all. Enduring the pain of waiting for that castle to fall. Through his good deeds, the rats and the fleas.He will have for what he pleads, through the eradication of disease. So, to the castle he proceeds, like an ominous breeze through the trees. “Stay back!” The Guards screamed as they were thrown to their knees. “Oh God, have mercy, please!”
The castle, she gasped and then so imprisoned her breath, to the shallow confines of her fragile chest. I’m on the lamb but I ain’t no sheep. I am Death. And you have always been the sod. So repulsive and so odd.
You never even deserved the presence of God, and yet, I am here. Around your cradle I plod. Came on foot, without shod. How improper, how rude. However, they shall not mind the mud on my feet if there is blood on your sheet.
Now! Feel death, not just mocking you. Not just stalking you but inside of you. Wriggle and writhe. Feel smaller beneath my might. Seizure in the Pestilence that is my scythe. Die, all of you.
The saddest thing about this story is that TJ Lane didn’t put the gun to his own temple.

Heading Out West But Don’t Know Why
Feb 26th
I’m Heading to a Security Conference in San Francisco and am really not looking forward to all the hippie foolishness that comes with that town- from the druggies to the bums to the Occupiers- they can make a beautiful town pretty ugly. And now this story- a fat bitch death-stomps a man’s car in San Francisco. No, its not Hillary Clinton. The photo was taken just before she caved in this man’s windscreen.
From the SFist here:
A woman described as “heavyset” and naked except for her shoes walked up on the hood of one man’s car, and stomped on his windshield. The man, John Knight, described the crazed woman as about 250 pounds, and he had a lot of explaining to do to his insurance company.
“They asked if the car was on the side of a street or in a parking lot,” says Knight. “I told them, ‘No, a naked woman just got on my hood and stomped on it.’ They didn’t really know what to make of it.”
Is Rosie O’Donnell off her meds?

Tyler Clementi Trial Begins
Feb 25th
Tyler Clementi was a gay Rutgers violinist who hate-crimed himself by throwing his gay ass off a tall bridge. Since you can’t bring the dead to justice, his roommate, Dharun Ravi, is being charged with a “bias crime” for using a security device to determine that his roommate was banging an older dude in his dorm room. This unknown older gay man’s identity is being protected for some reason (probably a school official), but the jury pool has been selected and the trial is about to begin.
From the DailyMail here:
A prosecutor told jurors Friday that it was no mistake that a Rutgers student used a webcam to spy on his roommate’s intimate encounter with another man.
‘The defendant’s acts were deliberately planned to invade Tyler’s privacy,’ First Assistant Middlesex County Prosecutor Julia McClure told jurors to open the hate crime trial of Dharun Ravi, ‘and to deprive him of his dignity.’
Nineteen-year-old Ravi faces 15 criminal charges, including invasion of privacy and bias intimidation, a hate crime punishable by up to ten years in state prison. The case spurred a national conversation about how young gays are treated when news of it broke in September 2010 after Ravi’s roommate, Tyler Clementi, committed suicide.
To convict Ravi of bias intimidation, prosecutors would need to show he acted because he was anti-gay. The trial is going forward because Ravi, 19, rejected a plea bargain offer that would have let him avoid any jail time and receive the state’s help if federal authorities tried to deport him to India, where he was born.
The prosecution knows it can’t get a conviction of Ravi. His co-defendant, Molly Wei took a plea deal that basically amounts to counselling, three years probation, and no criminal record. They tried the same bargain for Ravi. But the prosecution knows it has no crime here. A webcam is a legitimate security device installed in Ravi’s room. There are no laws against “stripping dignity” from people committing sodomy on one another.
And face it, Clementi was mentally ill. The suicide proves it. How can you punish one of his acquaintances for the death due to mental illness? The prosecution is going after thought crime and it simply can’t hold up in court.

Reason 592 to HomeSchool: Special Ed Teacher Won’t Have Two Year Affair With Your Kid
Feb 25th
Christine Powell worked as a Special Ed Teacher so she could take advantage of troubled young teens. One boy, in only the 8th grade, received her special attention, getting busted by colleagues making out with the child. At one point she would drive he and his delinquent friends around in her car and give them get out of class free cards, and let them swim in her pool. Mom finally got a clue that her kid’s teacher was a predator when she found Powell’s underwear under his bed.
From the DailyMail here:
A teacher arrested for having sex with a 16-year-old student was busted when the boy’s mother found her underwear under his bed. Christine Powell, 39, from Middletown, Connecticut, had a two-year relationship with the boy, whom she taught at two schools.
The mother-of-two, who is currently going through a divorce, is also sent the boy naked pictures from her cell phone.
The pair met when she taught him in a special education program at Woodrow Wilson Middle School. She continued to tutor him after he started at Middletown High School, before moving there herself in 2011.
The boy began babysitting her children in 2010. She would drive the boy and his friends around and signed them passes to be late for class.
One colleague visited Powell’s house and found the student and a friend in her pool, while Powell answered the door ‘wearing only a bikini’. Another colleague claimed Powell had locked her classroom door. When she unlocked it, he found Powell alone with the student and they ‘scrambled away‘ from each other on seeing her enter the room.
Eventually, in November 2011, the student’s mother informed police that she was worried her son was having a sexual relationship with Powell. She had found the woman’s Victoria Secret underwear and a class ring with her name on it under her son’s mattress.
When police confronted Powell, she admitted the underwear was hers. They asked if they would find any naked pictures on her iPhone that she sent the boy. ‘She nodded her head and quietly said yes,’. ‘I asked her if it was because they were having sex together, and she said yes. She started to cry and said she was losing her job and going to jail.’
Powell appeared in court on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to second-degree sexual assault.
This child predator should never gain custody of her children. And how is she not charged with way more than second degree sex assault? And how do you plea not guilty when you confess to a cop? How are the other teachers, who knew something sick was going on allow this to continue? Why no charges against them for failing to report their suspicions?

Bacon Bullets and Quran Body Armor
Feb 25th
We managed to get Afghanistan’s population all twisted because we burned their stupid holy books for the lulz. Now they are running around trying to shoot NATO forces and any American they can catch. Here’s what you do. Get bacon-soaked bullets. And stitch some qurans into the body armor.
And this lulzy video shows the technology already exists. And the video also calls Obama a sissy.

Lauren Scruggs Looks Derpy
Feb 25th
You know what happens when models don’t practice all those graceful poises? They get clumsy and have their faces and hands chopped up by propeller blades. Its a FACT. Case in point is Lauren Scruggs who is now up walking around sporting a new glass eye.
From the DailyMail here:
Miss Scruggs was nearly killed on December 3 when she walked into a plane propeller after taking a ride with a friend to see the Dallas Christmas lights from the sky.
She suffered a fractured skull, broken collarbone, brain injuries and lost her left hand. Two weeks after the tragic accident, doctors decided that they had to remove Lauren’s eye.
There is now a new FAA rule that blondes are only allowed to ride jets.

Reason 768 to HomeSchool: Spanish Teacher Won’t Rape Your 8th Grader
Feb 24th
Yet another idiot teacher who spends four years in college just to get a teaching degree so she can go to jail after raping a child. This time the woman is Kathryn Murray in Houston. Houston has a rich history of hiring rapist teachers, and this trend continues. Kathryn Murray went over to her student’s house and had sex with him while his parents were away. The victim’s kid brother blew the whistle and notified the cops.
From the Dailymail here:
A middle school was caught having sex with a 15-year-old student in his home when his younger brother, aged 12, walked in on the pair. Kathryn ‘Camille’ Murray, 28, from Houston was arrested on Thursday and charged with sexual assault of a child. She is being held in lieu of $250,000 bond.
Earlier in the week Murray was removed from her post at Memorial Middle School after a report of a then unspecified inappropriate relationship was reported to the principal on February 13.
Murray went to the boys’ house the night of February 11 when his parents were away after he invited her over. The older boy had asked his younger brother in advance if he could invited ‘Mrs. Murry’ over to the home. Around midnight, according to the 12-year-old, he walked in on the pair in bed. He saw a tan bra and used condom on the floor and the teacher and his brother under the covers.
Life and career over at 28. No one will want to hire this sex offender. Guess she will have to start stripping to pay those student loan bills.

Great News! There is a Sex Tape of John Edwards Cheating on his Cancer-Riddled Wife
Feb 24th
Of course noted Democrat John Edwards is the type of man who would record his own affair on his cancer-stricken wife. The former Presidential Candidate is up on charges of stealing cash from his campaign funds and his baby-mama just won a court case giving her possession of the sex tape.
From Breitbart here:
The mistress of former presidential hopeful Sen. John Edwards, Rielle Hunter has legally regained possession of her sex tape with the Senator from former Edwards aide Andrew Young, as well as a tape of the birth of the daughter she had with Edwards. Edwards faces six felony and misdemeanor charges for knowing about $1 million in campaign funds used to hide and care for Hunter during his presidential bid.
What will Rielle Hunter do with the tape? Why, stop off at Wal-mart first for some Sam’s brand butter popcorn, m&m’s and some cheap chardonnay, and she’s set for the weekend.

Hurricane Grotto
Feb 23rd

Grotto, a photo by FireFlyBuzz on Flickr.
We got to stop by the Hurricane Grotto at St. Mary’s by the Sea church in Key West. The grotto was built after a destructive hurricane and the story goes, that as long as this grotto still stands, the town will be spared a direct impact from another hurricane. And so far it seems to be working.
In 1922, a nun built the hurricane grotto on the grounds of the church in memory of the 600 who died during the great Atlantic-Gulf hurricane of Sept. 10, 1919, a Category 4 hurricane that made a direct hit on Key West.

We were out for a bike ride on Key West and came across this unusual-looking house. It had 4-foot walls made from coral boulders and stones and the most unusually colored blue door as a gateway into the yard. The dolphin topping the round hothouse also adds to the curiosity of this place.

Kim Dotcom Lost Two Pounds in Prison
Feb 22nd
Megaupload’s Kim Dotcom was released from prison on bail. He says he will fight extradition to the US, but has already had all of his cash, prizes, cars, and precious things seized.
From the Telegraph here:
The founder of the filesharing website Megaupload, Kim Dotcom, was granted bail and released on Wednesday after a New Zealand judge determined that authorities have seized any funds he might have used to flee the country.
Dotcom, who US authorities allege facilitated millions of illegal downloads through his company, has been in custody since his arrest on Jan 20.
US authorities claim Megaupload cost movie makers and songwriters some half a billion dollars in lost copyright revenue. They are trying to extradite Dotcom, 28, and three of his colleagues on racketeering charges.
New Zealand authorities have seized millions of dollars in investments and assets owned by Dotcom, including luxury cars and artworks.
Pretty sure Dotcom is guilty of copyright violations in this case, but the idea of having property seized by one country for crimes committed in another is pretty chilling, even if the practice is normal.
