  • A new form of carjacking

    Hackers Remotely Kill a Jeep on the Highway-With Me in It | WIRED – Wow. I was especially creeped out by the mention of using the hacked cars to extend the range of the exploit. Mobile botnet!

    @snaxolotl Yes, yes, yes to all of your tweets on here. I’m with you on pretty much every single point (except for not being Indian!).

    @darthted Yeah. Towards the end the author made it sound a lot more depressing, almost like the guy is running from life.

    RT @mhoye: It takes 87 requests and 7MB of data transfer to read The Verge’s 1600-word article on why the mobile web sucks. High fives all …


    @gilmae Is it PHP?

    I still win.

    Now I don’t know what to do with the rest of my free time.


    @200ok Same. I noticed, and I vaguely didn’t like it.

  • Frequent Flyer miles as the new Bitcoin

    Up in the Air: Meet the Man Who Flies Around the World for Free | Rolling Stone – I still don’t quite get how this works. I guess he’s not gonna give away all the steps, is he? I also wonder how quickly his passport fills up, and how the hell the IRS deals with all this.

    @TheRealBnut @i386 I blame the old-fashioned “tonic” in the “souvenir bottles” at the bar.


    @moviemazz “Great paté, but I gotta motor if I’m gonna make it to this musical…”


    @drkknits Welcome back! And yes, crazy person. Stop off in LA for the night or something. 🙂


    People keep favouriting and retweeting my Yarn Bomb wine tweet. I do not think they understood why I tweeted it in the first place.


    @gilmae I friggin’ KNEW you’d do that.


    @i386 Are you not coming in? Rest up!


    It appears @AppleMusic turned one of my high school boyfriend’s mixtapes into a playlist.

    @lahondaknitter I hope at least people will stop pretending it’s “subversive” when it’s being co-opted for advertising!


    @emmasee100 Does wine make an effective Molotov cocktail? 😛


    Math You Can Wear http://t.co/giPNcCry9y – KnitYak is 70% funded! Just a couple days to go. Come on nerds; you know you want a math scarf.

    Do one thing per day that scares you, right? ✔️ 😳


    @lucykbain Another speaking gig! My first that might involve travel. 🙂


    @i386 YAAAAAAAAAAYYY! Tell him congrats. 🙂


    @JennaGuillaume I never did (to my eternal bitterness).


    RT @Malarkey: The Apple Watch has made me want to wear a watch again. I’m just not sure that watch is Apple’s Watch.
