Park City – Day 1
Day 1 in Park City was excellent. The sun was shining, there had been a touch of snow the day before, and we set out to explore the mountain. We got a bit of a late start because the trip felt very last minute for a lot of people. We needed the morning half of…

Airplane Post – Utah Bound
I’m bound for Park City Utah with Brendan, Anneka, Kenneth, Peter, Paul, and Dave (who I haven’t met yet (or is it whom?)). The flight from ATL to SLC seems to take forever. So long that I was suckered into buying 90 minutes of Internet for $12 dollars. This is ridiculous. I know it to…

Tech Weekend – HTTPS Everywhere
To improve privacy and security HTTPS should be used everywhere. It SHOULD be the default option. Unfortunately this isn’t always the case. Even worse, you have no idea what the browser is doing behind your back. For instance – this site you’re reading now is going off and contacting Google Analytics and downloading images from…

Tech Weekend – TrueCrypt
Since I have a BitCoin Wallet now I figure I should probably have an encrypted offline storage mechanism for all the keys and the wallet file itself. If best practices have been followed then your Wallet is password protected already, but let’s go ONE MORE step and encrypt them on a USB drive. So far…
