Hmm, today... it was awesome, like every other Tuesday!!! Shrinky dinky dooooo.... lol Well, I went to school... like everyday, we read mice and men... well a part of it in english.... health, everyone started to laugh and question why I put a condom... my condom, inside a pamphlet me and a budd are making, about "sexual decision making." math, it was fun, I got my hands all sticky and white..................................................................... SICK BASTARD, I was working with glue, and tooooth picks... we are making bridges, toothpick bridges :).. anyways, I went for lunch, ate lunch.... Stupid bathroom.. *shakes fists* and *giggles*...

Red Green is an awesome show... Today's episode, I can't rememeber what it was about, well he made.... something.... I can't remember tho, DAMNIT.. I bet he doesn't have many young Viewers tho...

anyways Saw my shrink and talked about "The Hacker Quarterly*2600*"... i'll Put some things that i found interesting *besides the whole book* i love that book and ima only focus on 2 inst tiny comments. ----about a guy who works for an airline company

---- it reads as follows: As one of the poor souls who work in and around the airline industry I can say that that some of your 'selected' process are wrong. You are right that if you see the 4 S's on your boarding pass you have been randomly selected to be screened, but at the same times there are ways out of it. You stated that people are targeted for the types of clothes they wear and the king of hair style they have. This is incorrect. Most of the time a person recieves 4 S's on their boarding pass if they buy a one way ticket *hijackers use this method* or if you pay with straight cash. You can get this removed by asking the Men/women who gave you this ticket, or if your name happened to be someone else's name who was on the watch list. -------------

that one is stating that not always are you targeted for looking like a goof! *sometimes this may happen*.

--Hacker--

It ain't easy being Green. I have noticed through the years how often you refer to intelegent people as "Hackers." Whether or not we have coined the term, it is still spent describing us I don't condemn popular culture for it's misuse of labels as a way to better understanding it's surroundings. However, I do have a question the morily of the publication with such high standards as 2600 *hacker mag logo* using the term "Hacker" so loosely. Perhaps promoting this label is a misinterpretation of what intelegent people do in their spare itme. Please correct me if im mistaken.

* One staff of the hacker quarterly magazine, responds to each inquiry.*

it goes on to how, they say that they'd like more detail. But it also says

" Hackers are are curious and inquisitive by nature and will spend awfully long time trying to find results. That holds true to the people writing programs, scanning for interesting phone numbers, defeating security systems, decrypting algorithms. They are  are all bound together by a quest for knowledge and arn't inclusively or exclusively of any particular age group, sex, race nationality, etc. Technology isn't required for the requirement for a hacker mindset. People that are interested in Stealing, intimidation, bragging, privacy invasion, and other such ends, Arn't hackers in our opinion.
Mas media may disagree since they consider anyone to touch a computer and to do something bad is a hacker.
That seems to be the epitome of a "loose" definition. Of course it's also possible for someone to have a hacker mindset and then user that ability for evil purposes. But when they make that transition, they pretty clearly leave the hacker world behind."

That is a rather beautiful description of everything. And they both prove very good points.
It's not what you believe that may get you searched, it's the stupid clerks fault!!!

A Hacker doesn't disobey the law, but obeys the law. By finding holes, helping people, and discovering.

That would be my entry for today :)!
