My daughter and I drove from Anchorage to Homer Alaska on Monday.
It was a beautiful drive, we saw snow capped mountains, volcanoes, and so much that was just
amazing to our eyes.  Once  in Homer I met up with one of my favorite former pccrafter artists Carolee Jones. She and her husband, 2 of their 4 daughters (and she has a son too ;)  ) and 2 darling little boys she was caring for, for the day - took us out for a delighful lunch. We went to Two Sisters Bakery and Cafe. Oh it was delicious and the desserts were as Carolee described - to die for.  Over bubbly conversation and good food, I and my daughter had a memorable afternoon.  I will post more photos and stuff about our adventure in Alaska. But we are off today on another leg of our journey - up to Denali National Park.

Favorite timepass – bashing charlatans at Attrition Org

While I am not messing up with my pc, watching AVGN, or reading wikipedia, I prefer to be at Attrition.Org which in my opinion is the best place to hangout after any LUG. For those who dont know about Attrition.Org, its basically a “hobby site” that focuses on computer security and mocks the revered security researchers who are basically frauds with illiterate whoring media on their side.

As the description on the site says -

Attrition.org (http://attrition.org/ ) is a computer security web site dedicated to the collection, dissemination and distribution of information about the security industry for anyone interested in the subject. They maintain one of the only open and honest grim look at the industry, reminding everyone that we must strive to be better than we have been historically. Their crusade to expose industry frauds and inform the public about incorrect information in computer security articles is a primary goal of the site.

My favorite section is the charlatans section of the website, where fake security experts are bashed for their fraudulent actions and other “unethical” reasons. My favorite one is the case of Ankit Fadia, the once acclaimed Indian child prodigy and author(though in my opinion, nothing more than a script kiddie, lots of poor journalism is responsible for getting him the place he stands today). 

Additionally, Attrition regularly publishes opinion pieces such as "Security Rants" pointing out problems with the computer security industry.Folks at Attrition are responsible for maintaining one of the biggest list of defaced websites (though they ceased to maintain it after 2001) and maintained Data loss database which records the data breaches at companies.
