I did a talk about Xbox 360 Hacking earlier this month at the HSV 2600 meeting. The talk wasn’t a “How To” it was a more general this is what you need to know. I didn’t want to bring in everything involved because our location is small. I did put together a few slides and figured I should post them here. If you have any questions, contact me. Although you have to remember this was done for research purposes only. I do not condone breaking the DMCA in any fashion.

The other day a High School friend of mine posted some pictures on Facebook.  She tagged a few with me in them and I figured I would archive them on my website and let you all see them.  The fist picture is of me and the friend that posted the pics.  I think these are from the 99-00 school year.  so about 10 years ago.  It was very crazy to see.

What a great movie.  I’m just going to give my rating on the movie, and not say anything more.  The trailers have kept info about the movie on the down low, and I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

This review is only about a week late!  I’m getting better. (One week later)  I guess I’m not.   I’m going to continue to try.

Funny People….really not all that funny.  There were some jokes that made my LOL but most were just dick and fart jokes.  Don’t get me wrong I like a good dick and fart joke but 2.5 hours was a little over kill.   Yep, the movie is two and a half hours long.  That is ridiculous for a comedy.  It was just long and drawn out, Adam Sandler find out he is going to die, he is makes peace with people, he doesn’t die, he make peace with himself.  That’s really about it.

I laughed enough to make the movie worth seeing, but not enough to make me want to sit through another 2.5 hours of it.

I’m sorry have been getting bad with my movie reviews.  Its been a few weeks since I went to see Harry Potter and am now just getting around to posting a review.

There didn’t seem like a whole lot of action in the movie.  I don’t really remember the book, so maybe that’s how it was.  The movie seemed like it was a long setup for the next one.  The OMGWTF part at the end didn’t really seem like that much of a stunning scene, and the events leading up to that weren’t all that exciting either.  I was thinking there would have been more fighting, but again I don’t remember the book all that well.  The effects where good, especially the fire effect Dumbledore did in the cave.  It just looks awesome.

Like I said this movie is really a big setup of the next one which is a two -parter.  I liked the move for the most part, but like every movie made from a book, if you remember the book the movie probably isn’t as good.
