Think somebody hacked the dentist sign at the end of my road.
Wish I could say this was the weirdest part of my run today.
Six blocks later, a young guy jumped in front of me and demanded my headphones and running shoes.
Threatened me with what appeared to be a sandwich.
I said, No.
Sheesh...

Hacking is a factor in democratic processes that must be addressed - fake news, invasion of privacy, ... who could count the wys? Technology change must be a part of the future evolution of democracy. Right now Electronic voting machines count about 87% of the votes cast in America today. But are they reliable? Are they safe from tampering? From a current congressional hearing to persistent media reports that suggest misuse of data and even outright fraud, concerns over the integrity of electronic voting are growing by the day. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is America's democracy. Democracy must evolve!
The near wagon is one that I have shot before. It is a Hack Passenger Wagon c. 1862 that is in the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History collection. It was manufactured by Abbot-Downing Co. Concord, New Hampshire
This four passenger wagon is the smallest of the Hack Passenger Wagons. The lighter versions of the East were called Concord Coaches. The heavy version, suited for the rough conditions of the West, was often called a "mud wagon" or "the poor man's Concord". The leather suspension system gave a ride that was smooth by the day's standards.
This coach belonged to Petra Vela Kenedy, wife of Mifflin Kenedy. Mr. Kenedy built a ranching empire in South Texas in the mid-19th century. By the time of Mrs. Kenedy's death in 1885, the ranch comprised 390,000 acres. This coach was most likely the preferred mode of transportation for Mrs. Kenedy, who traveled frequently from the La Parra Ranch in Kenedy County to the Kenedy home on the bluff in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Looking towards Hackness during sunset. Hackness is a small village just outside Scarborough of which I often cycle through but have never photographed before.
For this image I used HDR because either the foreground was too dark or the sky was blown out. Used 0.9 and 0.6 ND grad to try and reduce the contrast between the two. In the end I ended up using a series of 5 different exposures and the ND grads.
After a busy day sorting out a hacked email account thought this would be a good idea, not realising how time consuming this would be to process

The great thing about the company work train is is still sports a caboose. In this case it is an ex-CN Hack that brings up the rear.
Iris is spunky hacker who loves using her custom multi-function prosthetic to cause chaos for the crime syndicates and corrupt law enforcement in the Layered City.
Iris prefers to use her hacking and programming skills to support Ode's team from the background. Iris has spent months implanting malware in the Layered City's computer system, and she uses the holo-computer built into her arm to exercise near absolute control over the city's many automated functions.
When she is forced to engage in combat, Iris has an emergency set of Phase-Tech claws and a Plasma beam emitter built into her arm.
Iris fills an invaluable role on Ode's team, and her upbeat attitude and general positivity keep her team's spirit high. While she appears to support Ode's goal of ridding the Layered City of corruption, it is unclear if she has an ulterior motive. She is incredibly secretive about her past and how she became such a proficient hacker without detection.
Build Notes:
This one was an adventure. The concept for "Hacker Girl" started with the mechanical arm with the computer built in. The colors and hair for her changed a bunch when I was working on her (RIP purple shoes). A lot of the decisions of the appearance of this character were made based on parts limitations (the crop top for example was because I ran out of black curved slopes half way through building the shirt). The end result is really flexible and can hold lots of dynamic poses. As always, face and some of the hair design by Eero Okkonen. I promise I'll quit ripping off his stuff eventually.
As many of you have pointed out, I have tortured and abused Peeps in the most vile ways. Let it be said, I did so with the purest of intents, in the name of science, and let us be done with the incriminations. I have tried my best to study these squishy little Easter creatures to find out what makes them so appealing. They are cute. They have longevity, with the power to reappear year, after year, after bloody year. They are slowly taking on every colour in a sixty-four box of Crayola crayons, which as a side note are quite edible, even though one should not eat their crayons. If you find yourself shipwrecked at sea, enough of them tied together could be used as a flotation device, until you are rescued or eaten by a shark; the shark having the good sense to eat only what is edible, leaving the peeps raft behind. As one last experiment, I prepared a salad and before I could finish off my greens, I doused it with my favourite ranch dressing......still, it is totally inedible. Sigh.....
Disclaimer: No Peeps were harmed in the taking of these images. Well....except for the one I hacked apart with the knife AND the one I squished with a brick AND maybe this one drowned by ranch dressing, BUT no others.....trust me.....
Happy Easter, Everyone :-))
Front view of hacked Instax. Added an old agnar to the front. Replaced electronics with a simple relay.
Following the rise of Proxies, most operators lacked the network infrastructure to conduct long range remote operations with their robotic avatars. As a solution, hackers began constructing their own networks of relays, utilizing decommissioned orbital satellite systems and abandoned radio towers. For a while, their activities remained discreet and unnoticed.
Soon, however, instances of ‘satellite jockeying’ were reported on active government and corporate satellite arrays. Attempts were made to restrict the networks, while authorities went to work tracking down and penalizing anyone caught in the act, disrupting proxy operations worldwide.
At the same time, local and federal governments around the world began heavily regulating the burgeoning proxy and remote presence movements. These included mandating licenses, permits, taxes, and a myriad of other bureaucratic red tape.
These tensions slowly built into a tinderbox within the proxy community, and many were more than willing to set it off. This culminated into what became known as ‘The Orbit Wars’, an extended period of social unrest and cyberwarfare between pro-proxy groups, corporate lobbyists, and numerous government agencies around the world. This ranged from petty civil disobedience and armed standoffs to full scale targeted cyberattacks. Disabling of network infrastructure and jamming were common on both sides. Many high-profile hackers made their mark in these years, most notably the infamous ‘Fabled Three’.
Eventually, tensions simmered as organizations attempted to appease and accommodate proxy operations. Bandwidth was partitioned to private networks, while private aerospace corporations stepped in to feed the market gap by establishing their own dedicated ‘for-lease’ satellite grids. Meanwhile, regulations on proxy operations were rolled back, though not by much.
Many veteran proxy operators still feel the heat of those days, and the distrust and ire toward authority never fully went away. Wary of government or corporate outlets, many prefer to stick with the ‘old fashioned’ means of decentralized homemade meshnets and third-party software.

Seven seas, four billion IPs!
Platoons full of soldiers identical to me!
I can chop at the root, like the base of life's tree
Try to drop but they shoot fire shots at high speed!
Some like it hot, others screaming “WHY ME?!”
Tie the knot, you're engaged to this future like me!
Its more than foreign war, we're assured to die free
Hordin' for another tour, not the kind you sight-see!
Type keys; clear the channel history!
I SPEAK; condition anonymity!
Wide screens; projecting all the imagery
Behind these high beams to display the setting visibly!
Cold in this winter see the steam from when I breathe
Agents of these ministries lock us in this freeze!
The fight rages on while the victims mourn and grieve
The internet's the battlefield, believe we're under siege!
This is hostile!!
Never backing down!
Scorched earth policies, I'm standing my ground!
Remember and respect to the message we're bound
The path is so dangerous to find a way around
This is hostile!!
We're never backing down!
Facing scorched earth policies we're standing our ground!
Never will forget to the message we're bound
The path is too dangerous to find a way around

YOU CAN SEE WHY THIS WAS TAKING SO LONG
Yeah, this image is just caked in edgy inflammatory symbolism. At the same time, I'm outrageously proud of how it turned out
I mean, it was briefly touched upon in the previous part, so that was good enough to do a whole lore piece on it. Where else am I gonna fit it in? :/
Pretty much just laying out the culture and political climate of the Proxy universe.
If you fave, comment as well!
Miles and I had a cheery trip to the Secret Nuclear Bunker at Hack Green a couple of weeks ago. Originally a Starfish site in the Second World War to decoy attacks from Crewe, then a radar site it became the site of an R6 hardened Regional Seat of Government Bunker. In time of nuclear war from the 1960's to the 1990's, the county of Chester would have been governed from this place. Situated in countryside south west of Nantwich, it was connected to a hardened communication network with other RGHQ's and central government. Many people would have lived and worked in the semi buried bunker.
Abandonned in 1992 as a dividend of the end of the Cold War it was opened in 1998 as a tourist attraction and house a large collection of Cold War relics and a number of deactivated nuclear weapons.

The Matrix is still one of my favourite films. In the downtime over Christmas and New Year I was inspired to shoot this strobist selfie because my brother had so many old computer monitors lying around. I was travelling light with just one speedlight, a set of wireless triggers, but no filters or other light modifiers and so had to improvise.
Strobist info:
The key light was a Nikon SB28 at 1/64th power placed on the desk behind the laptop and the main screen, pointing up at the subject. An offcut from a green/blue plastic bag was used to provide the greenish tinge and the lenshood of my 24-70mm lens was used as a snoot to limit the spill. The computer screens actually provided very little light. Triggered wirelessly using a Yongnuo YN-622N trigger
Boeing B-29A 44-61975 is so large it has its own hangar with just two far smaller aircraft for company.
Built in 1945, it was later converted to a trainer, but then converted back to a regular bomber again in the 1950s when it served in Korea. Around this time, it also flew from the USAF base at Molesworth in Cambridgeshire.
It was one of several B-29s that were used for target practice in Maryland in the 1960s, but came out relatively unscathed in 1973 when it was rescued by the New England Air Museum here at Windsor Locks.

FREE HACK AND OGRE!!!!!! Tried to mix my style in with some of Hack's, came out like this. Not long now!!!
*sigh*
I know MOCpages doesn't mean much to a lot of you anymore, but I know a lot of you had your start in the LEGO community there. I don't know what I did to piss somebody off, but I seem to be in someone's crosshairs. For now, it's still civil in so much as that MOCs have not been deleted, but they changed the e-mail and the password. I do have a way to hack my way back in, but you know, it's just not worth it right now.
And of course it's right in the middle of the Eight Piece Building Challenge which I have helped spread the word about. I also recently helped someone to upload creations to the site. Yeah, the site is broken, hence why I am being hacked, but far be it from me to try and bolster activity for those that actually want to populate the site.
A few weeks ago, I had been removed from the Eight Piece Building Challenge group after sharing the news of its return. About a week ago, I gave Ben Cossy a proper critique on his latest MOC, Breathless, which is beautiful by the way, but I wanted to give him some fair opinions and suggestions for improvements; that comment was deleted not of Ben's or my own volition. And just a few days ago, my e-mail had been changed, but the password had not so I was able to get right back in. Clearly I am being watched and they've retaliated with more action. I never made a big stink about it because of how quickly I was able to get back to work, but now I can't even write comments in groups telling people what's happened.
With the news about Flickr's photo limitations for free users, I planned to use MOCpages now more than ever until a new platform arose. I already used MOCpages a lot to store all my photos and go in more depth with details, but it's no longer a safe place. Luckily, I'm a hoarder and have backlogs on all my photos, but not all the text and details. If the hack goes further, all that information is gone. But I guess the plan to use it even more is out the window.
Like I said, I do have a way where I could gain control again, but the hacker knows the same tricks, so it would just be a never ending loop. I could even create a new account with a different e-mail, but I imagine the second I was found out, that, too, would be hacked. So I guess this is good-bye to MOCpages for all those that want to see whatever is left. I'm not deleting anything. I'll leave being a dick to the dick that likes to hack people. Here's a LINK to my homepage.

Made from the Sunny Wheat (with brown boot feet and masked head under the helmet) Blank and Black Armor set. A mysterious villain, sort of like War Duke I suppose
this was original found in a chinese xitek.com forum thread:

since there wasn't a picture other than from the xitek.com, i thought i'd post my hack job.
the minolta AF 35-70 F4 lens has no auto-focus when you use the macro. this hack is very simple, allow auto-focus to be used when in macro mode.
all you need are:
1] xacto knife
2] "scotch"/transparent tape
3] scissors
4] 5 minutes
5] some steady hands.
since i have 3 of these lens I decided to take the plunge with 1 of them.
- go into macro mode
- pry off the rubber grip using the knife.
- you will see a black tape. again use the knife to pull it off on one side
- this will expose the gold contacts
- the third large band is where you will put the scotch/transparent tape over. (view the picture above). you can also tape over the thin band to the right of it.
- for me, the width of the scotch/transparent tape is the same length as the entire macro gold contact.
- because the hole is smaller than the entire length of the macro gold contact, i had to put the tape on the start of the macro gold contact and taped it down, and then turned the zoom to expose the end of the macro gold contact and pushed the tape down.
- be careful not to bend the pins on the white plastic while doing all this!
- close the black tape back up
- put the grip back on. you don't need any glue. the adhesive on the grip should be plenty sticky.
YMMV and do at your own risk :)
