There were several clusters of Tawny Emperors on a young Hackberry tree. All told, their sheer numbers were staggering to witness.
They appeared to be in third-instar...around 10 days old.

She is tired of hiding from the Turing Police choppers.
Standing outside the Evil Giga Shaft Corporation (GSC), she have hacked the buildings security, still to 'do a HAL' on the their mainframe is not gonna be a stroll in the park.
Looking up at the tiny moon, its cold appearance seems to somehow to give her strength...
As she crosses the street towards her destiny she walk the way she talk it, like every bad-ass hero she know, Bruce Lee, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Sigourney Weaver and Molly... Watching all that pirate bay old movie download is about to be put in good use to give black hat security dudes a bad day at work!
Last paragraph is of course loosely from the great author William Gibson's novel Neuromancer, particular the last name of bad-ass heroes...
Hacker: A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular. (From RFC 1392)
They're cool. The bad connotation seems to have come about primarily from media reports of people breaking computer security for nefarious purposes. This happened when the word wasn't widely used by people other than self proclaimed hackers. Since the news tends to report on things gone wrong, the general public only heard the word used in a negative sense.
In the positive sense, hacker can include just about anyone making and improving open source software. Thanks to their efforts, no commercial software, besides the firmware on the camera and computer, was used in the creation of this image. Instead, I used Rawtherapee, Digikam, and enfuse running on Linux.
Not all hackers look like this. Some wear suits. Some are less conspicuous. Some don't wear glasses. Some don't like coffee.
Wear a sweater around your waist, sew it to fit, cut it really short and re-attach the trim, turn the sleeves inside out: voila, pockets! I have been watching a lot of Project Runway recently.
Edit: This just made the Craft magazine blog! Thanks!
I'm doing a presentation on the Hackerspaces movement at a conference where the white hat hacker idea might not be so well known and wanted a Free 'Stock Photo' of a hacker to use as a parody. Couldn't find anything that I didn't have to pay for so my buddy and I staged this in the MakeHackVoid Hackerspace.
Feel free to shop out the watermark if it doesn't fit in with your style, just remember to credit me somewhere.

Quick shot of my Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2 (I love this thing!).
Outfitted with red escape key, blue WASD keys, and yes, that is its keyboard roof in the background.

Here's a handy hack I've been using lately to carry a map and notes along with my hacked Moleskine Weekly Planner notebook.
I use a standard 3" x 5" yellow sticky note to draw a map, with directions, address, phone numbers and whatever else I might need to get to my meeting.
Then I attach the long, sticky edge to the spine side of the Moleskine (left edge) and then slide the loose edge of the stick note under the elastic band (right side), so it won't catch the corners in my pocket.
Once I'm done with the map, I can save it in the back of my Moleskine for later use, or toss it out.
This approach also works well for task lists and any other at-a-glance information you need to see without opening up the Moleskine.

Inspired by an excerpt from "The Hacker Manifesto" by The Mentor, mostly the last line in the second paragraph.
This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

The Hack 4000 is a vehicle composed out of other fighters that have been plundered by the relentless space pirates.Space pirates? Space pirates! I don't know where this came from, but it might be a bit different. I haven't put a cock pit in yet but there is room, and there is also an unfinished storage area out back, where I would put all the lego gold. A fig to go with this would also be ideal.
The lighting and backgrounds leave something to be desired, need different colors, or textures, or diffusers, or something. Better pics will come if I can work it out. Let me know what you think - I can take it.
