Here’s What You Missed Last Week

I’m still taking classes and plugging away at my Master’s. Some of these classes are interesting, some are boring, but all of them have dorky books. Here are some pictures of the chapter headings from Principles of Computer Security.

To be fair to whoever picked the cover, who doesn’t love a Tron inspired design.

Master's Class

At the end of chapter one it says, “By now you should have the idea of security … locked down.” Just kidding, it doesn’t say that, it says something all knowledge-y and wisdom-imparting-y. Borrrrinnnnng.

Master's Class

She doesn’t trust you! Or wait, we don’t trust her? Or something smelly is in the brief case? I don’t know.

Master's Class

All that time you thought cryptography was complicated? Nope, you just need to look for the highlighted text, that’s your password.

Master's Class

These wires put the FUN in … whatever.

Master's Class

There’s the Earth and then … woah! a magic map thing and then WOAH straight up DATA!!

Challenge Nation – Houston

On Sunday, October 14th, I participated in Challenge Nation – Houston, with two of my friends, French Fries and Mayo. It was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend signing up for an event like this with some friends, if it comes to your city.

jumping photo sort of

You had to join up with another team and jump right as the photo was taken. We sort of got that right. Check out the intense concentration on some of these faces. You can tell we’re born athletes.

alley theatre

For this one we went to the Alley Theatre. We had to team up with random people to act out the type of building we were in front of (other options – symphony, opera, ballet). The random folks were fun, but the kid behind me got weirdly into it. Cheers to that guy?

act like a cop

Well … I have no idea what the pose is that I’m doing. We were supposed to pose with a cop, and act like cops … I guess I decided some sort of sassy (see: hand on hip), on the move (see: awkward squatting) pose was best.

stoned green bay fan

We had to take a picture with an out-of-towner, forming the shape of their state with our arms. We failed to do this. In our defense, I was distracted by how baked this dude and his friend were. The guy taking the picture was the Green Bay fan’s friend, and he took several pictures with me not in the shot. He said, “you’re not here” but didn’t think to move … Genius at work.

Bizarre Dream

I just woke up, so I’m writing this out so I don’t forget it.

This is the only part of my dream that I remember.

I was sort of fighting (not punching, just pinning down) all these celebrities who play the main villains in horror movies. Not the villains themselves, the celebrities who play them. AND, the reason I was able to take on several at once … It was the celebrities as children.

It turns out (in my dream) the celebrities were really evil. I realized that no one ever wanted to make a scary movie, it’s just that these people would show up and start doing evil stuff and the director’s would go, “eh, all right, let’s film it.”

Maybe I had traveled back in time to stop these children (not babies, middle-school aged … I was fighting four or five of them so it was no small battle).

Weird, right?

But also, wouldn’t it be crazy to learn that a bunch of celebrities are evil?
