Hack your router

ByJohn

linksys.jpgWhy don’t you skip (or postpone) your trip to the bar on Saturday night and head down to the Free Geek headquarters and hack your router.

I’ve got a Linksys router that has been sitting in a box since I got my Airport Extreme and I’ve been meaning to hack it so come join the fun tomorrow.

Check out the event details on Facebook if you’re socially networked.

While you’re digging up that router, why don’t you bring along any gear you’re not using and donate it to Free Geek as well. Jordan’s got the details on the Stutta blog.

Update: Of course, it decided to snow like crazy on Saturday so I decided to stay home instead of trekking downtown from PoCo so I didn’t attend the hackfest….hopefully there will be another one

One week with the iPhone 3G

ByJohn

I was going to call this post “It’s been One Week…” but in light of the recent issues Barenaked Ladies frontman, Steven Paige is having, I decided to go for something else instead. I’m not going to do a ‘full’ review since that’s been done to death already. I thought I’d share some of my…

My 2010 SXSWi Panel Submission

ByJohn

This year I decided (at practically the last minute) to submit a panel idea for SXSW Interactive 2010 that will be held in March next year. Regular viewers of this site know that I attend and love SXSW and 2010 will mark my fifth year heading down to Texas. So what’s the panel called? “Do…
