I have been a listener of the RBPC Show podcast for months now. No, not just because their show looks like a dyslexic version of my name. It’s a good show! My favorite podcast, in fact. I mentioned their show in my journal awhile back and the guy who runs the show even signed my guestbook to say thanks for listening. So the other day I join their forums and introduce myself. But instead of a nice, normal “hello” I threatened them with defamation of character lawsuits instead. All in good fun, of course. But then the accusations started flying and suddenly I’m the one on trial. There’s too much to explain but go visit the RBPC Show forums and try to sort it out for yourself. I think I’ve decided to give up on proclaiming my innocence. No matter how much I explain, they refuse to believe anything I say.

February 14th, 2006 - The powers that be at wikipedia.org have deicded that PLA just isn’t important enough to have their very own wikipedia entry. You can go witness the drama by clicking here, and maybe throw your opinion in there too.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up and buy a damn PLA Media CD. Now they have snazzy jewel case inserts with them. You get hundreds of prank calls in mp3 format, not to mention all the videos, pictures, text files, cursors, icons, etc. Best of all, RBCP uses the profits to buy crack cocaine for himself and his friends. Click here to contribute to the cause.

It’s Sunday night and I’m back from yet another felony-filled weekend at Rubicon. It was a fun time and we hope it happens again next year. If you missed it, you can click here to look at some pictures, listen to a few sound files and read some stories. You can probably find even more of all that by going to the official Rubicon site or the unoffcial Rubicon site.

CNN was there and did a very good story on hackers. You can listen to the audio of the segment here.

Once again, it’s the time of year when you need to drop everything you’re doing and start making plans to attend Rubicon 5 in Detroit, MI. This year it will be held at the Holiday Inn from March 28th through March 30th, 2003. Tickets are an outrageous $50 per head but if you donate 2 dozen canned goods to the staff they’ll give you a 75% discount. This also works for a 32% discount on the cost of your hotel room so be sure to bring 4 dozen cans of food for each person that’s attending with you.

Besides the official Rubicon site there is also the unoffcial Rubicon site which has a lot of good information. You can view the PLA Crew’s past few years of pictures here. That page will soon contain some preparation info for the upcoming Rubicon. Once again, Microsoft founder Steve Wozniak will not be giving the keynote and neither will Defcon’s Dark Tangent. We also have information from a very good source who is quite sure that LOD’s Erik Bloodaxe will not be giving the keynote either. Keep watching Rubicon’s website for updates.

A few weeks ago I was in Office Max for one reason or another. I ended up at the counter where they display PDAs and cell phones. I came across the Samsung palm/phone and I ended up playing around with it’s Palm features for while, comparing it to my own Kyocera palm/phone, which isn’t quite as nice as the new Samsung.

As I was setting the phone back down to go play with the other items, I was surprised to see a sign under the phone encouraging customers to make phone calls on it so they could see what a nice phone it was. So I stood there for 45 minutes, calling random numbers all over the country for free. I called the PLA Voice Bridge, Curtis Lee Jones, a few friends, and a few enemies. Then I called my own cell phone so I could get the phone number to the display phone.

A few minutes later, I was sitting in an office display chair behind an office display desk, pestering all the customers who walked by the cell phones with my phone calls to the Samsung phone. I had a clear view of the display counter so I could yell at them for answering a store phone, make fun of their clothing or pretend to be a sales rep. trying to sell them a the phone. I convinced a few people to hand the phone to other people in the store. “Yes, my uncle should be there looking at cameras and he’s wearing a blue shirt and a white hat. Just hand him the phone. Thanks.”

Hours later when I was at home, people playing with the display phone starting calling ME on my cell phone since I never bothered blocking my caller ID. I recognized the number when they called and went into an automated sales pitch. “Press 1 if you’d like me to tell you about some of the kickass features on this bitch.” One person fell for it and I took him through a maze of automated options until I ran out of things to say and admitted that I was just screwing with him.

There were a few things that I didn’t even think to try with the phone while I was at the store. It had Sprint PCS service on it, which means that the phone most likely had call forwarding on it since that’s an included feature when you sign up. I could have forwarded the cell phone’s calls to the PLA Voice Bridge so I’d have my own local dialup to the bridge. And I doubt anyone at the store would ever even notice that. I’m definitely going to go back later this week and try that out. And I’ll keep you all posted on the new midwest dial-in number for the bridge.
