Henry V at The Globe, London
Well worth it. Three hours of entertainment and some very bawdy humour for about 7 quid. Be a groundling.

#WiReD is butthurt that @csoghoian called them out. They’re wrong. /cc @rsingel @runasand #cryptocat
Update: Chris responds This is off the cuff… If you didn’t see Chris Soghoian’s posting, it won’t make sense why WiReD is so butthurt. But then their being butthurt does not make a lot of sense. Soghoian was right. The media – me included, in my small way – tend to say “woo shiny new

Not just for the insight into the wrongness of “tablet computing”: “I’ve been against Macintosh company lately. They’re trying to get everyone to use iPads and when people use iPads they end up just using technology to consume things instead of making things. With a computer you can make things.

Strategies for implementing Content Security Policy – Ben Summers’ Blog /ht @bensummers
Content Security Policy (CSP) is a feature of modern web browsers which helps mitigate some content injection vulnerabilities in web applications.

HELP: Someone plz remind me: tool for ripping thru disk/exe images looking for crypto key material?
There was some tool a few years ago which would skim through data files looking for little spots of hardcoded entropy which might correlate to encryption keys being hardcoded/embedded in a binary. It started out as a research project but I am assuming it got improved since. #needscoffee
