It worked for Scoble , and I have really just wanted a more modern blogging platform for a while. .Text is not exactly a spring chicken. So, please come visit me at http://kernelmustard.com .

MD5 has been seriously broken for a while, but when I saw the news that Patrick Stach has posted super-efficient collision-generating code , I was surprised that it was that broken.

Charles Petzold, whose books we've all read by now, has a post on his 20 years of Microsoft Windows talk, in which he describes actually writing a new Windows 1.0 program. For all of the irritation I feel whenever I have to write for Win32, the thing is really amazing when you consider the time line...

Om Malik has a post up about another one of TiVo's little marketing gimmicks . I swear, I almost got myself convinced to buy one, even though I watch exactly 1 hour of TV per week (which is, atm, occupied by Rome on HBO).
