Hi TAFbananaSkill - No, Dale's Tram mic 86'ed so you're hearing a Sennheiser ME66 and a Tram on Steven.

hack the planet

Hackers are the warriors of the 21st century. Look what's happening in the middle east right now. People enslaved for generations are suddenly rising up and taking their country back. With nothing but a computer and a cell phone. All this because of the internet. This amazingly powerful beast gives the average person the power of millions.

But my opinion they are thinking too small.

Why not go big?

HACK ON!

This book was a true inspiration to me when I was younger. Even if it was quite sensationalized--it sensationalized being smart! A great book.
