Everyone knows about the HP Laserjet printers. No doubt we’ve all used them at one point in our life. My high school had all HP Laserjets and boy, we had fun with them. Evers since Irongeek posted his research on these printers, they’ve been a prime target. We’re proud to announce a new tool. This one will scan ranges for these printers and then attempt to print the hell out of them haha. You can download it here: http://planaheist.com/usertools/massprint.tar  

Figured this might be of interest to some people. Seeing how technology is gaining high ground in capturing our data, just time till something comes around that scans our faces at airports. Are there any facial recognition setups in play anywhere? Anyways, check out the links. via http://ahprojects.com/c/itp/thesis and http://jwz.livejournal.com/1213497.html  

Today in Sweden we saw an amazing movie-like heist. Early this morning a white helicopter landed on the roof of a money depot, three men walked out and into the building, the helicopter lifted again and hovered above the building, explosions went off, the robbers came back out with several large bags after the helicopter landed again and they took off. They have not yet been found but the helicopter has been found by a small lake. Many witnesses who live nearby saw the whole thing and gave detailed descriptions of the modus operandi. http://www.thelocal.se/22234/20090923/ Update: Seems CNN has got the story too: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/09/23/stockholm.helicopter.heist/index.html  

The Sentry safes are among the most common safes I know of. This is what happens when you give a society a product that is often overlooked. You can pick these safes up at any WalMart or Target for very cheap.  

We’re gonna do a group buy for TV-B-Gone kits. I’ll do all the assembling so you don’t have to. Depending on the number of people interested, price will be around $10-$15. These will be the new superpower ones with 150ft+ range. If you’re interested, send an email to riscphree at gmail dot com and mention how many you want and if you want it assembled or not. Due date for this is: September 10, 2009  

I saw on ladyada’s site a new SIM reader project she cooked up, it looked cool so I decided to give it a shot. You can view the project here: http://ladyada.net/make/simreader/index.html I have put together my copy, but I forgot to order two parts when I placed my order with Mouser. So once I order them I can test it out. Here is a pic of the completed product (save, the two missing parts). If you would like to purchase this kit (or just the PCBs), you may visit Adafruit.
