Hak.5 will be on the Computer America radio show with Carey Holzman tonight (July 31st) at 10pm Eastern (-5 GMT). Computer America is “America’s longest-running nationally syndicated radio talk show about computers”. You can tune into the radio broadcast if it’s carried in your area or listen to the Internet stream and join us in chat for the event.

I’ll make the MP3 available here on Saturday. This is a live call in show so feel free to join in!

Tonight will be the first Hak5 celebrity deathmatch. After the show we’ll be taking on Carey Holzman in Unreal Tournament classic. Join us on irc.hak5.org for the details.

We just got back from the HOPE conference in NYC. Big shoutout to all the fans that met up with us at the con, we really appreciate the support. We’ll have pictures up on the Hak5 group flickr soon.

Also thanks go to Leo Laporte and the rest of the twits for having us on This Week in Tech #63.

We will be at the HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) conference in New York the weekend of July 21st. If you’ll be attending and want to join us for a tasty beverage or hook us up with a party invite please drop me a line.

Oh yes, and seeing that the season premier is coming up soon we’re releasing a special wallpaper

Whoa, am I really writing production notes already? Man those two months “off” went by quick. Though I’m sure you’re all eagerly anticipating the next release. Season two is officially off the ground with 1/3rd of the season premier complete. The rest of the segments are in pre-production and we seem to be on schedule for an amazing release on August 5th.

What do a Mac, a Gentoo box, and a Windows machine all have in common?

Ok well that’s all for now. Stay tuned for a Hak. 5 event announcement by the end of the week.
