About

We're a geeky group of friends committed to discussing the serious and important issues of the day: domestic policies and liberties, international relations, security, disaster preparation, law, science, art, literature, pirates and the myriad methods by which squids and octopuses mate. Okay, we mostly care about the last two.

Cthulhu the Wifi Hub

Cthulhu the Wifi Hub

I went to see Live Free or Die Hard last night, and the bad guys hack the computer systems of the country. The problem with computer hacker villains, though, is that they just don't present the kind of visceral sense of danger that an action movie needs.

So here's my attempt to depict my networking hardware with a sense of menace. :P

(More thoughts about the movie in my flickr post.)

That hub looks positively cephalopodic!

Are you sure that isn't the crawling chaos Nyarllathoptep The Network?
