About Me

no fake smiles, no hidden agendas.

my name is mike machlin.
i am a bad ass motherfucking geek! i love computers, and anime, and electronics, and if you start a fight with me i will kick your fucking ass. (not a joke!)
i do not take shit from tough guys or stuck up assholes, and i do not take any shit from the police.
i do not patronize fast food establishments, or places where ladies get in free, and men pay, because if we learned anything from the holocaust or slavery, it's that discrimination is wrong no matter what.
i do not associate with republicans, right wing conservatives, or born again christians.
i am pro choice, pro-stem cell research, pro open source, and pro downloading media, and nothing you say can change that so don't try unless you feel like getting schooled.
i hate the new york mta, suv's, and george bush. (i never have and never will refer to him as "President Bush")
and i don't play or watch professional sports.
i do however:
void warranties, violate user agreements, fry circuits,
blow fuses, and poke eyes out.
it's my sport, love it or leave it!
do not let the police take advantage of you, know your rights! read the tutorial below. or else don't complain when you get served.
saying no to police searches
have you ever felt like you don't have a voice in the media, or maybe you feel like they don't even care what you think... well then you're absolutely right. but at least you can tell them how you feel. below is a list of phone numbers, addresses, and e-mails for the major networks. enjoy!
take back the media
face it, voice mail systems suck, in a big way. and everyday they suck more and more. here is the cheat-sheet for bypassing the voice mail systems of 356 major companies.
the ivr cheat sheet
want your own private internet, where you control what you see and what you don't? browse the internet free from popups, advertisements, and spy ware. set up the firefox browser with ad block, and make it happen. here is my tutorial on how to do it correctly...
no more advertisements
for my day job, i work for public peace section nine. here's a photo of major mokoto (my boss) and me, on a routine counter-terrorism strike, at the american embassy in downtown tokyo.
officially section nine doesn't exist, so don't show this page to anybody who is japanese. and if your reading this and you are in fact japanese then..
this is actually a clever photoshop manipulation!
the edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is, are the ones who have gone over.
