Hacker in My House

DSCN0922[1]

My two sons, Joshua and Caleb are shown here building our new family “super” computer. Caleb has been a geek for several years now (wiring our new house starting when he was 12 years old), and Joshua is his protégée .

When I was drawing “Camp Pinetar” a daily comic strip, I had a character named “Hacker”. You can see him spinning around on the globe at the top of the page.

Caleb wasn’t born yet, but little did I know that I would have my own real hacker in the house.

What gives me the right to call my son a hacker?

Caleb works for U Test. He is what is called a “White Hat Hacker.” The people who work for U Test are given prototype electronic devices, and software programs, and told to try and break into them.

Caleb found several weaknesses in one of the Droid prototypes, earning him a nice check.

Caleb tells me that our new computer has the second fastest processor in the world.

I have a feeling that he’s saving the fastest processor in the world for his computer.

Now, back to Net Bios…or not.

One thought on “Hacker in My House

  1. My responses to the three comments:

    1. Can neither confirm, nor deny
    2. Second most powerful… In its class. There are server processors that are faster.
    3. Only too true.
