MC Frontalot comes to Stanford!
Nerdcore! Aww yeah!
Last Tuesday, I got to hang out with “the world’s 579th greatest rapper,” MC Frontalot, before and after he performed at a Stanford concert! He is best-known for coining the term nerdcore and basically defining the whole nerdcore hip-hop musical genre. As you can tell by picture above, I dressed appropriately for the occasion.

This is how my iPhone looked after I shattered the screen. Such a sad sight... 
And then I fixed my iPhone.

I just read an interesting opinion column about technology illiteracy over at TidBITS. The author, Adam Engst, argues that as technology becomes easier to use and hence more transparent, society has lost the ability to converse about technology.

Try it out! It works on Feross.org! Really…. you should try it out right now! 
Remember to add ENTER at the very end!
And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, please get edumacated, courtesy of Wikipedia:
The Konami Code, known in Japan as the Konami Command (コナミコマンド, Konami Komando), is a cheat code that appears in many Konami video games, although the code also appears in some non-Konami games. The code was first used in the 1986 release of Gradius for the Nintendo Entertainment System but was made famous in North America in the NES version of Contra, for which it was also dubbed the “30 Lives Code”.
Update: The code also works on the iPhone, using gestures. Just replace the final B, A, and Enter keys with taps and it’ll work! AWESOME!

I decided to figure out how many Feross’s I could fit in one URL, with each one serving a different function. Here is my result:
http://feross.feross.org/feross/feross.feross?feross=feross#feross
You found the secret page.
If you remove a single “feross” from the URL, then you fail and don’t get to see the secret stuff hidden at this location!
Every feross serves a different function in the URL.
Can you name all the feross’s?
In order, they are:
- subdomain
- domain name
- TLD – top level domain (technically this one isn’t a feross …yet!)
- folder
- file name
- file extension
- “get” parameter
- “get” value
- URL anchor (or hash)
Ok, back to studying for finals!
EDIT: updated TLD description because it’s .org not .feross. Thanks Daniel!

Hi, this is Feross. I'm a computer science student at Stanford University (class of 2012). I'm interested in Internet technology, web development, and computer security. I like hacking on cool software projects, running, basketball, retro video games, and shiny gadgets.
