I got a lot of questions about the Federal Reserve vault that we talked briefly about in Brief #485. This is the rest of the story. We met this guy backing something called Woopra. Needless to say, we fell in love with Woopra, and we adopted the guy behind it, John P., as kind of a dad. John P. wrote the first version of CSS. We didn't know that when we adopted him. We just thought he was kind of smart and pretty cool. John P. retired around the age of 30, and then he went back to work for Layered Tech as the CMO. In that capacity, he made it possible for us to bring cameras underneath Dallas to get some footage of the former Federal Reserve Safe.

IDG (the company that organizes Macworld) is holding a town hall meeting at Macworld. This is your chance to give them your feedback on what you want from future Macworlds. What should it be post-Apple involvement? In Brief #485, I talk about what I want to see in 2010. Leave your thoughts in the comment section below!

If you follow me on Twitter, you know I finally got my Canon 5D Mark II! You can see the full HD video I shot and pictures at cali.smugmug.com. I'll be posting all sorts of photos and video there as I practice and (hopefully) get better.

The Dev-Team released an iPhone 3G unlock called yellosn0w.

After we quit our day job at Extra Space to do Geek Brief full time, we moved to the familiarity of our home town. We moved into a loft in an old building and if you were around during that phase, you might remember that we were sick a lot. We pretty much coughed for the whole time we lived and worked there. During that time we met William, the Geek Brief Intern and I built my first computer from scratch. We moved from there to a townhouse where we hired our first employee, Emily. She married a soldier and moved away. We LOVED the townhome, but the rent was freaking expensive.

Almost a year ago, Neal went to the Travel Channel Academy in Washington D.C. (if you go, tell them Neal Campbell sent you!) On the flight back home, we decided to go forward with our dream to buy a bus and travel to all 50 states. For most of 2008 we worked on making The Big Trip happen. We launched a Web site called PaidbyPixels.com where you can buy a 100 pixel ad for $50. For each 100 pixel you buy, you get an ad rotation on the Geek Brief Web sites, so it's a pretty good deal. PaidbyPixels.com so far has raised about $20,000 for the Big Trip, a good amount, but not enough to buy a bus so we're saving it in a money market account. We're eithe
