Scary Stuff

One of the scariest hacks I have seen in a while:

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/02/anonymous-hacks-hbgary/

I is not for integrity

I met another fellow who has used the iHero name, this time for an iPhone game, we had a hour long meeting in the summer of 2009. His name is Erik Dahlman and his company, Dataspire, writes apps for iphone that they sell at the istore.

So he made a game called iHero -- while troubling, that is not the most troubling part.

At our meeting I gave him an idea for an iphone game and that I had other ideas/could think of other things as well -- I emailed him a couple times after the meeting and he never replied -- disturbing-- he seemed like a reasonable guy.

So now his company has a new game called "monkey fireworks" -- a major change from their previous portfolio-- which turns out to have the root idea that I presented him in the summer -- moving vectors across the screen that the user had to click on.

I can't express the disappointment I feel towards humanity when people behave in a selfish , "integrity free"manor.

Would it really cost a company that much to pay for a think tank or provide some small amount of credit -- especially to someone that already has a full time job?

Awesome Hack Attack

Well you just have to be impressed with the latest Hack in the news. The iHero could not have created a better storyline. I'll have to send the defender a T-shirt -- once I find out who detected the hack:

Internet Hero

I was very surprised to get a check in the mail the other day from iUniverse -- it appears I sold some more books -- now please get out there and write some reviews at amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Internet-Hero-Fyber-Knights-Router/dp/0595203744

How am I supposed to make the next book better if I don't have any feedback ?

Next ihero Book

Well I have an outline -- but the ihero prototypes use up about 90% of my time -- my wife gets the other 10% -- all are well worth it. My next book will account for my military background and some of the stuff I do at work. I plan on taking the first book -- fixing all the errors, adding about 6 more chapters and republish. I'll actually get an editor this time.

New iHero Knight

Well we've been very busy here at iHero -- unfortunately it hasn't been with iHero business.

We have a new Knight joining the router table -- we were going to call him Star Knight -- but I won't do on to others as has been done on to me -- someone is already using that name -- maybe STE for Star Knight Entertainment......

You can see his helmet on the ihero.com web site. later Darc

Core War

Something the Internet Hero should know a little about -- but I just stumbled upon it.

Thou shalt not steal iHero

How many iHeros can we have?

Ok – I was first – the first iHero – and yes I can prove it. I have copyright and other notarized search results from back in the year 2000.

So first came Frank Fradella – a fellow author. For some incredible reason -- he didn’t understand how my book – a fictional work with iHero in the title and a character called the iHero -- related to his new company he had named “iHero entertainment”.

I even offered that my iHero become part of his super hero team – since my character is a virtual super hero – but again – Frank didn’t get it.

Neither of us could afford lawyers – so we agreed to disagree basically – but I was sickened for a long time that a fellow artist would steal my name – and I say steal because he only had to do a web search for iHero – and there I was.

And now I see another fictional writer from Canada -- I,Hero – which btw is how Frank’s company started out.


People ! Have you not the decency to respect other’s rights??????


The only enjoyment I get from the name is that I now own iHero.com.

Maybe one of the 400 billionaires in the U.S. will buy it from me for a mere 1/100000th of their wealth. Or maybe Apple will buy it from me – for there latest super hero like gadget.

Heck – maybe one of Frank’s multitude of projects will become a success – and he will buy me out.

Only then will I again smile when mentioning the name, my name, iHero.
