Advice From the Lockpicking Lawyer

 


I recently came across one of the Lockpicking Lawyer's videos on YouTube. I may not be taking it too seriously, but it seems kind of silly to me. But with all the strange people out there it could be dangerous. He might encourage someone to try it out in a real situation. It's supposed to be a hobby. 

He says he He works with lock manufacturers to improve the security of their devices. He also sells the tools he uses through his own company, Covert Instruments  


While still learning how to pick:
It’s probably for the best that I was pretty terrible back then because there’s no doubt that I would have gotten into trouble.  After several months of consistent failure, I abandoned my efforts.






"It’s funny how often people ask, “Are you really a lawyer?”  The answer is "yes.”  At the time of this interview, I am a 37-year-old practicing attorney from the Washington, D.C. area.  The focus of my law practice has nothing to do with locks or security.

Some more examples of the tools of the trade:




Lock picking from an inside view.


He did not really invent this.



After some practice, it's not really that difficult.

Here is a nice set of tools, for a birthday or Christmas? 




Should this be legal? Or can someone just make their own tools? Is it like a set of knives? 

Take care,
John

  1. Well, everyone needs a hobby! Like many skills and tools, lock-picking is not illegal in and of itself. It has many legal applications. It's only when you use it to commit a crime that it becomes illegal.

  2. Interesting take on the Lockpicking Lawyer’s videos. It’s true that lockpicking could be seen as risky in the wrong hands, but the emphasis on security improvement and responsible use makes a difference.

Understanding the Introvert

I have to admit it. I'm an introvert and this article explains it best. I need friends as much as anyone but I just find it difficult.  Anyway, I'm better off this way than being with people who are phony and manipulative.  Here is a copy of the article from the "Lifehack" site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/you-didnt-get-why-you-couldnt-get-along-with-introverts-before-you-read-this-youll-understand-after.html The website is on my list of interesting sites.
 

QWERTY vs DVORAK Keyboard

I never knew there was a different type of keyboard like DVORAK instead of QWERTY (named after the first six letters on the left of the first row) , at least not in English or similar languages. Chinese has a modified QWERTY keyboard something like: Or maybe this keyboard below is purely Chinese: Back to English:  The video below explains why the QWERTY keyboard is used almost 100% today and some future possibilities.  Not changing my keyboard, it's not worth the effort for me .
