Apple is set to hold its first event at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park today, September 12, 2017.

With the recent leaks, one can only wonder if Apple would have any surprises at all. According to an Apple employee who is definitely not Phil Schiller (@pschiller), *wink-wink*, there is one definite surprise for the event. There are some who call it a “preview”.

Apple will be streaming the event live at Apple.com and Apple TV.

 

Dreamhost is under DDoS Attack

NOTE:
Earlier, we were unable to published the post here because at its current incarnation, 37prime is hosted by Dreamhost. We posted one at our WordPress.com-hosted blog.

From @Dreamhost:

“Our engineers have identified the cause of the DNS degradation as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. dreamhoststatus.com

Dreamhost is currently in the news as the Department of Justice “demands that DreamHost hand over 1.3 million visitor IP addresses” for a site hosted by the company.

Wordfence chimed in:

The DDoS appears to be unrelated to the DoJ request above. It looks like it may be an Anonymous attack targeting the Dreamhost DNS to try to take a white supremacist website called ‘punishedstormer dot com’ offline. The website came online today and is hosted at Dreamhost.

We will closely follow this news.

“We have the box!”

What is this “UMGD”?

What’s this “Friday Street Date”?

It is commemorating a 30 year anniversary of something that became really huge.

It is related to music history.

Slayer, Yestercon and Lazy Game of Thrones

First off, it seems that the people at HBO is getting a bit lazy, they did not even bother entering the correct title for Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 4. The title is ” The Spoils of War”, but it was left as “Game of Thrones 64” at HBO NOW and HBO GO.

On that note, Scott Ian, please stop trying to post the spoilers to the episode.

…well, we’re glad that you did not. Unfortunately someone is spoiling it for the rest of us who had not seen the episode yet.

(plug ears and yell: “La la la la la la la la la la la la………”

Earlier today, we were at Yestercon, which ended earlier than schedule; there were reports that someone called in a bomb threat. Carson Sheriff immediately secured and evacuated the area. We took a drive around after leaving evacuating Yestercon and saw the Sheriff at work. The photos were screenshots captured by the dash cam.

It takes one to ruin it for the many.

By the way, our good friend Carlos Alazraqui was at the Yestercon. He then revisit Carson City, talking about RENO: 911! shooting locations.

On Saturday night, Slayer played at The Forum in Inglewood. As usual, it’s Slayer and the slew!

We were lucky enough to hang backstage the last time all four Original Slayer members played in Long Beach Arena during American Carnage Tour, August 30, 2010.

OK, now back to watching Game of Thrones, again.

“This is Meg”, Now Available on iTunes.

Shameless plug: “This is Meg“, a film by Alex Ferrari is now available on iTunes. “This is Meg” is written, produced and also shamelessly promoted by the film star, Jill-Michele Meleán, who is a good friend of ours.

The film also features Carlos Alazraqui, another good friend of ours.

UPDATE: This is Meg is also available on Amazon Video.

Come to think of it, there are a lot of our friends in this movie. You just have to see the list.
