About Me

My (outdated) intro blog

Coming out to Destructoid?

Oh hai there, I'm Jed Whitaker, age 24 and I've been gaming for as long as I can remember. My first memories of gaming is Super Mario Land on the original GameBoy and Bubble Bobble on NES. I've owned every big name console that has came out in the past 20 years.

Non-video game wise, I'm a father to a wonderful 2 year old girl named Juliet, she loves me, and I love her, I guess that makes us a happy family? :) She is my favorite comedian!

I live in the Columbus, Ohio area, where I just moved for an IT job with a large financial company, and I love it.

I also came out bisexual this year and have been finding more and more about myself every since. I've become a sort of a "yes man" as in I don't say no to any new experience as long as it's safe, legal, and sane for example: Visiting a hookah bar (I don't smoke period, even there), Going to dance clubs (I can't dance, but I do), playing tabletop games, and I'm really I am very interested in trying out some D&D for the first time!

PS Jailbreak Reverse Engineered, Can Hack PS3 With PSP / Calculator DimmuJed | 5:22 PM on 09.01.2010 9 comments

The recently demoed hack for PS3 that allows running of unsigned code and backups has been reverse engineered. The source code is available online, which has had the ability to play backups removed. With the source code being available publicly, hackers added the feature back in with ease. As of this moment you need a special USB board to run the code, which costs around $30, but hackers are saying you will soon be able to run it from devices such as a PSP, an Android Phone, and Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, and even a TI-84 calculator. This would make the hack easily accessible, and nearly free as many people have these items in their houses. Sony can stop the sell of the PS Jailbreak, but they can't stop source code, at least easily. Let the cat and mouse games begin! Attached photos:
