brad.livejournal.com— When my house is in range, it does the magic HTTP request to my garage door opener's webserver (HMAC-signed timestamped URL, for non-replayability/forgeability if sniffed) and my garage door opens.

It's interesting noone pointed out that this is Brad Fitzpatrick, creator of Livejournal, memcached and whatnot. This is not even a blip on his resume :)
Look in to the history of the term "hacking". Hacking didn't used to mean script kiddies defacing web pages, it referred to someone who had an interest in computers and created interesting combinations of hardware and software to accomplish a task. Guys like Steve Wozniak were the original hackers.
