Elonka-at-a-Glance

Other Pics:

A couple links with more (relatively recent) info about me:

(May 2002) An extensive interview with me that appeared on a game industry news site, www.gignews.com.
(July 2000) A draft autobiography that I wrote a couple years ago

Current Projects:

(January 2002) A cover story about a September 11th-related hoax that I uncovered.

(November 2001) Lots of pics are going up on my new http://elonka.com site, such as of my trip to Cambodia & Vietnam, my visit to groundzero in New York in October, and my journey to PhreakNIC5 in Nashville

(2001) I'm working on a master list of all of the countries I've visited.

(Fall 2000) I won a cryptography prize for being the first person to crack the PhreakNIC Code, and was asked to give presentations on cryptography here and there. Check this site for the tongue-in-cheek tutorial that I wrote on how I cracked the Code.
