I grabbed 10 Shmoocon tickets this year, and that was forgetting two people.

Last year our group was able to upgrade to a suite. We’ll be trying some smooth William Shatner moves to repeat the upgrade this year.

UPDATE: We waited too long to get hotel reservations and sure enough, the entire Marriott in Woodley Park is booked. We ended up getting rooms at the Washington Marriott, which is at 22nd and M St. NW. After SANS at the Woodley Marriott for a week last month I could use the upgrade / change of neighborhood.


@wardspan where are the cool kids?


RT @0xcharlie: Yeah! @dionthegod won the pwnie for best research. Congrats!


@jackwillk welcome, I am at the far side of the pool wishing I had my suit.

@charmsec I'll need you to set up the Skype telepresence rig you promised me. I look forward to catching up w/ those of you in LV this week!


Because @_defcon_ attendees are changing their profile pictures to network easier, I've found a video to augment mine: http://goo.gl/ATYN


@kathybarnett it's tough to cycle without going clipless. The real advantage though: Goofy shoes + Bunny-hops.

One of our cats has a clear plastic cone-collar on 'til something clears up. Her reaction suggest like she's experiencing the 4th dimension.

@jackwillk getting back into home brewing is as easy as having an address to ask @MoreBeer_B3 to send ingredients to. Go for it!


I enjoyed @cshirky's Cognitive Surplus this week.

Where Carr seems to continue rediscovering Plato on media, Shirky finds opportunity.

@jackwillk at least you acknowledge that your fear is irrational! http://goo.gl/2kZ0
