Leaving for my first DEF CON tomorrow. Only ordered 200 stickers. Afraid that's not enough. Really afraid that's too many.

Ok, DEF CON. If you see some guy wearing a phone booth and a not-so-red box around his neck, that might be me.

Long drive from LA to DEF CON, but I got a chance to reread (have read to me) a great book. At least the first half. Spoiler alert: The butler did it.

North of the strip, shit gets real... Real fast.

"Remember that Plymouth we just couldn't fix?" "We're gonna sell him to Mr. Nikolopoulos?" "You're a dull boy, Billy."

Finally made it to DEF CON, and only 6.5 hours later than intended. Keep an eye out. I have stickers!

Once again, arrived to DEF CON later than I hoped to. Looking for all my peeps!

About to watch TracketPacer and Tib3rius lay down some knowledge, game show-style! Main contest stage, first floor.

My light up red box has run out of batteries. I'm devastated. 😔

For anyone having problems with their DEF CON badge, I got you covered!

I'm finally here and I have way too many stickers. Help!

I saw medusfour Ⓥ in the hallway and was too intimidated to say hi. Hoping to run into Bia! Ⓥ and not chicken out. Two CDC members who are my heros.

Due to DEF CON photo policy, I can't show you the hour long line to get into Social Engineering. So here's an AI rendering.

I have like no photos from Def Con, for good reasons - but damn if it wasn't a religious experience for me. Way too many people to mention, but special thanks to sudox.bsky - sudox.defcon.social for being my guide and letting me hang out with her and the rest of the cool kids. (Also, the staff here:)

TFW you've just returned from Def Con, you're wearing this t-shirt, and the guy at Best Buy is explaining to you what "ram" and "storage" are.

I missed out on the Aerospace Village DC32 #badgelife ADS-B badge, but when I got home from Def Con, I realized I had some spare parts lying around. Can't wear it around my neck, and until I get a tuned antenna and LNA, it relies on an old cookie sheet... But it's breathing!
