Chaos Camp 2007: The beginning!

Short and brief here. Surprisingly we all made it here in time to defend our freedoms and set up camp before another group could claim. Of course since we're the American Embassy here we would've taken the land anyways. We're Americans, whats yours will soon be ours!!

To be honest I'm really amazed at everything here. The people are awesome, the environment couldn't be better and the number of unique camps, activities and talks available simply can not be beat. If you're awake at 4am PST you can watch the talks live at http://events.ccc.de/camp/2007/Streams

Defcon and Chaos Camp 2007

This weekend is DefCon 16. All signs say this year is going to be just as big, if not bigger, than it's been in the past. Part of me misses the Alexis Park experience. It felt more homely, more tightly knit together than at a casino. Maybe it's just me. :)

I'll also be a part of the Hackers on a Plane! We're flying right after DC to the Chaos Computer Camp. I've lamented often to friends on how disjointed we are, specifically within the Bay Area, as a community of hackers. I'm not one to talk because I'm just as bad about staying home and keeping things to myself as the rest of us. Hopefully CCC.de will help invigorate me to make some changes. This little spot on the Internet has helped a little. I no longer feel like an evil anti-social hacker -- ok, maybe a little.

Hope to see everyone there!
