I’ve been thinking of going to Defcon17 this year, but I’m reluctant because I keep remembering how lonely I was the last time I went Defcon14. There I was at the MECCA of all things security basking in the glow of technological brilliance and completely alone.
Everyone seems to have a crew there. All loners I meet are to paranoid to talk to anyone. So I end up going from lecture to lecture alone. Don’t get me wrong. I like learning new things.. But too often I feel like it was something I could have just watched on TV (if it was on TV). I want to get more involved, but I don’t have skills or the time to dedicate to another mega hobby like Hacking.
So I thought about rolling out with DC719 (my local defcon group), but I’ve yet to find them. dc719.org seems to have not paid their bill or something. I heard they are all crazy gun nuts, which I think is pretty awesome. Guns and hacking seems like my kind of crowd. Strange, huh?
Anyway, dc719.. if your out there hit me up .. I might want to roll with you guys [or at least say hi]. elamb[dot]security[at]gmail.com
