I had the pleasure of joining the Hak5 crew and Dale Chase yesterday at the Bay Area Maker Faire. There over 9000 excellent projects, kits, and contraptions — though I couldn’t track down a Drink Shield despite asking all over. I was fortunate enough, however, to meet Eben and Liz of Raspberry Pi fame.
The ‘Pi is the DIY hardware that has most excited me since the Arduino. It is an ARM-based GNU/Linux computer for $25, and is only slightly bigger than a credit card (in 2D space). I’m looking forward to playing with one in the future. These things sell out faster than Shmoocon barcodes.
Wrapping up our interaction, I foolishly challenged Eben to a rap battle, in which he destroyed me via several powerful punchlines about my x86-based rap moniker of int0x80:

Update: RSVP (also: dat poster)
Rapid7 has invited us to come rock the spot for a bit during their party at RSA. It looks like we will be at Ruby Skye again, but keep an eye on the @rapid7 twitter for more details. The Rapid7 parties are always a blast, and also historically have required RSVP. So get your name on that list and come Metasploit all the things!

It’s the inaugural SkyDogCon — we wouldn’t miss it for the world. SkyDog is the friendly, muscular gentleman at the hacker conferences with the soothing southern baritone. He and SomeNinja are two of the nicest guys I’ve had the pleasure to know, and I am excited to be a part of SkyDogCon.
In other excellent news, my good friend Chris will be giving a talk and the homie CP from DC-949 will be facilitating the parties. See you all there

We are playing at 1:00PM (one in the afternoon) on Saturday, October 28th at NerdPOW. It’s sponsored by the folks from A&G Ohio AND it’s Halloween weekend, so I expect some excellent cosplay. See you there
