Hi, I’m in DC Now

Jan 27 2012

As in Washington DC, capital of the United States.

You call it “DC”, not “Washington”. Or “the Triangle”, or “the District”.

Ha.

I’m here for ShmooCon 2012 – an annual East-coast hacker convention.

It’s held here where I’m also staying, the Washington Hilton. It smells really good here, like they mix the air with flowers.

Here’s some interesting history of the hotel:

Read about it here.

There’s a few conferences going on at the same time, look:

Ought to make for some great people-watching outside the hotel.

I landed last night, checked in, ate dinner, and then did laundry.

Being on the road for 2 weeks straight makes you have no socks.

Travel tip: if you need to do laundry on the road: look for a medium-level hotel; they’ll have machines. The higher end hotels will charge you to do it, plus this way is faster and more efficient.

I’m still having serious internet connections problems. This not having internet on my phone is tough.

I should be able to get that fixed earlier next week, on it.

TTYL, have a great Friday afternoon!

Sneak Peak at ‘Keri on Security’

Jan 19 2012

This is the one guys, I cracked it… the subject and the format, the passion I have for this subject, the timing, and and and.

I am SO excited.

Screen shots from the intro.

Screen shots from the ‘DEF CON 19 Interview Series’ videos.

Video topics, things you’ll be learning to do.

It’s a big topic I’ve chosen, online security… tweeted this yesterday:

Good thing I like a challenge, game on.

I’ll keep you posted, going back to editing the intro now.

New Business Cards and Keri On Security

Sep 12 2011

New business cards this week YA buddy.

The two in the dresses are by Suzy Lamont Photography, from that time we did the photoshoot at Trenton Air Base.

Actually, I’ll re-embed the video of that, one sec…….

(here and here are the original posts about the shoot)

I always document when I get new business cards, click here and here to see old ones, and here to read a story about when I made my first set ever.

These are my nicest ones yet, stiffest stock to date. I’m going to work my way up to ones with such stiff card stock it hurts your hand to fold it.

They’re from the UPS Store on Front Street… you want to speak with Dino, and ask Elisa to do your graphics.

My other show, go here: Keri On Security – Smarten Up, Internet

Too late no turning back now, I’m equally as excited as I am treading cautiously.

I’ll explain why tomorrow, I’ve got to get ready for the Diet Coke TIFF party now, which I’ve heard will be huge.

TTYT !!

Things From My Trip

Aug 10 2011

On the left – my excellent packing job.

The green arrow is pointing at my new favourite dress, which I think I’ll also wear to the Stella party. It’s almost too short. Almost. Smirk.

On the right are two travel essentials.

The water is gone before I board, and… oh wait – I have the perfect video about passports, hang on…..

Look at that – I was defeated by… my own lock. Can’t remember the black password.

See the symbol the blue arrow is pointing at? That’s what you want.

It means airport security has a universal key to open your lock. Otherwise, if airport security needs to get into your bag, they have to cut it off, now they’re frustrated with you, now your bag is getting tossed around accordingly.

I know this to be true because of the many nods of approval from the airport security people when they see it.

Action shot of my new show being designed. Down to the wire indeed.

There was so much to do before I left. Kinda wished I’d documented it a bit more. There was no time. Last week I was vibrating literally for days before. Oh no. As I type this a memory of the Olympics -After-Math coming back. The Crash. Moving on.
