It Was a Great Weekend Away

Good evening from West Virginia.

It’s still warm here, t-shirt and jeans warm.

Looked at some nature.

Saturday night was a great party. Played pool obviously, saw some old friends, made some new ones.

The gentleman in the centre is Sean:

Him: Were you at ShmooCon in February?
Me: Yes. Did you see the pickup truck outside that got smashed?
Him: That was MY truck!
Me: Come ON! I blogged your truck.

This was the band playing the party, Hellbound HonkeyTonk.

Saw these three keyboards.

Laughed a lot.

Am I fitting in yet?

Busy week ahead.  I have articles to write, 12 blog posts drafted here, and it’s ‘Test Fest’ in Niagara Falls… all the auto manufacturers bring their 2013 models to Niagara Falls, and auto journalists from all of Canada come to decide the ‘Car of the Year’.

Early morning flight out, I’ll be back in Toronto before noon tomorrow, TTY then.

'Smarten Up, Internet' Presents REBOOT

Smarten Up, Internet (the security side of this blog), sponsored a screening of the hacker movie, Reboot, Saturday night of Hack3rCon 2012 Charleston, West Virginia.  How’s that for an SEO-friendly sentence.

Set within a dystopian world that is a collision between technology and humanity, “Reboot” touches upon many of the current social and political concerns that arise from becoming more and more intertwined with the virtual.

In contemporary Los Angeles, a young female hacker (Stat) awakens from unconsciousness to find an iPhone glued to her hand and a mysterious countdown ticking away on the display. Suffering from head trauma, and with little recollection of who she is or what is happening, Stat races against time to figure out what the code means, and what unknown event the pending zero-hour will bring.

It’s beautifully shot, a great premise, some of the Metasploit is sloppy, I heard it was a Kickstarter project, and the video editor in me would have reduced it down, but the beginning is really good.  If you watch only that part, do, it’ll make you think.
