ShmooCon is the premiere East-coast annual hacker convention

This year’s bag.

Did you see this outside the lobby to the left Saturday afternoon?

A crane dropped what it was holding.

I procured a new laptop bag, sweet.

Espeically since this was the bag I was using.

ArcSight, nice, I’ve blogged about them before.

Attended some talks, the NFC one was interesting but over my head, and the HNN one was my favourite.

Not much to show you about the actual conference though – it’s impolite to wave your camera around recording things at such events. It’s nothing mysterious, just the nature of the industry.

Same at all the conferences, same as Defcon.

Which is why I’m extra proud of this video; I’m pretty sure I have one of the only videos in the world showing inside last year’s Defcon19.

Adding to that, you can imagine going online during these events, you best be prepared. This is ‘the best of the best’ gathered together. Which is why I didn’t let my laptop touch the hotel network and my MiFi went down.

There’s always someone better than you. And cleaning up after a compromise is never worth the couple days you missed internetting.

I can tell you though, about the couple that got engaged, congratulations you two!

And show you the cutest thing, look:

The bride-to-be had to pick her way inside to find the run, awww.

Then Saturday night it’s the annual party at ‘Heaven and Hell’.

Thanks for a great time, SchmooCon!

Great seeing your familiar face again, and great meeting your new one, TTYS
