I'll be at the conference as volunteer / moderator for some of the classes. I'll be able to peek in on this one and it is of great interest to me, and will appreciate any info on this I glean from other attendees or when I inevitably run into you in Deadwood.

There is @soberincyber.bsky.social that makes it to a lot of cons, and they put on sober alternatives. I think they will be in Deadwood for WWHF soon, last year they took over a soda saloon and it was excellent.

It deploys a Skynet to gently keep your socks from being lost in the wash. Cleans up stubborn stains from that WOPR sandwich. Has a Hydro Assessment Level 9000 certification that constantly manages water usage. Traps dirt inside a complex Matrix that is difficult to escape from.

Notable SEC 8-K from the past month. They were still investigating a cyber incident. Lot of things marked as “unknown”.

I said the same thing and got sent this info on how incorrect it is. I do value your comments on this, though.

I like doing scream karaoke (screamaroke?) to Dragonforce’s Through The Fire and The Flame. Actually hitting and understanding all the lyrics, the song supplements therapy.

Yes, this! It was such a habit to stop subtly matching step with everyone when I was out. Took years. I noticed right away and think it is a subtle protest or signal to other military of “yeah, we don’t want to be here but can’t actively say anything.” Saw troops on spring shoes too that stood out.

The music video is really great for that dark feel. I watched it in VR with a giant screen and it was epic.

I feel like the next chapter in this history book will be a name, currently obscure, that will be the name of a victim or assailant that kicks off the next wild ride. Gavrilo Princip, for example. I’m not giving space to more modern examples, but everyone learned of his victim’s name.

I think tomorrow would be a Good Friday to do it.

I had not considered the art file being shared. I love they are gaining popularity and those audiences are ones I want to reach.

I think I may share the file with a “show proof of donating to a relevant charity of your choice” . Like $10 for every 100 you want to print. But I will work that out.

Hopefully that scheduling clears up for you. I had a “possible allergic reaction” that landed me in ER w/ anaphylactic shock. Allergist follow-up: about 4 months out, and scheduling knew there was some doctor priority coming. My doctor pushed that and there was an “okay, how about tomorrow?”

I tried that *this week* even, and I definitely had a case of “they were better in my youth”. Bugles these days seem to have a flattened opening, rarer to find ones that would fit even a toddler’s fingers. But dig through enough and witch fingers (wizard?) can be found.

That seems like a proverb and blessing from somewhere: “May the worst of your problems be fixable with a new knife.”

I have these that I made and can send you to send out. Had a stack of them for a conference, handed some out and would love for these messages to be sent all over.

I could probably sticker mail them for free to people myself but have no idea the logistics there.

Road trip or conference coordination.

I think I could load everything into a vehicle. Or pack almost everything up to make it in hotel room, just benefits from an oven. Wouldn’t come close to the weirdest items I packed for a hacker con.

Potato love reduces the number of cranky hackers too.
