4) Getting to switch things down a gear at the annual one-of-a-kind ShabbatCon with great conversations and the famous "no-fire" talks.

5) Crazy golf at the Chainguard/Orca party with Avi and Kim, I do love crazy golf!

3a) Volunteering for the OWASP Community space at DEFCON to talk to people about the foundation and collect donations in exchange for t-shirts.

3b) Delivering a "What is OWASP" talk for the community space as well as leading a packed discussion about AppSec and vibe coding.
