saturday at defcon 13

The halmark of an early morning at the Alexis Park on defcon staturday is the marked decrease in overal BPM. It peaks at about 3am then slowly drops off as dawn approaches.

For me...at dawn...the pillows come off my head just enough to turn off my wrist watch alarm. First thing in the morning...drink water...two glasses. The heat is searing at over 100F each day. I like it that way though.

I take a short walk to my favorite breakfast food serving place in this area. Mr.Lucky's at the Hard Rock Cafe. they have great food in my price range. A new flair has been added to the lunchtime spread...Fake new york pizza next to a newly built cvs 1/8 mile east for the hotel.

So last night there was a good session on russian hacker sites. How the russian economy is broken and encourages identity theft, software pirating and so on. And then the discussion turned to how we can find and make sense of russian criminal element to better test and protect systems in the west.
