I have triumphantly retuned to Berlin, land of club mate and hacker activism. It’s time for the yearly conference of Chaos Communications Congress, the longest running hacker con in the world. I have the honor of speaking with Herr Urbach of Telecomix, on “Your Disaster/Crisis/Revolution just got Pwned” We’ll be in Saal3 day four at 11:30a. The whole congress streams and you should definitely check out what you can, but definitely catch ours. Here’s the prezi we’ll use, check again later for an updated deck and video.

Sitting in the work area at bcc, while the network and other infrastructure are installed for the long days ahead. Learning about packets in packets. Learning about the historic relationship of names, biometrics, ownership, and sovereignty. Learning about the crazy haircuts that circumvent facial recognition. And, as a friend put it, “an entire airport just flew over my head” for Merideth Petterson’s talk on the Science of Insecurity, with Turing-complete code taking an infinite amount of time to secure. Cory Doctorow even gave a talk. All the talks are available online in the upcoming months – check them out.
