Matt’s back from #DEFCON with all the fun happenings and information he learned while out in Vegas. We also get a non-geeky girl’s perspective from special guest, Grace.

I’m lazy and just want to get this posted, and it’s late, so i’m just going to dump the tags here, I’ll link them at a later time, and add Matt’s pics.

Well, we’re without the Flying and the Knee for this one.  It was supposed to be a tech show, and it still kinda was, but we went on tangents all over the spectrum from sharks, to movies, to iPhone apps. I mean how can one ignore The Period Tracker app? We did cover the Commodore 64 emulator app, which Sniper quickly purchased, covered theories on how to not pay for wi-fi at hotels, iPhone MMS and tethering, which somehow led to a discussion about wind turbines and solar panels.
Anyways, we were live this show, and a very special thanks to the zeroes of people that listened live. Thanks to Mark for sitting in on this one to keep it less geeky, even still if you’re not into tech, fuck off and skip this one.

Wall of sheep, Defcon, Defcon 17, twitter, Goons, DoS, Dan Kaminsky, RFID, hacking the prius, hacking, hacking Air Traffic Control, VAX, Retro Room, lockpicking village, scavenger hunt, Dark Tangent, Killer Bees.

We MIGHT have the phones back next week.

I had to contemplate even sending this one to the mailing list or not. All over the place again, just not in a good way. Matt was in Vegas at Defcon on a shitty wifi connection, Knee didn’t feel well, we went from Olympics talk to tech talk to “let’s just end the show”. Not our worst, but it’s down there, there were a couple of highlights. 1 in 26 ain’t bad, right? Or maybe some people should just have the show notes open so we don’t keep going off on humorless tangents.
