This weekend, I attended our local hacker conference in Phoenix, CactusCon. While this might not be one of the big ones, it is really starting to grow. The organizers expected around 1,000 attendees this year, but ended up with final numbers around 2,200, with about 350 of those being kids.

How Secure Are We, Really?
This past weekend I attended DEF CON 26. I’ve been following DEF CON for years, but this was my first time attending DEF CON, and it was a generally great experience. As I’ll get into, this year was definitely not without its problems, but I’m glad I went, and I plan to return. A lot of people came together to get me there this year, and I couldn’t be more grateful that they did.
