    Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

    Since they didn't interview you, I ran across this clip while looking for something else.

    Here's an interview with Ryan Clarke (also used to work for Parallax) and me at DEFCON.

    Note that this interview was shot near the end of DEFCON and my voice is shot.

    So.. Sleeping is frowned on when you are at DEFCON.

    Sure looks like fun, I think I would be most at home in the Social Engineering section. Did you get to see any of the phone calls?
    Not trying to take away from the badge, The badge is way cool.:thumb::thumb:

    I was too busy having fun working with countless new Propeller programmers. What I enjoyed is that they came from a variety of experience and had NO PROBLEM adapting to Spin. Though I went to DEFCON wanting to see some presentations, I saw none. I spent my time talking about and teaching Propeller coding, and I had a blast doing it.

    BTW... DEFCON has a presentation for 1st-timers to remind them of the 3-2-1 Rule: Get at least three hours of sleep each night, have at least two meals per day, and take at least one shower per day. The opportunity to earn an Uber badge drives some attendees to forget about taking care of themselves.

    For those that haven't been to DEFCON, I recommend it. It's a really cool experience.

    Never knew it was called the "3-2-1 rule". That is the kind of advice my mother gave me for normal life!

    Now that you mention it Heater I seem to recall being taught a 3-2-1 rule for tooling design.

    Back in the 1980 West Coast Computer Fair, they had a 3-2-0 rule with wide adherence.
