DEFCON 10 is this weekend. For the first time in 5 years I'll have made the concious decision not to go. Why? I know too much to be lame and I don't know enough to be hardcore. Although the idea of seeing some old faces appeals to me; the major draw was the feeling of belonging. When I would get there I would feel like "I belong here," but before I left I would feel as though I've changed and so has the spirit of the 'con. Maybe when I've reached a point where I'm knowledgeable enough to go head to head with the likes of zSnark, I'll return. But for now I'll leave a catapillar and maybe return in the future as a butterfly. - "Some day you'll know little catapillar. Some day you'll know."
