RSA 2008: Incoming

"....the definitive counterbalance to the criminals he hunts: an unrelenting anti-crime boogeyman willing to employ any means necessary when taking down his prey. In a present day society where the victimization of innocent people has seemingly reached a point of saturation, there is something undeniably attractive and compelling about seeing bad people come to equally bad endings. He seems to understand this psychological component and taps this darker nature of the reader, drawing them into his world where the carnage and suffering of criminals becomes, for lack of a better term, entertaining."

I'm pretty sure I saw the above on an Amazon review somewhere and thought ooh, that's an awesome notable quotable. Save for future reference.

So I did.

And, as it turns out, it's a damn good description of the theme for my upcoming presentation at RSA 2008 with Robert Vamosi.

Tough on Crime; Tough on the Causes of Crime; Punching Crime in the Face with a Jackhammer.

That's right kids, we're going for BERT AND ERNIE level. I hate talks where nobody understands what's actually going on, so if you can walk and chew gum at the same time, come on in and enjoy the show as we point and laugh at scumbags on the Internet. I'll also be showing you some tips, hints and tricks for taking down leet hax websites.

And if all else fails, there's always the sock puppets...
