Re: Interest in Hardware Hacking Village

I'd like to help out as well. It's been a while since I did much with electronics but like bombnav this will be my 3rd con and I'd like to be more involved. I brought my wife last year and pretty much sealed the deal that she'll never return (marriage tip: don't combine an anniversary trip with a hacker conference and the MC unless your wife is totally into it too). Hence I should have more time on my hands this go 'round. Who do we talk to about signing up?

Re: Interest in Hardware Hacking Village

they'll probably welcome help from anyone who knows a diode from a dildo.

and cue all the bad one-liner jokes stating either "how diodes are like dildoes" or "why diodes are better than dildoes" etc etc etc

here's a few starters...

1. they both have the ability to turn women on, if the individual in question is cool enough
2. the best and most expensive ones take lots of electricity
3. overuse or overtaxing of either can result in excessive heat and eventual ruin
4. you are looked at like a real weirdo if you try to return a used diode or dildo

heh, now this whole thing makes me want to quote Dimitri Martin, a young hipster kid who has a delightfully subtle style of comedy...

i never had to pluralize dildo before. i don't know if that's right, it sort of likes /dill- DUHS/

i hope i never have to again... like in a deposition or something...

"how many dildoes were there?"

"i don't know but i'm sore and i want to go home"

wow... there's absolutely everything out there on the tubes. the video clip of that segment of Dimitri's act can be found here. while he doesn't always represent data on a graph properly, it's still pretty good. you deserve a break and your employers work you too hard for too little money. take seven minutes out of your day and go watch it.

I can't speak for the people running the Hardware Village, but they'll probably welcome help from anyone who knows a diode from a dildo.

Unfortunately, there are probably some people at DEFCON who don't!

Re: Interest in Hardware Hacking Village

I am at a loss at the style of your posts.... either I am not understanding what you are saying or you are trying to get me to go away as I am not welcome to help.

The Mystery Challenge involves embedded systems and electronics, which pretty much goes hand-in-hand with the stated goals of the Hardware Village.

You don't enjoy embedded systems/electronics? Hum. Ok. I'm confused about the offer to help in the village then...

Sorry about the font. I am a electronics nerd working as a engineer on the other side of the Mojave Desert in California. This will be my third Con and I am looking to help out in some way.
