Greetings, I'm hoping that if you are reading here you have not been up on the wall of sheep, but you have enjoyed our amusing displays.
We are well ahead of schedule on getting together hardware and tools to make this years display a lot more interesting. Now is the time for me to get some feedback from the audience about what you would like to see. Now is probably also the time for me to have some private conversations with some of the network folks to work out some of the details of the hardware we can and will bring.
Along with the fun displays of captured usernames and passwords, we are also working on a scrolling window of live IM conversations just so you can enjoy gems like last years "I'm really afraid to check my email, they are monitoring the network and getting people's usernames and passwords". (AIM username available for a minor fee (ie, we'll be there early Thursday, bring beer)).
I'm really excited about a new display, a second projector screen that I almost have together. I am testing technology that will display the exact position of every active WiFi device within range with a resolution of 1 meter. I think this display will be almost as much of a draw as the wall of sheep, as people move about the room and watch their icon move, and much more entertaining (for me) will be people whipping out their script kiddy toys to try and evade the evil trackers who are obviously reading their minds.
Let me know your thoughts and PM me if I need to talk to you.

Damnit: I really need to stop sobering up between defcons...
