Defcon 2016 photos and videos
Close ups of my much coveted badge. Some hardware and base stations of the wifi village. Both Information Society and Berlin played on Saturday night! Shot a video of an amazing demo from the Car Hacking Village. A car modified to play games instead of driving. Also, the best of my flight home. Some great pictures of Hoover dam and some of the solar farms and mesas as we few home.
Defcon is on!
A little disappointed about the electronic badges selling out. Already met some amazing people. Enjoyed some great talks. Watched some live social engineering and a bomb defusal contest. Tons of great hardware hacking. An arduino powered robot poured me a shot!

The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo – an amazing adventure!
The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is an incredible place. We saw, touched, learned about and enjoyed countless animals from all over the globe. Incredible views, amazing animals. I got a video of a Grizzly Bear trying to catch a fish underwater! Check out my pictures and videos. This is certainly one of the top zoos I have ever visited. (I would recommend taking the zoo shuttle for $2- My legs are still sore from all the walking up hill). We also found a few extra animals like a Fearow.
Wondercon 2016 Pictures! At long last
The convention ended weeks ago. I Finally got all my pictures sorted (as well as my dad’s). These are a few of my favorites. enjoy. I had a blast and as usual, the costumes were amazing. Thanks to Forest and my dad for making this happen and sharing your pictures. Huge thanks to everyone at Wondercon and especially everyone in costume (please send me links and i will happily include them here). See you next year!
Beautiful day for flying
It started off a bit hazy. The air was not ideal for photography, but I still managed to capture a few great shots. It was actually my first visit to Catalina Island. Luckily, it was the first day of the late hours, but unfortunately the restaurant did not get the memo. We had time to hike about before taking off again. We took a meandering route back to Hawthorne and did some sight seeing. I even took the yoke. Continue reading for some amazing pictures.
last minute arrival to TMBG show!
Coming from Wondercon to the show was only a bit stressful because I had left my tickets at home. Luckily we got there moments before the show started. Our late arrival didn’t help us stake a great spot. Luckily my new camera has impressive zoom for it’s tiny package. I even got some amazing video.
Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix!
The MIM is an amazing place. I just scratched the surface of its unbelievable exhibits. They have instruments and recordings from some of the most influential artists throughout history. They even have a room where you can play some instruments yourself. I saw an incredible collection of eclectic and innovative instruments from around the world. It includes a 2 ton dance organ called Apollonia from the 1920s that is played twice a day and John Lennon’s Piano used to compose Imagine. Here are just a few of the images I collected.
