The Voting Village will return to #defcon34 in W219-W220 this Friday-Sunday!

In addition to the voting machine lab, we have some terrific, and newsworthy, talks this year. Come hear about de-anonymizing ballots in Georgia, and the inside scoop on the (unpublished) Puerto Rican election systems report, among many other things.

(This is as close as Philly ever got to Las Vegas architecture)

Captured with a DSLR and a 19mm shifting lens.

The former Harbison's Dairies, locally known as the "milkbottle building", is a prominent local landmark in the Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia. It was long vacant at the time this was captured, but has since been spruced up and redeveloped as a mixed-use commercial space. Surrounding development has enveloped the building; the milkbottle-shaped water tower is no longer readily visible from the street.

AF1 clear to land LAS 26L

Looks like the backup just landed at Nellis, and trump seems to be on approach into LAS. I guess he wants to hit the slot machines in the terminal.

@mattblaze
He's coming to accept the DEFCON World Peace Prize

He's in the new emolumental 747-800, with one of the old VC-25A accompanying as backup.

Hmm, Trump just departed LAX en route Las Vegas. I wonder if he's planning to crash the Voting Village.

Captured with the Rodenstock 50mm/4.0 HR Digaron-W lens (@ f/5.6) and the Phase One back, shifted vertically a bit to maintain geometry.

This is a straightforward composition showing the front of the Smithsonian Castle, which is not actually a castle, and, despite being part of the Smithsonian, not actually a museum, either (it houses mostly offices and a small visitor center). It sits on the National Mall, which, despite the name, is not a shopping center. Lies and deceit are everywhere in DC!

My hotel room has a very nice table that's perfect for setting up with my laptop. Except it appears to have been placed at the geometrically farthest point from any power outlet.

I thwarted them by traveling with an extension cord.

@MontgomeryGator What's a rhetorical question?

If hackers are so smart, what are we doing in Las Vegas in August?

To be fair, Trump's tax returns *were* leaked, and it's only fair he get the same compensation any American would under the circumstances: a year of free credit monitoring.
