So, next week at Defcon Skytalks (an unofficial extra track of talks at Defcon, operated by 303, for off-the-record talks at Defcon), I'll be opening up the track with "When the Going Gets Weird, the Weird turn Pro", where I'll be trying to entertain (however many hung-over `con attendees manage to make it there in time for its 9am start) with tales of my life as an infosec dweeb, how the world we live in once rejected us as weird, only to become so weird itself that we weirdos ourselves must harness and finesse our own weirdness just to stay ahead of the curve now. I'll be handing out tips and encouragement on how not to become one of the Pinks, while still putting yourself out there to steer the flow of our weird world from within the maw of the beast. Terrible jokes will be provided throughout; those with underdeveloped senses of cynicism or heart problems are advised not to attend.
You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps.
