As previously mentioned, I'll be going to SOURCE Boston tommorow. I'll be attempting to the conference on my somewhat shiny and new Twitter Feed. Per haps I may even, *gulp* "live blog" (Ugh. I feel dirty for saying that).

Truth be told, I'm not 100% sure what to expect. Most of my previous "security" conferences have been either DEFCON or HOPE, which I assume will be slightly more "low brow" then SOURCE. For example, I'm not expecting SOURCE to have A room full of hammocks you can crash on. But, from what I can gather, and from what the schedule says, it will be a pretty good time. It looks like it's going to be a good mix of business types and security geeks, and it's approaching the idea with the right attitude (Pub crawl anyone?). Another plus, any conference where I don't expect the conference attendees to smell like week-old BO == Win. (Hooray!)

I'll be staying mostly on the Security Technology track, with possibly heading over to the Application Security track if something over there catches my interest. I'll be attending the pre-conference gathering tonight, along with the reception tomorrow night and the pub crawl on Thursday. If anyone of the four of you who read this want to meet up, IM, text, tweet, comment, or poke me at the conference.

One of the cool things about the new job, is that they are very pro-conference. Even better, they have a budget for conferences that cost money! Source Boston sounds really cool. While it may not be as cool as DEFCON or ShmooCon, it definitely has that "hacker-ish" feel to it. Of course, any conference with a pub crawl associated with it definitely gets the thumbs up from me.
