Burned up, not out
Schuyler I was going way too hard pre-DEFCON and I am paying for it now. However, you all are going to have to pay for it too, because it’s going to be a couple of weeks before the new issue is out. However! I highly recommend you download the current Vol. 2 Issue 1 preview available on the front page, or from this link: Boom!

Lot to cover in the coming issue and we’re already looking ahead to issues 2 and 3 behind the scenes. We have some hang-ups at the moment, trying to make sure we cover all of our bases with one of our bigger stories and I’m going to be updating and adding a lot of great photos and diagrams to the RKS piece.

Plenty more in store from us as the days and weeks roll on. DEFCON was a blast, as Mike indicated and I am proud to announce myself as the winner of the main event this year. Haha, I didn’t even make the finals of speed picking, however, the new champ of that is Doug Farre, who you all know and love and I honestly forgot to find out who won the points competition. The event I hosted resulted in a perfect tie between Sam and a gentlemen I never got the name of (my fault, not his!) and I made some wonderful contacts and got to put more faces to names than ever before. NDE <3’s DC.

Alright - back to the grind! This issue releases when all of the articles are finalized, but keep checking the blogroll, we’ll be adding to it with news and observations as time rolls on.

Defcon 16
MBI
Well, I’m back from Defcon 16. I am tired, but I had a lot of fun and got to meet a lot of great folks.

The preview of NDE Magazine Volume 2 Issue 1 was released Friday morning. Congratulations to Schuyler for being able to put together the final layout while sitting in a hotel room, using a borrowed laptop. The full issue should be out within a couple of weeks.

I jotted down some random thoughts about my experiences there. There were too many to list here but if you’d like to read them, they’re on our forums at Lockpickology .
