If you saw the talk and wanted more info on the topics presented within, or you wanted to attend it, but the room was full... never despair!

I'm making a website for it at my website: http://c4bl3fl4m3.googlepages.com/hackingsex

Right now, I'm still in the process of putting info up, but keep checking it out in the next weeks or so... when I'm done it'll have my notes for the presentation (with more info and hyperlinked), a list of URLs for more info on specific projects, pictures from my talk, video of the talk, and more!

What was that URL again? Oh yeah, http://c4bl3fl4m3.googlepages.com/hackingsex

BTW, I'd love to get your feedback on the talk. Did you like it? Did you hate it? What would you have changed? What would you like to learn more about? (for maybe next time?)

If you'd prefer to give me feedback directly, I can always be emailed at c4bl3fl4m3 at gmail dot com.

Awesome job! Glad to see you got a little bit bigger space this time around.

I was at your presentation and I had an interesting experience--I was sitting behind two federal agents. A bigger gun doesn't necessarily make a bigger man. They were so obviously embarrassed by the topic that it was hilarious to watch them. I wanted to tell you that you had a very diverse audience and I couldn't find your e-mail, so I blogged about it:

I know how difficult it is to get up in front of all of those people in Turing (I did it the next day), but you are brave and did a good job presenting.

Oh, my god, that's hilarious! Thanks for the story and the coverage!

And thanks for your feedback. FYI, if you or anyone else want to give me feedback directly, I'm c4bl3fl4m3 at gmail dot com.

For me, it wasn't the "all those people" part that was a problem. I'm a bit of a whore for the stage and I'm comfortable presenting in front of large groups of people. For me, the greater problem was that the room was dark, I had 2 big ol' spotlights on me, and I couldn't see beyond the 3rd row or so. I couldn't make eye contact with the people I was presenting to and so it felt more like an interrogation than it did me talking to a bunch of people about sex. I would have been FAR more comfortable if only I could have had them turn the house lights on. (I almost thought of asking them for just that.)

It's not just you, the spotlights totally threw me off as well. I was used to presenting to a lit room; I ended up totally not knowing what I was doing for the first minute or two of my presentation, and ended up keeping my shades on for the whole talk.

Welcome to the life of a stand up comic.

Well, I've already got the depression... does that count? :-)

If we scratch in a caffeine addiction I could say that I do believe that you just might have what it takes to be a fabu stand up comic!

Perhaps for the next HOPE "techno comics unplugged"?

Maybe it could be part of radio statler take II... you know to allow for some small anonymity during the pants peeing phase of comedy...

Wasn't there a stand up night at Hope Number 6?

bobby · 2008-08-04 04:17:37

You know Mr. 'con, that does sound vaguely familiar so I'll assume yer not lying.

Though I'm tempted to assume it didn't go well since it wasn't repeated...
Then again, maybe it went so well they didn't want to mess with success?

In any case, for the mere reason that the set up seems to be begging for stand up, I think it should happen again.

Rob T Firefly · 2008-10-13 07:14:38

I had planned to take out some time on track four and do a standup set, but my other responsibilities and the fact that I got really sick halfway through the con took care of that for me.

I'd still love to see and be part of an organized standup event next time around.

Sidepocket · 2008-10-13 07:59:53

And I would love once again to be a part of that Rob. :3

It's nice to know I have my own personal peanut gallery, thought it is not really of a gallery since it kind of only consists of you Pirho.
