Thanks to all who showed up (and participated<\/a> online<\/a>!) at BayFF<\/a> last night to talk tech, Iran and all kinds of other stuff. It was a pleasure to speak with Danny O’Brien<\/a> again and meet Jacob Appelbaum<\/a> of Tor for the first time. Thanks also to David Farris<\/a>, Alex Farivar<\/a> and Nate Cardozo<\/a> for coming and supporting me.<\/p>\n

Also big ups to Sean Savage<\/a> (who I’ve written<\/a> about before, and first met six years ago<\/a>!) and PariSoMa<\/a> for organizing this event and making their space available to us.<\/p>\n

If I met you last night and I didn’t give you a business card, but you want to contact me, do so here. My email is in the upper right of this page. <\/p>\n

Finally, I’m giving away five green wristbands like these:<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n
