Here is my ESTIMATION for the talks that I plan to attend, however as in all the past ‘cons I have attended my schedule could be described as “Aggressive”. This is one of those years that there are so many talks that have my interested, there is plenty of times I wish there was three of me. The speakers and organizers of Defcon have really put up a good show this year.

I will be twittering (tweeting?) the talks that I end up in — if nothing else for a reminder incase I somehow “misplace” those memories later that night. :)
