I'm usually not good at describing myself... Mostly what I can say about myself is I have a somewhat crazy personality in a good way as I am told by some old friends of mine I like humor especially if it's the tongue-n-cheek type persay, as it makes things interesting. Though it's completely funny that I'm down right shy (though at times I think possibly I have Social Anxiety Disorder, really don't know for sure.) Oh yeah I'm from California, I live a bit near San Fransico but only a few minutes to an hour from it. I consider myself somewhat of a Liberal and somewhat not, it really depends on the subject. Otherwise I'm a pretty laid back gamer/computer nerd/music fiend.

The Race to Zero

From the page: "The Race to Zero contest is being held during Defcon 16 at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, 8-10 August 2008.

The event involves contestants being given a sample set of viruses and malcode to modify and upload through the contest portal. The portal passes the modified samples through a number of antivirus engines and determines if the sample is a known threat. The first team or individual to pass their sample past all antivirus engines undetected wins that round. Each round increases in complexity as the contest progresses.

We are not creating new viruses and modified samples will not be released into the wild, contrary to the belief of some media organisations"
