Amalgamated the few suggestions by fans for the mascot. Hmm... This guy looks even more angry now.

Horray for DC406!
If you haven't checked them out, do so at dc406.com. They seem to be primarily focused on intermediate/advanced hacking methods. They're a group that closely follows Defcon.

Army Surplus... Hmmm
What would YOU do with an army surplus gunner drone?
These geeks made a wildly awesome WiFi mapping drone ^_^.

I would use it to deliver cats.

Misidentity Crisis
Who am I not?!! I mean really when I'm not me, who am I not supposed to be?
Curse you Descartes!
My nickname briefly changed from "Saint" to "Brick" before reverting; I had found another "theSaint" who lived locally-ish and he was also into Computer security. He had the nickname for two years, but he gave it up for me. What a goodfella. He now goes by "theSainted"

Two steps forward...
One step back. The flooring goes against building regulations. I'll have to have it removed on Saturday. No matter, I anticipated a few setbacks and this is nothing because there's still a week of extra set up time at this point and I'm almost to the end. MEH can handle one more major setback before we have to start finding places to make cuts. I'm a terrifying businessman when I put my mind to it.
It seems our Facebook fan-base is doubling every other week This is only mildly shocking as we have 26 Facebook fans(far more than enough for a special interest group such as my own). Our fan-growth seems to be based equally on a word-of-mouth than the advertising budget. Nine people have clicked "like" out of the ten people who viewed the FB page through an advertisement. This suggests to me that I should be focusing our marketing group on generating greater word of mouth through publicity stunts and public services. MEH has 12 page-views from Myspace advertising and 6 views from google AdSense. Mondays and Wednesdays seem to be peek days to get exposure. I haven't come to a verified explanation for this, but I have a good theory. I would like to ensure I know what I'm talking about before I throw any wild hypothesis out on a blog. Sorry.
The blog poll has most of its votes on "Maintaining Anonymity". This is excellent news. I was a little worried what sort of people would select "Creating Thermite." However, all knowledge is free. It's MEH's job to guide and accelerate the knowledge in a safe and more responsible manner. Dinosaurs will die.
Still looking for a projector.

Speeding Along Like a Waxed Modem:P
GHAhh! Things are picking up fast here! We're already getting emails from... fans? They all thank us for fighting the good fight! We've now got some dry wall up but it needs to be mudded/sanded before it can be painted. I have a design layout made by our resident guerilla artist on how the wall is going to look; he's going nuts waiting for our slow asses to finish the walls. I'm going to be so happy when it's done! I've subscribed to 2600 and I would like to make available my: programs, computers, books, magazines and literature.
Soon, I'll have a CEH training center so you'll have something to show for your efforts.
I've met with my charter members both as a group and individually to see what their desires and inputs are. I would like someone to champion a cause that could maintain synergy between us and other interest groups such as the Capital City Amatuer Radio Club, the high school computer science classes, the college gaming/computer club and the chamber of commerce with its ties to the local computer science businesses(Maximus, Northrop Grumman, Black Mountain, etc). Membership can be paid for in volunteer time(which is recorded by handle, date, duration and description)
-----------------How is the CEH coming, Saint?-----------------------
Glad you asked! :P My personal progress on the CEH: The CEH test is very comprehensive. I expected a watered-down quiz of theoretical usages and comprehension of CCNA-type functionality. I don't think anyone needs the CEH to be a hacker, but the CEH is damn-near impossible to get if you aren't a hacker. It seems to be more technology-based than I thought it would be.
I noticed that the practice tests were missing some minor things(mapping of hardware to create hardwired exploits such as key loggers and relay stations). Other than basic Social Engineering, I haven't found anything about psychology of security, which I believe is grossly overlooked.
I'm still on track to take the test Monday September 6th.
