Memorial Day Weekend. Fleet Week in NYC. The Jolt is ice-cold. The troops are caffeinated. Some say the Cola Wars ended in ’91. But those of us who lived through Operation Sundevil know better. Summercon: America’s oldest hacker conference. Est. 1987.

The CFP is closed, the reviews are done, and notifications—both acceptances and regrets—are out. Thanks to everyone who submitted—the depth and creativity on display made this year’s decisions especially tough. Sam the CFP Eagle will see you in Brooklyn. 🦅

"I've seen group chats you people wouldn't believe, USN ships firing salvos on Houthi's off the shoulder of southern Arabia ... I've watched tomahawk plumes shimmer in the dark near the gulf of Aden ... All those moments, will be lost in time, like 👊🇺🇸🔥 in auto-deleting Signal messages."
