I'm speaking today at 9 pm:

> The New FBI and How It Can Hurt You
> On May 29, the Federal Bureau of Investigation dramatically changed its 
> focus. Now, instead of investigating crimes, its mission is to prevent 
> them, meaning they have virtual carte blanche to infiltrate any law 
> abiding organization or gathering to make sure all is right. And, even 
> better, their third priority of dangerous crimes to stop (next to 
> terrorism and espionage) is "cybercrime." We all know what a wide net that 
> can be. Hear the dangers firsthand from the people who follow this kind of 
> thing. Hosted by Mike Levine, Declan McCullagh, and Robert Steele.

and Saturday at noon:

http://www.h2k2.net/display_grid.khtml?event=17
> Educating Lawmakers - Is It Possible?
> Trying to educate Congress about technology is approximately as useful as 
> teaching a pig to type. It doesn't work and you get one peeved pig. But 
> there are sometimes ways to make a difference in law and policy circles 
> without becoming a wholly owned tool of the Demopublican Party. A 
> discussion with journalist Declan McCullagh and cryptologist Matt Blaze.

See y'all there!
