Looking for any major events like ComicCon... if there are any

"Hacking" == learning / sharing how things work. Sometimes to break them. But regardless it's very relevant to op's interests.

Can confirm that hackers are nerds. The less they need hardware to hack, the scarier they are.

Like learning to keep all of your electronics away from public access.
