At the Defcon Hacker Conference in Las Vegas, Undercover Federal Agents, and probably foreign agents, were attending. Probably to see what is going on, look at the booths and identify attendees through photos taken surreptitiously packers jersey. The hackers set up chip readers at a table the attendees needed to walk by in plain site. They started getting hits from government agency issued ID cards.
As a reporter for the souvenir, gift, and travel industries, I'm always on the lookout for fresh and exciting new product in the marketplace. Usually I find myself pretty unimpressed with the offerings that I see. The formula appears to have stayed the same for decades: tired cartoon graphics, boring text, and bland images of maps abound. When I stumbled upon the company Fifth Avenue Manufacturers, I was pleasantly surprised to find something bold and original.
While recently visiting the city of Orlando, I attended a sports memorabilia convention. If you are into the sport memorabilia hobby like I am, specifically game-used memorabilia, you would love this convention. Game-used memorabilia are items that were worn or used in play during an actual sporting event Packers pro shop. The items most often sought after are usually game-worn jerseys and autographed baseballs. I actually bought a game-used jersey at the convention that was worn by Cal Ripen Jr. the well know shortstop and third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. He was one of my childhood role models and most cherished athletes when I was a kid.
