Pivoting from Planning to Doing

You know what's awesome? When people go from "somebody ought to", to "I ought to".

The above tweet by Dan Kaminsky really got into my system.  As someone who makes lists of things to do, I often get trapped planning more than doing.  Since DEFCON 21, I have tried to focus on doing.  Here is a list of my successes so far:

• Rooted my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and installed Cyanogenmod 9.
• Studied Arduino and created a few basic projects.
• Started following security wonks on Twitter and have become fairly well-versed in the conversation.

Where to go from here?

• Hack Skylanders and Disney Infinity using tag writers and custom code.
• Help Ethan get through Scratch manual.  He has had a blast so far.
• Creating a product in Arduino.  Planning a card swipe emulator to apply my skills to real world annoyance.
• And probably most important: settle on a handle.  VegasVic?
