Hi all,

Larry has it right.  There was very little technical content at RSA this year.  
All of the vendors on the show floor had pitches that sounded exactly the same. 
 Last year there was much more software security presence.

The good news for our field is that at the (small) executive forum, there was a 
fair amount of discussion of software security.  Justin Peavey from Omgeo put 
together a panel on software security that I helped with.  That was good.

Now attempting to fly home on the united cattle call cart.

Some years ago at an RSA Conference I recall seeing Jefferson
Starship.  At least one song had altered lyrics for the GAK
issue of the year, but that was not a whole lot of security
content in a general session.
