DefCon speakers guide to #OccupyWallStreet hand signals

Next year, at DefCon (the world's largest hacking conference), speakers are going to be confronted by hand signals (like 'twinkles') that were developed during the #OccupyWallStreet protests. That's because much of the audience will have attended one of the many "Occupy" protests.

So that speakers don't get weirded out by this, I thought I'd write up a brief guide.

Independent reporting of #OccupyWallStreet

I was unhappy with the poor journalistic coverage of the #OccupyWallStreet protests, so I went to Wall Street myself to see what’s going on, and report on it.

It’s the quality of the coverage, not the amount that's the problem. It’s been on the nightly news every night for the past week, but there has been little “serious” reporting.
