DragonCon 2004, Day 2 Posted September 6, 2004 at 12:00 am

Titus and I headed back down town for our second and final day of DragonCon. Klingons and fairies were nowhere to be seen as you could feel the conference winding down. Even so, I felt like the day’s events proved to be among my best experiences of the *Con.

• 10:00 AM–11:30 AM, Inside Star Wars Characters [MOTF]
  • Actor Jeremy Bulloch
  • Writer Aaron Allston
• 11:30 AM–1:00 PM, Famous Unsolved Codes [EFF]
  • Cryptanalyst Elonka Dunin
• 1:00 PM–2:30 PM, Garrett Wang, Voyager’s Harry Kim [TREK]
  • Actor Garrett Wang

All of the events that we attended were great, but I was particularly impressed with the presentation of Famous Unsolved Codes by Elonka Dunin and the witty ramblings and recollections of Garrett Wang on the Trek programming track. I’m uninitiated in the art of code cryptography, but Ms. Dunin presented in such a way that made the topic engaging and accessible.
