In an ideal world, in a few hours, a plane will depart from Madrid Barajas International Airport and with destination Berlin-Tegel Airport. Hopefully, I will be inside that plane. This isn’t an ideal world, however, so chances are the flight will be delayed. But one way or another, I hope to find my way to Berlin today (or tomorrow, going by my sleep cycle).

Pack up has been interesting. Behold:

Standards vary, but I think this is somewhere between “reasonable by 25c3 standards” and “completely insane”. This should be fun though. See if you can spot the key components. FYI: My Wii lives in that 56K modem box.

In an attempt to keep this blog from developing a severe case of cobwebs, I’ll try to keep you posted on what goes on at 25c3. Here’s the vital information:

• 25C3 opening is Dec 27th at 10:00AM CET
• Our talk (Console Hacking 2008: Wii Fail) is on Dec 28th at 9:45PM CET
• We’ll have a 12-seat table near the middle left of the Hackcenter

I’ll be arriving there on the 26th, a bit after Erant and bLAStY. Hope I can make it to the hotel with zero knowledge of German.
