My BayCon schedule

klwilliamsBayCon is a local convention held the last weekend in May (Memorial Day) in Santa Clara, California, though it used to be held, for years, in San Jose. It's a good local science fiction convention, though Fanime and Steampunk Alchemy are both held the same weekend, so the attendance is skewed toward the older, less costume-oriented fan.
The guests are David Weber and Ursula Vernon, among others. My schedule is:
1. Surveillance and the End of Privacy on Sunday at 11:30 AM in Bayshore
[I am moderating.]
(with David Friedman, Dario Ciriello, Griffin Barber)
Between government surveillance of citizens and ubiquitous cameras, is privacy a lost cause? What can you do to preserve your privacy?
2. Comics are weird! on Monday at 10:00 AM in San Tomas
(with Jason Malcolm Stewart, Kevin Andrew Murphy, Randy Smith (M), Tory Parker)
A discussion of comics including the abuses comic writers have been accused of since their inception.
3. Comic Book Villains 2.0 on Monday at 11:30 AM in Napa III
[I am moderating.]
(with Jason Malcolm Stewart, Kevin Andrew Murphy, Tory Parker)
It used to be that a super villain attempted world domination through global destruction. Now they run for elected office. How have comic book villains changed since the Golden Age? Is this a reflection of society or simply maturation of the media?
