I walked 9.1 km in 1 h 58 min (4.6 km/h). The Stride app has been a good investment because it has motivated me to exercise. (It costs 26 EUR per year, though.)

Next weekend we will host @remony in our community space in #Berlin, hosting our first ever @vvvv weekend workshop, with a focus on interactive particle systems made with the library VL.Fuse.
We need one more signup until tomorrow to make it happen!

Threat Modeling = Think BEFORE you act ☔
"Will it rain? Take umbrella."
"Will dog bite? Take stick."
That's threat modeling!
STRIDE Methodology (Microsoft):
S – Spoofing (Fake login)
T – Tampering (Data modification)
R – Repudiation ("Not me!")
I – Info Disclosure (Leaks)
D – Denial of Service (Crash)
E – Elevation (User → Admin)
Whiteboard + STRIDE = Secure design! 🔐

"The most powerful force in nature is the steady, quiet drip of persistence." - Futurist Jim Carroll
A shoutout to my good friend Greg today!
And I certainly appreciate the guy - he was one of the first to show up at the shopping mall at 8 am for my morning 'mall walks' when I was in the early stages of my spinal injury. (Jim Estill appeared, too, as did a few others! All are appreciated!)
He and I have been good friends since our sons met in school some twenty years ago. A lot of golf together (Arizona!), a lot of talk about tech and business, and a lot of talk about how careers wind down.
A lot has changed for Greg in a short period of time, and for me, there is a lot to learn from watching and encouraging him. First and foremost - real change isn't a single, grand event; it is the compounding effect of small, intentional choices. It’s the daily commitment to a process that isn't always visible, even when you’re right in the middle of it.
And the thing is - momentum is built in those quiet moments. It's found through the simple habit of showing up and refusing to stop. It's also knowing that when the path gets difficult, the most reliable resource is the navigator who can guide you - because they’ve already been down the same road.
Watching a friend hit their stride after putting in a lot of hard work is the ultimate reminder: the most certain way to get anywhere is to keep moving forward.

So I spent some time in #PlantUML trying to model #Risk #Trust #Attacks to tie #TOGAF #SABSA #Threatmodel and #PASTA #STRIDE together
As a Hacker, I don't need a fancy #diagram to visualise the attack vector and path I am already seeing. But as security architect/Team Blue I need to show it to others who don't see it.
And it has to be audit compliant.

I may appear inelegant in my comportment, may dance like a precocious tween on a sugar rush, and may have the sartorial grace of one recently released from prison, but thanks to my brief career as a male runway model in the eighties, give me a pair of headphones, the right tune, and a long hallway empty of other people and I can sashay that bitch like I own the place.
