North End Police Station, Greenwich St., San Francisco

Built in 1912 to maintain security during the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition nearby (of which the Palace of Fine Arts is a remainder), the North End Police Station was abandoned by the 1980s.

The impressive Spanish Colonial Revival building became San Francisco Landmark #218 in 1996, and has been converted to private use as a residence and art studio.

An imposing Spanish Colonial-style building with a phone pole in front of it. Some of San Francisco's bright green cherry-headed conures (parrots) sit on the phone wires above the scene.

Looking for birds? Mama helped me make a list of other birds on Mastodon. She says you can make comments on the sheet and she’ll add or correct information. You can also comment here if you like. Please share so we can find lots of birds!

Our two featherbabies, Capri the #PearlyConure (on the left), and Chapi the #GreenCheek #conure. They were both adopted from different owners, and we kept they names they gave them. :)

With pet birds, my special interest is senior birds, rescue birds, peachfronted #conures

Note: Courtney was about 27 years old at the time I took this photo. He lived to be 29 years & 11 months, very old age for a small conure.

Since I'm pretty new here, and I got a whole pile of new followers last night, I figured I'd post my own #introduction! Peer pressure etc. :)

In my non-professional life, I'm a #Canadian living in #Seattle (been in the US since 2013), I have a cool husband named Chris, and we have two pet #parrots - green cheek #conures (GCCs) named Clang (like the C compiler) and Sharp (like C#).

Professionally, I've been interested in or working in #infosec kinda forever.. in highschool I used to write hacks and cheats for Starcraft / Diablo 2, some of which are on my GitHub profile. They don't work anymore, of course, but you can see what my old C++ code used to look like :)

Then I went to university at the University of #Manitoba, got a #compsci degree, and worked as a programmer before having a bunch of different infosec jobs - most recently, Google and Counter Hack.

These days, I'm a Lead Security Researcher at @greynoise where I spend all day analyzing network traffic to look for vulneraiblities. I get to write them up on GreyNoise Grimoire, give talks about vulns that I think are cool, and do any kind of open source development that I find interesting!

I also develop #CTF challenges, particularly for #BSidesSF. We release everything open source afterwards, so you can run them yourself or see our solutions. I also write about them on my blog - although, since I write semi-professionally now, I don't write much other than CTF writeups there.

And finally, me and a bunch of friends founded a #hackerspace called #SkullSpace in like 2012, which is #Winnipeg's best (also only) hackerspace. I haven't been there forevvver, but I'm still a card-carrying member and look forward to visiting again some day. I also help run The Long Con, Winnipeg's premier community security conference!

It's great to meet all y'all!
