Kidding... but also serious. 😘⌚

A quick rant…

I recently attended McClure Day at Ohio University, and as a proud alumnus, it was a real joy. A few years back, my major merged with the VR and Video Game Design school.

At the awards banquet, I sat with a family whose daughter was to win an award. I happily congratulated her and wished her the best for the future. She was part of the VR and Video Game Design program, something quite unfamiliar to me as an Information Security professional, but winning that award clearly took grit.

Her father, however, seemed less than thrilled and asked if she’d ever be able to find a career with such a degree. He did this in front of her, an awkward experience for both daughter and me.

Parents, do better. Trust your kids. College is the time to learn and grow, and on the day she achieved something great, he chose to dampen her joy.

To her—whoever you are—keep going. Reach for the stars.

Sales Rep: "We've said too much already..."

Vendors - please don't break trust as sales tactic, it's sleezy. Playing Kindergarten isn't beneficial for anyone in infosec.

Looking forward to something not infosec related.

Much needed relaxation, coming up!

Shout-out to @frameworkcomputer for building something amazing.

After two years, I wanted to refresh my laptop and make a couple upgrades:
-2.8k screen, 120hz refresh with dynamic refresh rate
-webcam for travel
-keyboard refresh to cut down on rattling

This upgrade worked out like a dream!

Keep it up, Framework!

Sensible upgrade time!

Ordered for my Framework 13:
-2nd Generation Webcam
-2nd Generation Keyboard (can't wait for the metallic rattle to be gone)
-2.8k (120Hz) VRR screen

@frameworkcomputer thanks for keeping the dream alive.
