I spoke with @berniework for @CypherCon #HackerHistory

Bill had some great stories about how he started out helping his Dad and eventually found himself working at phone company trying to sell TV and a TV company trying to sell phones

It's a really fun story

Thank you @CypherCon for another great year. I look forward to version 10! I enjoyed speaking, and it was my first speaker talk, ever. I learned a few things and appreciated the warm-up speaker spot. My slides will be posted shortly, along with what I’m dubbing “Project Birdwatch” will be linked here.

Happy Friday!

The past two days saw the first Linux Village event focused on helping the "Linux Curious" learn some of the basics and try out Linux as their daily driver OS. There will be many more to come, but thanks to @CypherCon for giving us the space to do this.

Now to be just an attendee at @BSidesMKE !
