I accidentally became the CISO. I didn't want this job, but the job chose me. I'm scared, and I want to go home.

My kids have stolen my gaming chair from my office. I need to buy myself a new desk chair. Not gaming this time. Thinking about a Leap. What else should I be considering?

Last week, I met with a marketing freelancer to put together a strategic marketing plan for my company.

This morning, me to freelancer: “Heeeeeyyyy, so, I had an idea. It might change the plan a wee bit.” 😬

OMG, I have become my bosses. 🤣😭🤦‍♂️

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but executives aren’t going to read more than 3 sentences of that email you’re writing. Get to the point.

I'll need some audience volunteers to test the live caller workflow. If anyone is interested in helping me do some testing this week, let me know.

I can't afford therapy, so I'm just going to watch a bunch of standup comedy and come to grips with my trauma that way.

I have the opportunity to speak to a couple classes of 8th graders about cyber security for career day in a few weeks. What would you be sure to mention if you were me?

A line from a Veteran’s Day speech last year has stuck with me, and it’s worth sharing: “When civilization is at its worst, that is when we must be at our best.”

Civilization is made up of individuals. However small, our actions make a difference. Every interaction, every day.

Well, billable work is done for the day. I suppose I should go test my generator ahead of the impending winter doom.

So far, he has funded development all on his own, but now he needs help for some huge new features. He has a Kickstarter going right now to help raise funds to support development. Please check it out and help if you can!

It incorporates gamification challenges and also involves people in your support network to help you successfully achieve your goals. I love the approach! This app could help so many people.
