So I went to #BSidesLV this week but had to duck out before #defcon. I hadn’t been to a security con since BSidesSF in Feb 2020. So much has obviously happened since then, including me having moved away from #DFIR and into the security awareness space. Before the pandemic, I was already pretty jaded by security. Over the pandemic I also have grown very jaded of tech and capitalism, which in turn caused me to push away my security career by association. But @BSidesLV unexpectedly reminded me of what I love about security, particularly detection engineering and threat hunting. It’s got me excited about the future of my security career for the first time in a long time. I still desperately want to advance my writing and photography work as well. But lucky for me, security pays really well and can fund my art 😆 I’ve just got to figure out how to do it all and not fall into capitalistic business that is so easy to do.

I loved this strip on color blindness from the Nib.

I guess since I call myself a photographer, I have to have the cliché mirror self portrait.

My cover story on Pinky Yun was published two weeks ago in the Metro! Sorry I didn’t post here sooner. But it’s the story I’ve worked the hardest on, by far.

My story on Pink Yun is done! He was a legendary Hong Kong tattoo artist who spent the latter half of his career in San Jose. Publication was pushed out to next week to the 26th! Look for it in the Metro 🙌🏻
