IT generalist. #infosec #travel #hawaii #hiking
Formerly of Guam, now in Hawaii. Very aware of being on land illegally annexed by the US Government from a Sovereign Kingdom.
I am just trying to grow/change and leave the world better than I found it.
Salty Cybernaut: I helped write a book (well, let's be honest, paraphrase one) on how to use the Internet. Finger, IRC, FIBS (First Internet Backgammon Server), FTP, and other things that only Linux users even remember. I did witness a man freaking WHISTLE with just his mouth into a phone and crash a BBS system. I learned IBM System 34 OCL before I learned LOGO on an Apple IIe. I might have suggested to a friend who was friends with a singer of a band that Delphi was a good way to access the Internet. I am that guy who maintained a usenet FAQ. Sorry, I'd edit it, but the ISP I was using folded before I could transfer control to a new email address.

Walking through a second hand book store should feel like you’re flying through the trench run on the Death Star.

Apropos of nothing, and *waves arm* everything really.

Sometimes I open my mastodon and am just gobsmacked at how many beautiful humans there are on here.

Authentic.
Kind.
Goofy.
In love with the small things.
Still trying to make the world a better place.

A balm for my battered heart. Thank you for being you. ✨
Every last one of you glorious weirdos.

There is no logic. No moral consistency. Only Zionism and white supremacy.

I collect NASA Special Publications, and just got SP-4402 "Origins of NASA Names", from 1976. It's a goldmine.

For example why did the rocket that launched the first US satellite (Explorer 1) have a UE on it? Because it was booster 29 in the Jupiter C production line and ABMA (what became NASA Marshall) used a goofy little cipher to confuse Soviet spies (and everyone else).
