Breaking in new Brompton with short rides to increase my confidence. Today, rode over to Safeway on S to practice folding/rolling/unfolding in public.
Still a little nervous riding on streets with traffic but no embarrassing spills this time. 🚲
All tucked in at home in hall closet. This is one of top reasons I picked this bike.
Returned from a week visiting my daughter in NY. Pippin did well with my pal pet-sitting but he’s sticking close for now. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon
Making some dark chocolate port ganache for rolled truffles.
Pippin is camera shy this #Caturday so a freshly made bed is perfect hiding spot from the petarazzi. #CatsOfMastodon
Something I love about the Kindle app is that it allows household sharing. As my daughter is now WFH/restricted travel while undergoing chemo, she’s reading a lot more. I’m able to share my library with her, both purchased & checked out books.
You know the saying “You never know what someone is going through”… That’s me. I post about my cats, my fav NBA team, events I go to, yummy food. But October has been a beast of different proportions this year.
I work at VMware, so #IYKYK
And then… earlier this month my amazing 25-year old daughter was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer (the irony of awareness month 🤦♀️) and has already undergone IVF to preserve fertility as well as first round of chemo. She’s in the fight for her life.
So I’m stressed. On edge. Angry. Worried. Sad. Pissed at the world.
And trying to help her. And work. And keep some kind of normal even though I’m sure that’s gone for a long time.
It’s her story and she just started telling it publicly, so I’ll follow her lead.
But my ask? Just slow down. Be kind. Let your people know you care.
Oh yeah, #FuckCancer
Accidental CISOSomething I see with small IT/Security shops: If you don't institutionalize your Information Security Program, you will reach a point where simply maintaining the program consumes all of your effort and you can no longer improve the program.
By institutionalize, I mean, making sure that appropriate stakeholders throughout the organization actually take ownership of their parts of the program.
Process owners, control owners, policy owners, tool owners, etc...
It's easy, especially in small shops, for an IT or security manager/director to build a program that they are stuck maintaining singlehandedly.
