Teaching was my first love. Packets were my second.

I make classes to teach people how to defend themselves against hackers. In my spare time, I teach college students to compete in cybersecurity competitions, or try to take back my home automation from the cloud.

"If you don't start using AI you're going to be left behind."

Nope, we're going to leave your ass behind. We'll keep automating with testable, repeatable, infrastructure-as-code. Our repos will be well documented by engineers, well organized, and easy to understand. We'll keep honing our skills while you generate copious slop. Oh, and take your poorly veiled threat and and shove it way back up your ass where it belongs. </rant>

My daughter just asked me "Why would they call it 'sweet n low' and use a treble clef instead of bass?"

Decades. I've ignored this glaring #marketing fail for decades.

Someone's kindness made me cry today.

My son's been attending a kids sewing class at a local fabric store.

The owner saw how much he loves it, and had offered to sell us a machine at a discount for him to use at home, but it was still out of reach for us financially. I told her we'd save up for it for Christmas.

Today she gave us that sewing machine free. She said she wanted him to be able to continue to sew at home.

Enabling his passion is such a priceless gift and I'm incredibly thankful.

I email random strangers who are in positions of power with my unfiltered thoughts on their ability to bring change to those who aren't in that position. Occasionally it works and brings institutional change. If you have strong feelings you should try it.
This is exactly what the internet is for.

Dear liberals (if any of you are reading), please for the sake of us all, we need you to get over your fear of "criminals" as a class of person.

We need you to trust that we can build a better society that deals with violence, when it occurs, differently. For that matter, we already know that "crime" decreases when poverty decreases, so our "crime" problem is primarily a poverty problem!
