Dad of three incredible girls, I’m a silicon security architect at Meta, ex-Intel. In my free time, I enjoy kitesurfing and photography, capturing the breathtaking scenery of the Pacific Northwest.

Admittedly, my timing is terrible, but I think we should have an Exchange Student program for adults. Get connected with someone who does more or less the same job as you and trade countries, homes, and lives for a semester. You connect with the friends and family of the other people, and vice versa.

Maybe when they rebuild the world after WWIII, they can work that in someplace.

Swiping the Smallweb from mobile is even better than most “social media experience” we can get in 2026, its interesting, its different, each blog has its own vibe, it has this StumbleUpon randomness feeling from back in the days, its refreshing !

The Supreme Court is finding out that bullies are never satisfied. Crying about how Trump is mean to you after ignoring your responsibilities as the checks and balances of this great nation warrants zero sympathy.
The EU Inc proposal looks good, ofcourse there are always difficult "details" but good to move ahead with strengthening our european economy and make it easier for entrepeneurs.

Imagine that Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump never came to power. We could all be living in relative peace and prosperity right now. This is all a manufactured problem based on the delusional actions of psychopaths. None of this was necessary.

I can't stress enough how much I agree with this:

"If you’re a hair salon, or a tattoo artist, or a restaurant, or whatever, please just have a fucking website where I can go and see your rates and hours. Not all of your potential clients are on these [social media] platforms, and I suspect that even many of the ones who are appreciate a simple, unadorned site that tells them what they need to know at a glance."

The emerging alliance between Canada and the Nordic countries is the best thing which has happened in international politics in years.

Ethics, kindness, and honesty all the way. ♥️

Again, Molly White (@molly0xfff) is doing by far the best journalism about the massively corrupt cryptocurrency "industry" and how it's a threat to everyone's financial health. Her latest newsletter highlights ways the sleaze includes top politicians, especially (of course) Trump.
