The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us in ways that we didn’t foresee, and some of the most notably affected are teachers and parents. Teachers are more than necessary employees and are being forced to completely turn their lives upside down to continue education. With school and daycare closures, parents are not only juggling how to … Continue reading Parent-Teacher Conference: Staying Safe Online in COVID-19
Image above is from one of my lighting designs in college. Post Cambridge-Analytica scandal, Risk has been on the minds of a lot of people, security pros and non-techies alike. More vendors are touting their risk “capabilities” (especially around third-party) and the ones who actually do TPRM are even more bullish about it – and … Continue reading Read at your own RISK

The true meaning of this lovely film is of course the story about three phenomenal women who beat all the odds, and I would never intend to take away from that. This is simply another spin that I took … Continue reading What Hidden Figures Taught Me About AI
Did she *really* just make a techy Rocky Horror joke? Dammit, Janet – she sure did. I had the opportunity to attend Security Field Day (#XFD2 for you Twitter followers out there) a couple weeks ago and I have to admit, I was a little overwhelmed at first. I was feeling a bit….

Woohoo! Thanks for stopping by. Those of … Continue reading Cyber Security Awareness is Your Seatbelt
Batman has always been my favorite superhero. If the car isn't enough, his dark brooding persona solidifies it. I think I pretty much nailed it in 2011. Just look at those glasses. The coolest thing about him is that he was just a regular guy with a sick cape. He wasn't an alien, he wasn't … Continue reading Batman, Batman, Where Art Thou?
"Museum Visitors Damage 800-Year-Old Coffin by Putting Child in It for Photo" "Oops! A Gallery Selfie-Gone Wrong Causes $200.000 in Damage" "Whoops! When Museum Visitors Get Touchy-Feely With the Exhibits and Unleash Mayhem" Yes, these are real articles in the New York Times. Yes, these are real things that are happening out there.
