I accidentally became the CISO. I didn't want this job, but the job chose me. I'm scared, and I want to go home. https://www.accidentalciso.net

If you were going to pay for a subscription to one of the big LLM platforms, which would it be? Why is that the right one for you?

ChatGPT? Claude? Copilot? Gemini?

OK, a quick thread because I love having friends that do amazing things! My friend Orlando just released his book, The Seven Thunders: Rise of the Twinkling Heir, and I'm unbelievably excited for him.

That sounds like a fun game. Whoever finds you and brings you back is the winner, and you get to take a break until someone finds you.

I can't wait to see this book be successful and watch where it takes him.

If you are at all interested in buying a copy, I urge you to stop by your favorite local bookstore and ask them to order a copy for you so that they get to see it when it arrives. Suggest it to your local library, too.

The book is available through major resellers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble but getting new books in front of independent booksellers and libraries across the country is *really* hard for small indie publishers.

I know how much work he has put in, and how hard this is because my wife owns a boutique publishing company for children's picture books. The industry is brutal, and the old guard has rigged it with obstacles at every step of the way to make it nearly impossible for new players to gain traction.

What I think is most incredible is that he took power into his own hands and has controlled his entire publishing journey himself. He started a publishing company, hired a team, and made his dream come true on his own terms. 🔥🔥

He sent me a link to the official book trailer this morning and I was absolutely blown away. Seriously, go check it out. You will be, too.

It's his first book in a series of young adult fantasy novels about The Seven Thunders. Don't be fooled, anyone that is young at heart can enjoy it. If you're a bit of a nerd, and have nerdy kids, your family is going to absolutely love this book!!

Too much to fit in anything less than a lengthy thread. A few highlights: I found my place and my people in the infosec community, I realized I was neurodivergent and got help, I've made many amazing friends, and I've found consulting clients.

My middle-aged self can’t wait to watch Reading Rainbow again.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow. LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.
