It was a huge honor to be recognized by the Mayor of Las Vegas at the WGU mixer for my dedication and hard work with the WGU Cyber Club! I'm blown away and very thankful for this recognition.

Your next hard decision at #PancakesCon is whether to watch "Career Planning in an Era of Layoffs and Storygames" or "Hacking the OSCP & the Practice of Zen Meditation" (or joining Hardware village, or Lockpick Village, or the CTF programs, or getting your resume reviewed, or doing a TimTam Slam,)

I myself am restricted by HOA rules that would keep me from installing anything here. I'll try to hurry up on my ham radio exam so I can sign on to this letter, but if you're a ham, consider signing.

I just learned about this campaign, Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act that would grant Amateur Radio Operators the same rights to install antennas on their property as those enjoyed by users of TV antennas, wireless internet, and flagpoles.
