Uh-oh... Someone just ordered brand-new stickers for DefCon. Hoping they arrive in time, 'cause I think they're phreaking awesome. 🟥
Was feeling nostalgic. Had someone searched my backpack in '95 or '96, they probably would have found one of these. (1700 Hz + 2200 Hz = 🪙)

#CiscoLive QoS/DSCP lesson of the day: Made it from Pasadena to San Diego in 2 hours and 5 mins.
The takeaway being, "Best Effort" does not necessarily equal "slow". ⚡

Just pulled out my guitar amp from circa ~'96, and it had this bumper sticker on the side.
Anyone in LA remember Y-107 FM??? Pioneered the Jack-FM model of rock with no DJs. Used to be based out of Pasadena.
(Amp is a Fender Princeton 112 Plus)

Shaved my beard so I'd get a better seal while wearing a respirator, and discovered I have no chin.

Just over a week ago, my dog helped Pasadena Engine 39 respond to a small (and quickly extinguished) brush fire. Just an hour later, the Eaton Fire would break out, and the entire Pasadena FD would respond. 7.5 days later, we're still fighting it and starting recovery.
