TFW you've just returned from Def Con, you're wearing this t-shirt, and the guy at Best Buy is explaining to you what "ram" and "storage" are.

I'll be the most popular guy at DefCon...

Long drive from LA but I have finally arrived for my first hacker summer camp!

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 = 🪙)

Great hanging out with you!

OK, I am officially announcing my great #CiscoLive giveaway contest! The first person find me and say "fiber optic conduit bender" will receive this yellow Leviton EXTREME™ Cat 6 QUICKPORT™ Jack that I've had in my backpack for the last 6 months!!

#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". ⚡
I have arrived!

To understand the Cisco, you must become the Cisco.

It's like an amuse bouche before Cisco Live.

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)

I fixed my dryer today. All by myself. Who wants to touch me?

Shaved my beard so I'd get a better seal while wearing a respirator, and discovered I have no chin.
Could of sworn I had one 10 years ago... 🤔

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.

Developing my new Python script to investigate URL blocks at my company - API calls to FMC, Umbrella Investigate, Umbrella Policies, and an unnamed SIEM.
Apparently, no one at my entire company has been shopping for a Toyota in the last three days.
