Used to do computer things, now an International Man of Leisure.

Gotta love being geo-locked out from paying my renters insurance.

The never ending struggles of an International Man of Leisure.
Clearly I should just not have a home and travel non stop.

With all the tattoo chit chat going on, anyone else remember the infosec person with that as a handle? Kinda yikes in hindsight.
Like up to 10 years ago, it's cool we were letting it slide back then...
I'm glad we (I a bunch ) have become better since then.

WTF is going on back home?

Halfway around the world. Still at a Blue Bottle. I think my temporary Tokyo neighbourhood may be too fancy.

Arrived in Osaka. Side quest unlocked. Sake + Blur Curaçao cocktail with a takoyaki garnish.

It's Saturday afternoon. I'm in a fancy Tokyo hotel's bar. I'm tired AF. I'm finally sold on the mezcal Negroni.

Also all the news seems to still be horrible, not a fan of that stuff.

Solid advice.
The camp you should go to is the one where I will tell you how to wear boots good though.
I guess I haven't clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025.

They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.

After being off work over a year I've learned one thing. Having "International Man of Leisure" as my LinkedIn role does not actually provide me with well matched appropriate gigs.

I'm here to remind you of the aesthetics we've lost.

AOL dial-up gets turned off permanently tonight at midnight. Our CFP is also closing down soon on October 1st, so it's a great time to use those free AOL internet hours to get those last minute submissions in while you still can.

An auspicious sign. "I got 5 on it" plays in my local Oatown coffee spot as I head to the airport.

Really looking forward to heading up to Canada for a reunion this weekend and having to try to explain *waves hands* all of this.
