Security research. And dad jokes. In no particular order.
Anyone who has been on the front lines of cyber security for long enough knows that there has been a hot war happening in cyber space between the five eyes and Russia, among others, for decades.

So for the secretary of defense to stand down offensive US cyber operations screams of bad intent.

I'm pretty sick of politics. And I avoid the discussion actively. But.

It really bothers me that trump has insulted the Canadians. These are our brothers and sisters. Our sons were in the trenches together. They are our long time friends and allies.

Come on man. Have you no sense of history?

I schedule my dentist appointments at a specific time of day.

Tooth hurty.

If breaches happen once or twice a year, why are analysts dealing with 1000 alerts per day?

A hot dog is in the same equivalence class as a taco.

A pop tart is a calzone.

Quesadillas are very close cousins of grilled cheese sandwiches.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I'm from New Mexico, and we make quesadillas. Then, in my 50s, I asked my wife to make me a grilled cheese.

She said "do it yourself", as is her right.

"I don't know how", I whined.

She said "pretend it's a quesadilla, but use bread instead of tortillas".

Mind blown

At the end of my life, I hope I will have achieved maximal humility in the face of the vast variety of life.

As a security data scientist having worked for and with SIEMS for many years, I can confidently say that no SIEM on the market today enables proper customer security data science. If we believe that AI/ML is the future for security, an alternative must be created to support these workloads.

Busted our asses delivering a POC to our design partner. Really nervous, we were testing several hypotheses for product development. We delivered it today, and the customer dug it! That was more fulfilling than my entire 3.5 years at an unnamed big tech company.
