When the cats away, at RSA… *evil smile*
Good morning, sunshine!
I’m going to dust off the template and see if I can breathe some life back into my news gathering habits. I miss the routine and I miss the feedback.
Also, I was thinking about doing an article about Security or IT podcasts that our readers might find useful. I have a handful that I listen to, but would like more. If you host one and would like to email me with the name, url and a short paragraph about what you’re up to, please do so to: infosecintern@gmail.com. If you’re a big fan of one in particular, please leave that in the comments. I appreciate it.
See you again soon,

Good Friday morning!
Hopefully today is a light work day, if you’re there at all. And if you are at your desk, maybe you can sneak in some shopping bargains at lunchtime. Have a great weekend folks.

Good day!
I hope this finds everyone in the thick of challenging projects and interesting conversations. I’ve missed the hallowed halls and thought today I’d make a brief reappearance. School is what is. Sometimes very interesting, sometimes very boring, mostly a whole lot of work. Mid-terms are around the corner, maybe I’ll see you again after that.
I was at SecTor last week, working and listening. If you were unable or didn’t get to see all the talks you wanted to, the presentations are now online.
Take good care!

School’s about to start again, I’m excited. I said it, I’m excited for school to start. That fact, in and of itself, is a small miracle on earth.
Have a great day!

Great day for a walk. In the middle of the crazy that is always Monday, slide your chair back, stretch and then venture out into the big blue room for a short, invigorating walk. Move your body, warm up your muscles, breathe deep. Slow down, take it in, smile at everyone you see. I double-dog dare you.
Have a fantastic day!
