Back to the daily grind. It will be an interesting week and less than easy to get my head wrapped around non-conference mode. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Back from RSA and I’m finally feeling human. Nothing sucks worse than trying to travel across country on a plane with sinus issues. Great time at RSA, albeit brief.

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,
