Doc M has taken to the skies

Program for Whote Hat Gala 10th anniversary

Thanks infosec fam that showed up for the hospital last night!

Reminder: November 4th is extremely important, don’t forget to vote!

It’s probably troubling that at the history books & memories are going to be like “operation warp speed for Covid vaccines, cease fires that didn’t take - oh and during his presidency we couldn’t even see the White House, and all the pictures we took on our dc trip were of a construction zone.”

When you feel like screaming “you keep using that word! I do not think it means what you think it means!” At pressers and realize we’re not living in normal times.

I can’t believe we’re in a timeline where rather than the obvious “you and I remember Budapest very differently” we end up with “yo mama”. Seriously?

JOTA-JOTI 2025 | A World Shaped by Youth The Jamboree on the Air - Jamboree on the Internet is the world's largest digital Scout event. Join millions of young people online or over the airwaves! #JOTAJOTI

Scouts who might be online for jotajoti.info this weekend should let me know! Radio call sign W4J tomorrow and online tomorrow all day, would love to connect to other scouts globally. #Jotajoti25

Just a weekend reminder that all the “online safety” and “screen free” work in the world won’t help if we don’t do effective digital rights work, and blend it with disinformation education. We cannot tell young people phones are bad while schools share data and adults share Facebook disinfo as fact

I sort of want the front line to just be grannies sitting on the ground with flags knitting. I don’t even knit but would totally do that.

Going to be a week… jamboree on the internet this weekend and first round of cyberpatriot competition. My brain hurts.

I don’t know about everyone else, but since I was a kid I have always been on the side of the frogs.

When I see these elected officials that say things about how we can’t have discussions because one person was shot it makes me wonder if they understand that in fact this is what they are paid to do, and are publicly admitting they have not been doing their job…

Ah. This week is taking me back to that time I started a job and a few months in was sitting at a bar with the finance guy and said “so, I know I’ve only been here a little while, but is HR sleeping with the CEO?” And he said “yeah, i really think so!” Good times.

I went to Cybersecurity Summit yesterday and found out about cybercanon.org - love books, abhor videos- this is my new fave place

Some people go through life trying to make things better for others. Some people are the “I suffered this way, you should too.” We’re all works in progress but I try each day to be the first kind.

Bad hashtag etiquette… I meant #GartnerSEC apparently

Anyone I know here at #GartnerRisk?
