Somewhat hilariously (to me anyways), Coldwater Ontario has a lot of really crappy cell service :) Turns out that magical communications tech is magical and needs a whole lot of sciencing!

Anyone have a connection with LinkedIn incident response? Could use a pointer if you’ve got one!

Can you even believe it was 13 years ago? Dave Marcus, Bruce Potter, and little ole me.

Damn.

It was a different world for sure.

From now on TFG means “that felon guy.”

Few things weirder than the twisted duality of Shmoocon Lobbycon. Either people have gotten older and remembering their names takes work or people are so young you realize that you predate not just their career but also their lifespan. #oldhackersneverdie

I don’t know how to rewrite that to make the content moderation system not block it. And so I’m not going to.

Commentary from a family member on my calendar: “Are you trying to kill yourself with that psychotic next weekend of travel?”

Well… not intentionally, but I will be at Shmoocon Lobbycon for a bit less than 24h from Friday to Saturday before heading to work in Helsinki. 😎

And I died of dysentery So. Many. Times.

Maybe, just maybe there’s a secret cache of tickets for people who got a shmooball to the head while onstage during the closing plenary one year? Or witnesses to the great Snowpocalypse?

And I lost the fight.

Sold out Shmoocon, but I do have a room in the Hilton so I’ll be at Lobby Con.

Damn.

I’ve come to the conclusion that no airline is interested in serving customers. Air Canada is perennially disappointing, Delta has climbed my shortlist today, Westjet is miserable, my last Porter experience was awful. So far, United is mediocre. KLM/AF is good but don’t fly everywhere.

Unpopular opinion: the status information I need from my airline app is not “ready to board” but rather “% of plane pre boarding” so I can adjust my expectations.

I love being referred to as “old timey” — explains why my right knee is suddenly the ACTION NEWS WEATHER CENTER 24 HOUR FORECAST DIGITAL SYSTEM RADAR CENTER.

Sitting in an airport lounge.

How many people are not using headphones?

More than zero?

Yes.

STRAIGHT TO JAIL.

When the punctuation to the story is “… and THeN!!!”

If you are in cybersecurity repost this so we can all follow each other 😬

Listen to someone who has actually experienced the nightmare. This is what is coming again.

PS @georgetakei.bsky.social - thank you Sir for being yourself and inspiring for my entire life

a tiny brown and tan puppy with a yellow collar is laying with his paws tucked in on a green blanket. he is in a crate & looks at you deeply with his nose between the bars.

This is Meatball. He's going home for the very first time. So excited to have a human of his own. Thinking about what he's going to call you. Maybe Bob. 12/10

_Fashionably_ late.

Also, brought receipts. Hashtag was empty.

(And I’ve had this account for a while, I’m just finally scheduling “being social” because I suck at it.

Meme with side by side pictures of Marco Rubio and RFK, Jr, labeled “Marco” and “Polio.”

Who made this? Ahahaha

Pulled this one out of my butt today one a call-

"There is a real tight correlation between entropy and friction in technology"

We are starting from nothing here.

Alright - let’s pretend that it’s the past… maybe 2012 or so. Any #sectwits in the house?

Can we recapture that magic and share some fun stories and lessons learned?

Much like I prefer my 100 year old house to a new build, I’ll take a 737 that’s old enough to drink over one fresh off the line 🤣

Yes. Yes it is. We were definitely on the spare spare plane.

Scooting along the 101, thinking about all the places I’ve worked in the Bay Area over the decades. First trip was over 20 years ago and I was such a kid it was mostly a pilgrimage with some Itanium jammed around the edges.

Welcome to the future you didn’t know you were going to have Mr. Arlen.

My plane is so old…
How old is it?
This old.

Still processing. I miss social interaction and the combo of Facebook and LinkedIn just isn’t doing it for me.

They are old. We are all old.
