I’ve been lucky enough to have a decently lengthy and very cool career in security. But also there have been many days working in security that make me want to walk directly into the sea.

If you’re wondering how I’m doing, a work doc tool just had to update my attempted use of the word “consulting” from “conslutting”.

Any time I read an article with leaks from spyware vendors, especially containing images from their presentation materials their software UI, I’m astounded at terrible quality of the graphics | UX. Then I remember every UI/UX pro I know is a wonderful human being and would never do this garbage.

The pants I am wearing today are cute (subjectively), comfy (objectively), but so noisy. I don’t think I can wear them to the office again. I feel the need to compulsively apologize for being disruptive, as I sound like a sailboat cruising aggressively in blustery conditions just walking about.

Two things I’ve never noticed on previous trips to Vancouver. 1. Some of the freeways have bike lanes, such as the road to the airport. 2. There are tampons and pads sitting out in the restrooms available for free. Two ways America would sadly never.

I’ve been in Vancouver (Canada) since Thursday. This somewhat randomly timed trip could actually not have been better timed. On top of my general long-time love for this city, I am especially daunted leaving tonight and returning to the U.S. and well, everything else.

A longer version of the Tufts announcement about the abduction of an international graduate student by federal authorities, circulating on Twitter and Reddit.

March 25, 2025
Dear members of the Tufts community,
We have received reports that an international graduate student was taken into custody this evening by federal authorities outside an off-campus apartment building in Somerville. The university had no pre-knowledge of this incident and did not share any information with federal authorities prior to the event, and the location where this took place is not afiliated with Tufts University.
From what we have been told subsequently, the student's visa has been terminated, and we seck to confirm whether that information is true. The university has no additional information at this time about the cause or circumstances of the student's apprehension and is attempting to leam more about the incident. Following university protocol, the Office of University Counsel will assist in connecting the student to external legal resources should the individual request our assistance.
We realize that tonight's news will be distressing to some members of our community, particularly the members of our international community. We will continue to provide information, support, and resources in the days ahead as more details become available to us. While we await further information, we want to remind the members of our community that the university has an established protocol for responding to goverment agents who arrive on campus (or off-campus), for an unannounced site visit. To activate that protocol, it is best to call the Tufts University Police Department at 617-627-3030 and inform the dispatcher, who will notify the appropriate university
Available support resources
If you are feeling in need of support, we encourage you to connect and spend time with your friends, your classmates, and your loved ones, whether at or outside of Tufts.
On campus, there are multiple points of support for students that can respond to individual and group needs. Here's how to get started:
• The International Center is available to provide additional stud…

I need a shock color that’s the opposite of an electric fence. It’s you’re still inside a certain range (like your work office building for example) at a specific time, it starts shocking you with tiny shocks that increase with intensity every five minutes. Does this exist?

Exceptionally proud of the game of flight chicken I played today. After three weather delays for my flight from 3:30 to 4:49, to 5:20, to 5:35, I decided to leave our office for Sea-Tac at 4:00, a 48-minute commute (due to heavy traffic). Got here and through security two minutes before boarding. 😅

Another morning of looking at my feed, heaving out the deep sigh of anxiety and dread. Except this time, from somewhere deep in my subconscious (because I have no idea where this came from), I muttered to myself, “I just want to swim in the ocean.” And I’m really not quite sure what I meant by that.

For some reason I thought the NSA would be slightly buffered, but I have heard that sweeping anti-DEI mandates have already been issued, such as forcing removal of pronouns from signature blocks. People are being told that should report violations of these new mandates by their colleagues to the IG
