This is a fun item on display at the CYBR.SEC.CON security conference. I also like that it's unplugged, which is a good reminder about the power we still have over machines.

New review for "The Haunting of Edward Drake" "This novel was such a fantastic read. A true page turner that kept me on my toes. I usually can tell which way a story is heading, and to say that I couldn’t do that with this book is delightful." www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-haunti...

New member of the family arrived this weekend! He's a rescue named Argos.

It was inspiring to be at Independence Mall in Philly with thousands of other protesters this past Saturday. Equality under the law was a radical idea 250 years ago. We haven't always lived up to this ideal, but it's a precious gift worth fighting for.
Protestors gathered on Independence Mall in Philadelphia to demand that the Trump administration follow the Constitution.

My novel "Wasteland Blues" is in LibGen, a pirated library of books and papers that Meta used to train AI models instead of licensing content. Curious if I'll get a royalty check, or maybe a coupon that lets me get one free pirating of Facebook code as an exchange?

Apologies for the craptasticness of this, but I'm old and bad at memes.
Two astronauts in space are looking at the Earth. One astronaut says "Wait, everything's computer?" The second astronaut, who is about to shoot the first astronaut, says "Always has been."

We must not allow a meme coin gap!

It's spooky season! If you're looking for a story that makes you want to turn on all the lights and check under the bed, I recently published a spooky novel. "The Haunting of Edward Drake" is on Amazon as an ebook or paperback, or as an ebook at B&N. www.amazon.com/Haunting-Edw...

I mis-typed "digital" as "degital" and immediately imagined Ren saying "It's deegital, Stimpy!" and that's how I'm going to pronounce it from now on.

I love that Bluesky is a place where someone with the handle "Professor Goose" can ask US Senator a legitimate question about data privacy and get a reasonable response. (I know it's probably Senator Wyden's staff, but it's still cool).
A Bluesky user asks Senator Ron Wyden why pharmacy records aren't protected under HIPPA and Senator Wyden responds.
