Got this in the mail today. It's addressed to my dad, who died 18 years ago and never lived at my current address. I don't know what the "Young Scholars National Honor Society" is, but I imagine it's a scam. This is really messed up.

Is it just me, or do morning newsletters keep getting longer and longer? I can't seem to get thru any of them in Gmail anymore without the message getting clipped. It's driving me insane. Brevity in the morning is a good thing.

You may be asking, how can all these great people be speaking at Common Good Cyber? It's because resourcing the people who protect the Common Good on the Internet is a big problem, one people like Megan Stifel want to solve. Register for the workshop here commongoodcyber.org/events/

This is not the news I wanted to wake up to this a.m. and I can't believe the WaPo did something so stupid as to drop a newsletter so many in the cyber community cared about. 😡
