you know I’m not really the most active person in the world. These recent few weeks have really been getting me out of my comfort zone. I’m starting to go ahead and see those facts right now and a very nice and positive way.

I am looking forward to continuing this, even after this semester

Tucson’s rejection of Project Blue shows how local communities can influence tech infrastructure decisions.

It’s a live case study in balancing economic promise with environmental, ethical, and civic values.

While not caused by a cyberattack, incidents like this highlight the fragility of the digital systems we depend on.

So instead of having a carry around my ID every single day as long as I have my phone with me, I should be able to get into every single building. I need to. Let’s hope it works out the way I think it does.

The failed Lemon Sandstorm attack reveals the value of segmentation, persistent monitoring, and MFA.

We must teach students threat modeling across IT/OT boundaries, and real-world case studies like this one matter.

So Pakistan just lied about shooting down Indian Jets? All that does is rile people up. Grow up and put someone who will put the thoughts of your citizens first and not put them in more harms way.
The fog of war is thick tonight, and tensions are rising. I'm not pro or anti anything.

I’m just tired, tired of conflict, tired of fear.

This is a significant security flashpoint with global stakes, but I only want to stop worrying for once.

Peace for the civilians.

Tucson is at a crossroads as Amazon rolls out its Project Kuiper satellites, part of a global race to beam high-speed internet from space. Rural parts of Tucson still lack reliable internet. Amazon’s constellation could bridge that gap.
