I accidentally became the CISO. I didn't want this job, but the job chose me. I'm scared, and I want to go home.

If you need to integrate secure coding practices into your Software Development Lifecycle, my friend @shehackspurple just released a great free Secure Coding Guideline document to help get you started. 🎉👇

Ok, here we go... A glimpse of my daughter's 5th grade homework. 🤣
A screenshot of the homework. It reads: Martin Luther is one of the most goated guys ever. ML (Martin Luther) saw that the church was technically stealing the people's money. M.L was a monk when he realized this. He noticed that the bible said nothing about paying the church, and he got frustrated. He told the church about this issue, and the church tried to silence him but failed. He was livid, knowing that the church wouldn't do anything about it. Frustrated, he wrote his ninety-five theses. The ninety-five theses basically had him ranting about how wrong the church teachings were. Luckily the printing press was a thing, because he slapped that thesis on and copied it. He had done it. More and more people were questioning the church and joining M.L's side.

According to #PodMatch I'm The Balanced Broadcaster and a "Certified Awesome Podcaster" with @mindfulsmbshow.com, in case you were wondering. 😎

Love it! Got mine fired up, too. It’s our primary heat, though, so it’s fired up most of the winter.

I asked Grok to create a portrait of me based solely on my tweets.

Ok, can someone explain what is up with these plastic children's silverware? I... Uh...
I don't know how to explain it other than it looks like this spoon has testicles.

A cozy fire and a movie. I'm finally ready for the holidays.

A man smile from behind the bar. On the bar sits a small drink mixing machine, about the size of a Keurig coffee maker. It has a touchscreen display that allows the user to call up one of several choices of cocktails. In the foreground, a hand holds a drink, made by the machine.

There are only 8 days left to preorder FLOAT!! They're less than $1000 away from the goal. Please consider pre-ordering a copy to gift or donate! Will you be the one to push them over and make the book a reality?

Rosie, the main character of FLOAT has jumped into the water, her eyes fixed on a bright yellow trophy that she is trying to retrieve. The view is from under water, below her. Bubbles surround her and her red hair trails behind. She has lost one of her bright red tennis shoes and the toe of her green sock is trailing in the water. Text reads "Only 8 days left, and so close to the goal! Preorder today!"

There are only 15 days left of the pre-sale campaign for FLOAT!! The project is 70% funded, but they still have a way to go to make the book a reality. Please consider pre-ordering a copy for a child in your life or to donate to your local library.

An example of the illustrations from the picture book FLOAT by Lary Daley. There is a pencil sketch of an illustration concept, as well as a full color rendering of an interior two-page spread as well as the book's cover. The two-page spread shows the main character, Rosie, plunging into the water with a view from below. She is yelling "NOOOOOOO!" as she splashes down. Dozens of brightly colored tropical fish scatter in all directions.

FLOAT is 33% of the way to meeting the pre-order goal that will allow the book to proceed through production and printing!! You can help make this beautiful children's picture book from a new author and an independent publisher a reality! 1/3
The image shows many of the items included in the book bundles for FLAOT for backers of the Kickstarter. Every bundle includes at least one copy of the hardcover full color children's book. Others include bookmarks, sticker sheets, activity page downloads, a hand-made crochet sea turtle, an art print signed by the author, a virtual author visit for the school of your choice, and even the opportunity to have yourself or your child drawn in the book as a background character!

Thank you to everyone that has supported the Kickstarter for FLOAT already! It's off to a great start and has even been selected as a "project we love" by Kickstarter. 😍

A flier for an early bird special for the new Children's book FLOAT by Larry Daley. The flier shows the cover of the book, as well as the FLOAT themed bookmarks, stickers, and activity sheets. It states that for the first 5 days of the kickstarter, there is a special pre-order sale price when you order two copies instead of one.

OK, which one of you backed the project with an odd amount to do this? 🤣
A screenshot of the FLOAT kickstarter page. Backers have pledged $1337 so far. (1337 is hacker speak for someone who is elite).

This isn’t just a children’s picture book. It is the start of a revolution that challenges the status quo in the publishing industry. It proves that there are better ways of publishing.

Look, I got out of bed this morning.
Never let somebody else's achievements overshadow your own.
