Yesterday's Cyber Innovation Day in Washington DC was a first-class event hosted by Datatribe.
I moderated a panel with my N2K Cyberwire colleague Maria Varmazis @maria and Daniel Whitenack from Practical AI. We'll have that session on an upcoming CyberWire Special edition.

And love - real love - is quietly resisting the urge to mention that […]

While interviewing a remote guest I noticed he had a model of a Klingon Bird of Prey hanging from his office ceiling.
So naturally, I found a way to work a Kobayashi Maru reference into our conversation, much to his delight.
