At the Chicago Google offices for a meetup with Chicago Owasp and pretty much every other Chicago security meetup.

It is really handy to be able to switch mobile networks at the press of a button when the signal meters look like this.

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.

Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam,Soundgarden or Alice In Chains. (As if!)

It's been almost 20 years since this was the view from my office (and my office itself in the 2nd pic). As winter sets in, this is one of the few things I miss about flying.

Not the best angle but this is probably the most people I’ve ever seen downtown. #NoKings #Chicago

I think I'm finally feeling well enough to leave the house for a while today which means we'll be going to the #NoKings protest downtown. Looking forward to seeing #Chicago turning out.

I'm pretty sure this has been me for about 12 years now.

Today’s post is a reflection on a couple of big anniversaries for me, both personally and professionally.

I'm working from my SIL's house today and the St. Bernard is NOT having it. He demands homage and treats and tolerates no other activities.

Your digital privacy is not a one-time task. A new phone or operating system is a great time to check and update your privacy settings.

I found an answer to my home WiFi issues that not only worked, but actually really impressed me with how well it worked. It’s been a long time since tech did that.

Thankfully no lecture considering the suburb we’re in. This ridiculous monster is enjoying our company though.

We'll be watching a St Bernard for a few days while his owner travels. My poor kitty has no idea how her weekend is about to change.

Last night I did something I don’t normally do; I installed Apple’s Beta Operating Systems. Here’s my first impressions of this year’s changes.

I’m working from home again. While I’m grateful for it there are a few challenges I didn’t expect.

If you're like me and use Apple's iCloud Private Relay in the US Central Time Zone you may find yourself unable to access Bluesky. Here's how to fix that.

Just setting ""chat.commandCenter.enabled": false," no longer turns off all of CoPilot in VSCode anymore. Here's an update on how to disable it today.

It's been a week since I moved my site back to a proper CMS and it was absolutely the right decision.

I went from barely being able to publish on any device to having 3 I can choose from. I'm not sure if I love this or hate it.

In October I'm going to be back on stage again at ProdCon Chicago talking about platform, devsecops and cloud in a panel. I can't wait. The conference is put on by nVisia and they're an org I've really grown to appreciate here so it will be a great show. www.nvisia.com/prodcon-chi-...

I'm writing from my Linux machine again and it's amazing.
