Automotive cybersecurity person. Semi-pro reverse engineer. BJJ brown belt.
And an Adam Sandler novelty track!

There was a time when 10 year old boys would huddle around a portable CD player, laughing hysterically at a man making fart noises on his guitar. Couldn’t play it too loud because Brendan’s mom might hear a swear word and confiscate the CD.

A magical time.

Well, sheeit. I guess I'm behind the ball.

I'll come to you for advice when I decide that I've outgrown my Baofengs and Quanshengs, or when I finally decide to try my hand at CW.

Working with process control systems is like this.

“Our equipment is managed by this server that only runs on Windows 98 because the company went out of business 30 years ago and never updated it. We’ve…isolated it the best we can.”

I remember being SO PSYCHED for our new computer that had a Pentium II processor *with MMX extensions* and a 2G hard disk.

And it came with Windows ME installed. Millennium Edition. We were living IN THE FUTURE.

“Those who DO study history are also doomed to repeat it, but it’s still a good read.” — My high school history teacher.

I am staunchly anti death penalty.

I think that if you ARE going to have a death penalty, it should be done by something like firing squad. Unlike lethal injection, it’s humane and the tech is hard to mess up.

And it forces us to confront the brutality of sentencing someone to death.

Hopefully this kicks the Passive Status Quo Liberals into some kind of action. Some kind of meaningful resistance.
