It has been a long dry spell of no blog posts on the old blog. How the internet has changed since 2018. Maybe I will dusty off my morning coffee-writing ritual and write about whatever I feel like it. It did feel a bit constraining to turn this blog into my professional expression.
I've done a lot in cybersecurity the past 5 years. Written some books. Writing some more. Done some good work. Worked with some nice (and not so nice) people. You know, the older I get, the more I want to work with nice people, who are self-aware. I know it's a hard ask. Most everyone is figuring out how to get all the things they want in life - and many have no qualms about stepping on whomever they need to to get those things.
To make money with integrity and ethics is just adding another level of difficulty to surviving - because it seems near impossible to make a living in a way that doesn't impoverish others. So what to do? I tried the hermit life for a few years, but you know what, the "real world" with all its very human problems was exactly the same when I re-visited it.
Anyway, where do I go from here? The net is vast and infinite.
