    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

Notice a difference?

The very first blog sort of thing I did was titled, “Perspectives.”  I’ve moved physically, mentally and emotionally since then.  I’ve gone through a divorce, had several job transitions, adapted new and healthier perspectives.  I’ve also written quite a bit of stuff both in this current blog and the old one. Sometimes we need a [...]

It is what it is.

A vision to see ahead Not limited by short sighted musings Not tempted by punks that try to drag me down Lifted up by the clarity of the vision We’re not comfortable all the time. That’s ok. It is what it is. And, we can’t do it all on our own. I can’t do it [...]

The world looks different when not filtered through a geek’s eyes.

What I said.

relationships, love, loss, regret, passion, etc.

What?  “Etc.”  How does that fit in? Well, I’ve been prodded on to write a little here this evening.  It’s mostly because my friend Rita mentioned that she’d visited my blog three times now and found nothing new and nothing juicy enough.  She said she wasn’t going to come back if there wasn’t anything else.  She [...]

too much junk, and the good stuff takes time

Just got caught up on my blog reading.  There’s a lot of junk out there.  When left alone for a while, the blogs I usually read seam to become less valuable and less insightful.  It’s another perspective.  I think it’s healthier.  But, I also think there’s a bit of a superficial realm to dwell in [...]

I’m a little behind in my blog reading and still taking a break from writing.

Holidays – Family in Town – Slammed at Work – Etc. “I’ll be back!”

How to “Aspire to be a geek?”

I’m still on a  bit of a break from writing.  I’m missing it and thinking that I actually want to do more, and more in depth.  I’m not worried about that never happening, because I have a relatively decent track record of writing stuff down (like what I’m doing right now) and then remembering it [...]

moderate silence

Thursday morning, 11/17/05… I haven’t been writing very much over the past week or so.  I have had my folks visiting from out of town for the past week.  And my sister is coming to visit for a week, starting tomorrow.  That’s mostly just an excuse. I’ve also been in a mixed mood recently and haven’t [...]

Nothing “silly” about Veterans Day

No, there is nothing silly about Veterans Day. Thank you veterans for protecting me.  Freedom is not free, and I do not take it for granted. The silly comes in here: Schneier on Security: Military Uses for Silly String.  It too has saved lives!

InfoWorld: A constant state of insecurity

InfoWorld: A constant state of insecurity Found via: Schneier on Security: Sniffing Passwords is Easy Once again, security is mostly a user issue.  We’re so dang stubborn, forgetful, arrogant, etc.  Vigilance is needed.
