My last work day before Def Con. I’m getting so excited and a little anxious! I’m going to see a lot, learn a lot, maybe teach some, and reunite with some of my favorite people in the world.

My friends and I are getting ready for the EFF Tech Trivia contest at DEF CON. We took a year off after winning in 2022. Now we’re returning to reclaim our bragging rights.

Nope.
Mleh.
Keeva became ill in the last week. I took her to the vet expecting she’d need some medicine and TLC. Instead we got some very bad news.

I’ve modified my Python program that sends new drafts from my Freewrite Alpha to my blog. Now it can also send them to my journal app, depending on what I type at the end of the message.

Another large American company is on the edge of bankruptcy. I feel bad for their senior management, too, who must be devastated at their utter failure to lead it to success.
Either that, or they’re psychopaths who are crushing their workers to make an extra buck. I choose to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re just bad at business.
