What are signs of a mature security org? Especially looking for outcomes and metrics.

I'll be at #sfbsides most of today and for tomorrow morning. Come say "hi" — I've still got blue hair, just more heavily tattoo'd than I used to be.

What skill would you wish to impart from Old Internet to New Internet? My personal kingdom for the understanding of announce versus discuss.

Man, fuck having a nervous system that longs for stability but a brain that insists on “it’s quiet here… maybe TOO quiet…”

My little desk buddies Locke gave me.

Astronauts and Olympic athletes have to also talk about what comes after the big thing they’re training for. You are also that great, what we are doing is also that hard. Remember what comes after.

I dedicate 70% energy in the normal I want to live in, and 30% to getting to that normal if we’re not there yet. Your mix will be different. Be intentional.

I would refuse to work w Aspiration if you care about making change in social justice, & I'm willing to tell you why if you ask me. I have tried to talk with Gunner about this and he didn't take it on board the 1st time & hasn't been willing to meet a 2nd time. blog.bl00cyb.org/2026/01/sayi...
