Celebrating four decades of not being able to spell “rhythm” without spellcheck.

Kids these days will never know the hardships of each week having to overcook a fresh hardboiled egg yolk for the computer mouse

most difficult thing to learn in infosec is focus on one thing (including resisting unplanned/unexpected things you encounter while working on that one thing) :D

The last part of my daily commute takes me thru Brandenburg Gate. Every time it feels like a privilege. When I was a kid diplomat, there was a wall right here dividing #Berlin My daily reminder that #change for the good is possible, and surprises, too.

Karoline Preisler contracted a severe case of #COVID19 and had to be hospitalized. She visits demonstrations held by #coronavirus deniers, aiming to peacefully confront those who trivialize the virus.
