Last week was one of those crazy travel ones. I headed to NYC for some client work, and since my wife had never done the tourist route there she came along and I took some time off to show her around. I’m not from NYC, but I’m from the part of Jersey that likes to think we are (technically, I lived closer to Manhattan than some of the other boroughs). After a few days in the city we headed down to Richmond, VA to catch up with my family.
No, not some discussion on something controversial like global warming. Just the FDA approving use of a potent antibiotic in cattle against warnings by the AMA and other medical and scientific studies. You know, one of those drugs that the nasty bugs are becoming resistant to.
I’m really hurting today. And it’s not a hangover.
As I think I’ve mentioned before I’m back into martial arts after a 2 year gap (the result of moving across state lines and getting married). It’s pretty amazing how much you can forget when you take a 2 year break from anything.
I was catching up on some old TiVo and saw an ADT commercial that really tweaked me. You know the one, it has a woman alone in the kitchen when the bad guy smashes the window to pop the door and do all sorts of nastiness. Her alarm starts blaring, scares off the bad guy, and it’s ADT to the rescue.
Six months ago fellow blogger (and recent friend) Martin McKeay posted that he wanted to be a “Security Evangelist”.
Back in May 1997 I was running security for the annual “Kinetic Sculpture Challenge” in Boulder; a big costume party/concert/race/BBQ/festival/rite of spring sponsored by the local radio station. It’s about a 30,000 person event and I ran a staff of about 90 paid and volunteers. It was one of the more enjoyable events to work every year (the year I was working out East as a paramedic I even flew back just for that weekend).
I almost used the title, “we can’t afford religion”, but figured that might hit Digg a little too fast and piss a lot of people off.
Sorry folks, this has nothing to do with bank fraud or anything like that.

(Yes, as promised I’m still blogging, just not on the technology or information security industries).
Look I understand too little too late I realize there are things you say and do You can never take back But what would you be if you didn’t even try You have to try So after a lot of thought I’d like to reconsider Please If it’s not too late Make it a cheeseburger
I love Mythbusters; and before every show there’s the obligatory warning, “Don’t try this at home. We’re what you call professionals”. Which is really disappointing since I now have no idea what to do with the 500 lbs of explosives, the crash test dummy, and the balistics gel sitting in my garage.
