And there it is, a rule many in the defense industry thought would never happen has now been published as a proposed rule. https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3626384/cybersecurity-maturity-model-certification-program-proposed-rule-published/

It is really confusing to me anytime I see Google Bard because it is a common typo of my name and my brain instantly corrects it to Brad.

Just in time for Christmas, Elon Musk has delivered a very Merry X Mess to Linda Yaccarino the CEO of X.

It was headshot day at work and well, I called in a few favors.

CaptCooey says “CUI is so obvious”

Yes, that is me in costume.

I remember watching this live on Tech TV. The day Kevin Mitnick was able to get back on a computer after years of probation. RIP Kevin. Pancreatic Cancer Sucks. https://youtu.be/heiHrcFlqu4

@jerry Truth. I also knew the joke was actually a good dad joke when daughter rolled her eyes and walked away.

Last night as my wife and I were putting leftover beans away in plastic bags, I took one of the bag of beans and placed it on a kitchen chair.

I then yelled for the kids to come check out our new bean bag chair.

I think I figured out why Microsoft renames products and services non stop. It prevents historical searches of vulnerabilities, breaches, or outages.

Can’t fix it? Rename it!

Elon is a child.

If you email Twitter PR, it auto replies with a poop emoji.

Don’t believe me? Try it.

@tsudo I just made my second trip.

Crazy to think I’ve been on Twitter for 16 years. Couple of things that did not exist early on that the community created and Twitter and other platforms adopted:

- Referring to the messages as tweets
- @ replies
- # hashtags
- Retweets (used to copy the tweet and at RT followed by the username and tweet)
-Twitter Apps (SMS and web only)
-280 Character tweets (140 was limit due to SMS)
- Direct photo upload (Remember Twitpic?)
- Built in URL shorteners
- Pull to refresh for apps

A little forgotten fact, pull to refresh used across most apps was first introduced in a Twitter app named Tweetie. Tweetie was eventually purchased by Twitter and became the official Twitter app.

Twitter has been the sandbox for trying new social network ideas since its inception but the recent developments devalue the years of progress.

Sad to see Twitter go down in flames almost precisely 16 years to the date I joined. I joined Twitter on July 4th, 2007 and it this app feels a lot like the early days. It’ll be awkward for a bit but will grow organically and develop strong communities over time.
