Understanding less than half of what is happening is a big help I find.

Me: In the 70’s lots of my high school friends were joining up but I simply refused to participate in any fashion.

Her: Vietnam?

Me: No, Disco.

Believe it or not, I'm not a political pundit! Dammit Jim, I'm a guitar teacher, not a commentator!

I give guitar lessons ONLINE during the pandemic (which is STILL HAPPENING...). $80 a month for 4 30 minute lessons regularly scheduled once a week via Facetime, Skype or Zoom.

I've been teaching #guitar full time for over ... 3 decades. Past students have become signed major label artists, toured the world, appeared on national mainstream network tv, etc. etc....

I"m a much better #guitarist and #teacher than I am online political cajoler. If one has a guitar laying in the corner, consider picking it up...

Me: I’m so happy

Universe: *cracks knuckles* we’ll see about that

I just saw a chicken toting a Chanel bag so I’m starting to question these egg prices

my body is NOT a temple. it is a STORAGE UNIT for my REGRETS

Telling my Twitter followers I'm heading over to Mastodon for a pack of cigarettes and I'll be right back and then deleting my account

Sincerely, really like how random my timeline is without the automated aspect. People are so much more odd and delightful than any tepid algorithm can make them. Grateful to be here for this reason alone

It's okay to say no.
It's okay to take time for yourself.
It's okay to join a group of like minded people.
It's okay to burn down the establishments that only benefit 1% of the population.
It's okay to share dinner with a possum.

Still reeling from the incredible news that Ancestry has donated 2,500--TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED -- DNA tests for Holocaust survivors and their children to the DNA Reunion Project at the Center for Jewish History.

A stunning act of generosity.

Paper straw

Our culture constantly pushes the lie that your value as a human being comes from what you do or produce or offer to others.

That's garbage.

You matter no matter what.

You are sacred just for being.

Shabbat Shalom.

I wanted to take a few moments and apologize to many of my former students.

In the past I said the industry needs people who look at security as a vocation and an avocation.

I was wrong.

Have a life outside of this industry.

Have hobbies that have nothing to do with your computer.

Get outside.

The problems of the industry are not problems of people not working hard enough.

They are not problems of people not being "hard core" enough.

They are problems of education and resource prioritization.

I was wrong.

I am sorry.

Stop breaking yourself on rocks for people who don't really care if you break yourself on rocks.

AI has won. It's too late for us. #AIart

Stressed? Got that Friday the 13th feeling?

Just watch this. It's video Valium.

#cat succeeding in making my wife quite angry. She told me "come make your cat behave!". Had to take a pic before inviting him down. Useless, because of course he climbed back up 10 minutes later anyway. #catpics #blackcats
