Join Me On Mastodon
Social media has always been a difficult subject. Even from myspace to livejournal. I joined Facebook back in 2004 and remember for awhile enjoying it. There was a period when you needed a work network or university address to join, and it was full of people discussing their projects and goals. But then something happened….
Linux Desktop & Ubuntu
Back in high-school, my friend Sean Rice [LINK] introduced me to Linux & Open Source software. I have fond memories of finishing up math homework, watching South Park (don’t judge, I have a soft spot for satire and political humor), and going over his home to tinker with Linux. Recently, I found a really old…

RIP: Dan Kaminsky
Sad to hear Dan Kaminsky passed away yesterday at the young age of 42. He was an amazing researcher and teacher – and a true pioneer in privacy. He dates back to 2005 – helping expose the Sony Rootkit scandal [LINK] as well as hardening DNS. What troubles me the most about this, is how…

Wonder if Charles Addams had 2020 in mind?
Don’t Just Vote
When you vote for the lesser evil, you’re still supporting evil. I always thought it was ridiculous how passionate people get. Especially since I think people have a lot more in common than what the media wants us to think. For me? It’s a waste of time As I watch the last presidential debate, I…
Zdzisław Beksiński
Meet Zdzisław Beksiński. His dystopian landscapes felt as if he wanted to express his concerns over the dehumanization of life & our struggle with those in power. He grew up during the Nazi invasion of Poland. And despite his struggles with fascism, those close to him claim he was a shy but humorous man. He…
A Kingdom of Bullshit
Is any of it real? I mean, look at this. Look at it! A world built on fantasy. Synthetic emotions in the form of pills. Psychological warfare in the form of advertising. Mind-altering chemicals in the form of… food! Brainwashing seminars in the form of media. Controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social networks….
