Dear All: I am utterly uninterested in your "insights" about technology + society issues if you never gave a moment's thought to social justice until it involved computers.
Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ian Kerr (@ianrkerr). I was blessed to have him as my LL.M. advisor, where I learned from his brilliance and benefitted from his deep kindness and unwavering support. He was a scholar and a mensch, and I will miss him fiercely.
Dear @catsa_gc: is opting for physical search instead of the body scanner always an option? At YQB I was just told I could not have the physical search because I was “randomly selected.”
Successfully survived my first NYC driving experience today, featuring parallel parking into a space two feet longer than vehicle. Where do I apply for my medal?

Had a very engaging lunch discussion about security research careers with enthusiastic students (and @matthew_d_green) at #usesec18.
Well, I appear to have made it to my first @hopeconf. Looking forward to seeing old comrades and meeting new ones, so please say hi!

Very much enjoyed starting my day with @amatwyshyn's talk on "The Internet of Bodies" at NYU's "Sensing the City" event.

A thoughtful, comprehensive, and sad thread. xitter.cf/docfreeride/status/939…
Things I predict will happen when I name my most significant harasser in my discipline, not necessarily in chronological order:

Enjoyed hearing @zeynep talk at @CivicHall tonight, particularly her bemoaning the "complete lack of imagination in tech!"
"Stop Making Sense" (1984) is joyous, vital, relentless. Utter brilliance from Talking Heads and the late lamented Jonathan Demme.

I never got to see Talking Heads at CBGB but I did get to see "Stop Making Sense" at the Castro Theatre tonight with an enthusiastic crowd.

A reminder to submit your radical ideas to the New Security Paradigms Workshop #nspw17 -- the deadline is today! nspw.org/2017/cfp

A moment of moving, heartfelt solidarity tonight with my Castro community, for which I am deeply grateful.

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man." (From @SFMOMA's "Typeface to Interface" exhibition.)
Finally, a payoff for one of my least-useful skills. (At the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. I took home three.)
