Thank you again to all of you reached out to me repeatedly over the pandemic to check in and make sure Sylvia and I were doing well. (We both are - and still count ourselves among those few we know who have successfully NOT gotten COVID-19 yet up to now!)

I guess theres no hiding it now. We lost @dakami yesterday. One of the brightest lights in infosec and probably the kindest soul I knew. The vacuum he leaves behind is impossible to measure. Please keep speculation to yourself and be respectful of his family and friends.

I have experienced both losses and victories in elections. Losses hurt deeply - I know that personally. But our nation demands that its political leaders accept both wins and losses with grace and maturity. Let the voters decide.

Every legal vote should and will be counted - as they always are. Where there are issues there are ways to address them. If anyone has proof of wrongdoing, it should be presented and resolved. Anything less harms the integrity of our elections and is dangerous for our democracy.

Want: A credit card that lets me easily create unique card numbers for merchants that do recurring charges, such that: - other merchants can't post charges to it (making it less useful after a data breach) - I can turn it off if the merchant makes it hard to cancel service.
