The last woman I ever had sex with insisted on keeping her crocs on the entire time. Finger was also a kitten still and watched the whole thing start to finish. He has never been the same since. #memories #sex #Christmas #experiences #sunday #morning #sundaymusings

Ian's Laws of Laundro-Dynamics:

1) A t-shirt entering the wash outside-in will be removed from the wash inside-out due to the Entropic Wash Cycle.

2) A lost sock will remain lost until not more than one week after its match is discarded.

3) A fitted sheet will never equilibrate into a tightly folded square after it is removed from its original packaging.

I’m so used to NOT posting or replying or really engaging at all on the bird app (except for with people I know IRL) for fear of being harassed by all the crazies (although I was never what one would call a power user) that it’s gonna take a bit for me to get used to not just reading and scrolling but actually interacting with strangers again. And using hashtags. #sundaymusings 🤔

It's perhaps an esoteric reference, but the #Federated tab is an Untempered Schism: a glimpse into eternity that's bound to drive most people insane.

I'm relearning how different platforms function.

Something I had enjoyed about Twitter was just sticking random thoughts out there. No images necessary. IG is less friendly for that. Mastodon doesn't have much engagement. I guess it's cross posting and finding a home.

Here's a gratuitous late morning coffee cup shit on this wonderfully slow Sunday morning. Next up? Some Coda buttons.

I woke up and actually remembered my #dream and what I want to know is how people in my dream can dress so stylish but here I am barely able to find a pair of pants that looks decent on me.

Only thing getting me out of bed is hunger.
And the need for a shower....

I've been sitting here in bed, thinking of #JohnMastadon, wondering what he and #JoanMastodon are up to on this cold Sunday morning.
I'm covered in cats and am going to have to slide out of bed so as to not disturb them.

Since @newsgoth raised the topic, I'd like to keep it going. My intuition is that there are a LOT more GRC types of people out in the workforce than there are pen testers, SOC analysts, bug hunters, REs and so on.

I will say that the thing which really drew me in to security was risk. I read the book "Black Swan" before a lot of risk programs starting crowing about black swans, and it entertained me endlessly to watch companies try to enumerate and quantify their black swan risks/exposures.

I learned a ton about decision making under uncertainty, and, in particular, that most companies don't have an appetite to be diligent about it, and so we end up with the likelihood x impact heatmap nonsense that lets people press on with their preconceived notions about what risk priorities are.

I do think that a fundamental problem we have in IT is a lack of understanding about what can go wrong. We make what we think are informed decisions, but they generally are not. We lack imagination, which is why I think we need more red team consultations in the GRC field.

My dad was raised on a farm in northern Manitoba. He spoke of eating lard sandwiches for lunch during the great depression. Not ever seeing an apple until he was 12. One of his farm homilies: 'the cream will always rise to the top'. Make it so, Mastodon

A Christmas movie is only a Christmas movie if it is relevant to the story. True or False? #sundaymusings

Black soda is the best. 🥃

Here are some #books that I read at an inappropriately young age, and hence did not appreciate them.

The list is incomplete and I'll probably add to it as I recollect more. But here are a few to start with.

1. Don Quixote
2. Grapes of Wrath
3. Lord of the Flies
4. Oliver Twist
5. Great Expectations
6. David Copperfield
7. A Tale of Two Cities

I'm beginning to see a pattern here! 🤔

#Bookstodon #SundayMusings

After starting and abandoning both for some reason in 2019, I finished Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude last year and I've restarted Love in the Time of Cholera last week. Both as #audiobooks in #audible. I like the narrators of both books, John Lee (Solitude) and Armando Durán (Cholera).
@chenthil had talked in a @poongabook meeting about Gregory Rabassa's #translation of Solitude and Edith Grossman's of Cholera. I found Rabassa more poetic.

Our collective obsession with #tragedy is a bit weird. The local free stuff group on FB reads like an episode of AGT. "Giving away 2 lightbulbs, bought wrong wattage" "OMG would love to be considered! After losing my home, job and all my clothes in the last 2 weeks, I've turned my life around by collecting lightbulbs for the local refugee community and teaching them to make eye glasses for local visually impaired underprivileged special needs puppies. BLESS." #sundaymusings

How has your day been? I’m watching the BBC Young Jazz Musician 2022 and the musician Ralph Porrett on stage looks like a young Paddy McAloon from Prefab Sprout.
