The code involved is […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was going through some old blog posts, and one I found contained the following story: Mouse Story A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” The mouse wondered – he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

My wife and I homeschool, so we include our kids in a lot of extracurricular “stuff” to hopefully keep them well-rounded. One of the things my oldest son does is take a Lego engineering class at a small local school that caters to homeschoolers. Last year, when we first signed up for the school, we […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

In the Bible (no, this is not a sermon – yes, this is InfoSec relevant), there was this group that Paul ran into called the Berean Jews. (Acts 17:10-15 if you want to look it up). These Bereans were shown in the scriptures to be diligent people who checked the facts. Verse 11 says: Now the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

We have a little bit of innuendo humor on this episode, and we all break into some hysterics (it’s all in the geek toys section, so fast forward if you want to hear all that). Around that is some information and opinion on InfoSec stuff. We figured we would throw that in there because of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was running through some Twitter posts from some friends / colleagues / random InfoSec folks, and I saw one from Jack Daniel that led me to his latest blog post. In the post, Jack quickly covers the topic of preaching to the choir and staying in our own infosec echo chamber. He says it […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thomas Jefferson said, “Delay is preferable to error.” Martin Luther said, “Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking will never accomplish anything.” So depending on which quote you like, we either took a long time to record a new episode so we would do it right, or we are just a bunch of slackers.

So do we suck or what? Sorry that its taken so long for us to get another episode out… things have been crazy busy for all of us.

Can […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Just realized that iTunes picked up Episode 31 instead of episode 32 on the latest post. I had to delete the enclosure in WordPress and then recreate it. Not sure what happened. If you subscribe to the podcast via iTunes, you may need to delete Episode 32 and then update. Sorry about that! Vet
OK, holy crap. We expected this episode to be pretty short since Jim was not around to add his golden commentary, but we got to yappin’ and churned out almost an hour of content (I use that term loosely).

Link to MP3 OK, this was just a stupid, crazy, and fun episode. We had technical hiccups, a roving co-host that likes to text another cohost during recording, plus this episode is late getting recorded because of end-of-year schedule. But we powered through it, and Jim got to spend a lot of time on post-production. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
