I'm here for good vibes and new and interesting perspectives on business and technology, especially with security themes.

### Profile image ChatGPT 4o prompt

Please draw a line drawing of an embodied but hollow business suit with no head lying relaxed atop a giant single puffed grain of rice. Use only a black pen in white background, no shading. There must be a horizon line near the top of the image for perspective but no other objects.

### Profile background ChatGPT 4o prompt

Please show an extra wide ratio landscape of pure dusty sand with the horizon out of the shot so the image is all sand, no sky. Do it in an abstract jarring style with sharp angles and make the image grainy, and block shapes representing dunes and rocks.

I'm just this guy, you know!

He/him, I share cyber wisdom, humor, and other info. If I’m upsetting Democracy’s adversaries. I’m on the right track. 
As a cyber pro and concert-level pianist, founder of PianoBarCon, and occasional melodica carrier at events. 
My opinions don’t necessarily match my past, present, or future employers, but not for lack of effort on my part.

If you insult me about something that's not true or accuse me of something that I didn't/wouldn't do, then you may get blocked without warning. If you see something that I actually AM doing wrong, I'm very open to feedback. I LOVE to be right, which means I have to be open to changing my position when I'm shown (or figure out) that I'm wrong.

If you really want to get under the hood, enjoy this autobiographical song i wrote called “Without You I’d Not Be Me”.

i live on Payómkowishum land. What does it mean to acknowledge this? Where are the Payómkowishum? Is a relationship with them possible?

if i interact with you, its because i find you or what you post interesting, and want to be your friend. sometimes jokes dont land, or nuance is lost. we all deserve as much grace as can be given- at least until we are revealed to be monsters.

Just an old geek. Learned about computers on a CARDIAC (CARDboard Illustrative Aid to Computation). Then the math teacher at HS got an old Navy surplus computer with drum memory. It had a high speed optical paper tape reader. From there it was BASIC, Cobol, FORTRAN, CMS-2Y, Jovial, Ada. Did some Java and C but never got that good. In retirement learning Rust.
