🔒 I’m at the CSO Conferencece and Awards.
Tomorrow, my team will be accepting a CSO50 award for our security automation platform that supports 4000 engineers and 7000 applications.
I’ve since left the company, but am here supporting my previous team. Proud of them!
🏈 do you not get in trouble for throwing the ball away, anymore?
Odd to me that “scarf culture” has taken up in USA for ⚽️.

☕️ People say you can’t make tea using a pourover method, but I’ve done it with a couple types and it’s worked great.
🚲 It is officially “wear gloves when biking” weather. 🍁
🧦 On recommendation, I’ve tried Darn Tough socks a couple times, but they just don’t stay up. (Partially, I suspect, because their XL is still a little small for a 13, and their XXL isn’t available in most pairs.)

📚 I’m reading Richard Powers - The Overstory and this Zen Pencils makes me think of it.

🎶 Underoath is about to close it out.

I think they plan to do mostly (only?) Chasing Safety stuff tonight.
🎶 Extol ran out of “trash can wristbands” (after Bruce was throwing them into the audience) but Christer Espevoll gave me his in the booth! 😲 #FF24
🎶 Extol’s Burial was one of the first real extreme metal tracks I ever heard & enjoyed and it’s still one of the best. #FF24
Thanks for making it all the way from Norway (and Arkansas, Bruce).
🎶 up next, the moment I’ve been waiting for:
Extol with special guest Bruce Fitzhugh of Living Sacrifice
This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime shows. #FF24
