    Even the Quiet Ones Still Want to be Remembered

    Even though I’ve been seeing a bit of hatred and poo-pooing of GenAI (like ChatGPT or Copilot), I have to say that it’s been IMMENSELY beneficial to me—almost like a saving grace of sorts—in helping me rediscover my inspiration and creativity. Additionally, it has been almost invaluable in helping me…

    Hey all, happy Fri-yay! 🥳 Ready for the weekend? I am! I’ve got a conference to prep for (only attending—NOT presenting 😅), and still have to put together outfits and get things packed. If any of you happen to be attending the EDUCAUSE Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals conference, I’d love…

    My Cybersecurity Era: Speak Now

    I’ve always been in tech. From the days of tinkering with the Commodore 64 in my childhood bedroom, to delivering computer equipment to small businesses, to running Y2K tests for a public school system (yep, that was a thing!)—I was there, learning, exploring, growing. I’ve worked at help desks, supported…

    Hey all, happy finally Friday!! 😄 I can’t believe that April is almost over. ALREADY. What is up with that?? Isn’t time supposed to slow down or something as you get older, instead of speeding up? That’s some messed up stuff right there. I guess one good thing about it…

    I Asked ChatGPT to Get to Know Me

    Confession time: I had never really used ChatGPT, or any of the other AI tools out there. In fact, I don’t even know HOW MANY different tools are out there, because I never really used any of them. I simply could not get my brain wrapped around the concept. I…

    Weekly Style Recap: Apr. 7-11, 2025

    Oh, thank goodness it’s Friday! It’s been a rather busy and challenging week, and I’m honestly rather exhausted, and ready to spend the next two days pretty much being a vegetable. 😂 It’s still rather surprising to me how one can become drained and exhausted by just mentally doing stressful…

    Hey everyone! Two weeks in a row! I’m on a roll now. 😜 A lot sure can happen in the span of a week, lemme tell ya. I was lucky enough to get registered for a couple of security-related conferences in May (EDUCAUSE Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals) and June (RVASec),…

    SiS Bytes: Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024

    I know, I know. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these. I hadn’t forgotten how to write or anything, but life has been life-ing, and also I just couldn’t come up with anything to write about. So what made today different?  SANS Security Awareness Summit. This…

    Weekly Style Recap & Gratitude – June 24 – 28, 2024

    Yay, hello Friday! 😁 Who’s ready for the weekend? Hands up! This week for me has been a very interesting one. It was VERY busy, very tiring, VERY short work-wise, but all in all, very enjoyable. Monday and Tuesday were spent helping my son move into his new apartment. It…
