Alcoholism

6/21/2017

Before mid-life I used to think “how could he allow himself to become an alcoholic.” 

After my mid-life started I think “how can anyone NOT plunge themselves into abject alcoholism.”

Time vs Money

6/20/2017

I don't know why I never considered the current situation I am in as possible.

At mid-life, I am in full recognition of a significant lifestyle change.  I'm pretty sure its all the fault of my new kid.  But of course he's wonderful and amazing and so worth it :\

Before, I had more time than money.  I would sacrifice time in favor of saving money.
In other words, I tended to be very frugal.  If I could save money by taking longer, then I took longer.

Now, I have more money than time.  Old habits are hard to break though.  I have to sacrifice money in favor of gaining more time.

"every man dies.  not every man truly lives" goes the saying.

A Great Day for Phishing

6/20/2017

Today is a great day for phishing.

But then again, every day is a great day for phishing for the typical cyber criminal.

A pair of words from my father I used to hear (more often than any other guidance) was "safety first."  In most endeavors of sending me off into the world for education, adventure, travel, or the unknown, I heard those words.  Little did I know as a child, or teenager, or young adult that those two words would ring so true in my personal and professional online life.  I find myself saying the same words to my 1.5yr old son too.  You could say I'm trying the mantra on for size.  It seems to fit well.

I am late to write about the annual Father's Day event from this past Sunday, but the image of the email I got today is a prime example of "online safety first."  The internet wasn't built with a heavy emphasis on security and privacy.  We have to do extra work to use third party tools and services and encryption to make us operationally more secure in the internet-dominated world as it is today.

To all my technical brethren out there: safety first!

To my dad, whose family fled North Korea when he was a child seeking safety, who as a husband/father immigrated to the United States seeking opportunity for himself and his children, I give my undying love and deepest admiration of your bravery.

Five quick ideas you can explore for more privacy, more security:

Tenta Browser (created and founded by my good friends Jesse and Jen)
https://tenta.com/

Comcast DDoS Protection for your Enterprise (as part of my day job)
https://business.comcast.com/ethernet/dedicated-internet/threat-management

Learn about blockchain technology and its built-in feature of pseudonymity
https://www.ted.com/talks/don_tapscott_how_the_blockchain_is_changing_money_and_business

Consider a new BlackBerry KeyOne that integrates Android and the legendary security capabilities of BlackBerry (aka Research in Motion)
http://www.blackberrymobile.com/

Read as much as humanly possible, educate yourself, trust your gut.  Be suspicious of any email that asks you to login with a provided hyperlink.  ALWAYS mouse-over the hyperlink to see where it goes, like I did in the above image.  99% of the time, you don't want to click on it.
