RIP buddy, still miss you!

I took a class for the CISSP certification. Its a hell of a certification, honestly, and 5 days of cramming was not enough. This is ONE of the books.

Now, full disclosure. I understand that a lot of my blog posts are about animals. I get that. I self-identify as the dog version of crazy-cat-lady. Whenever the “At parties, I play with the dog” meme gets recycled, I’m the one people tag. I’m involved heavily with 3 separate dog rescue organizations in the Baltimore area, and my preferred activity at any given time would be “roll around with puppies”.

It’s March 20, and it snowed today. Thats horrible. I know I’m not the only one to post the image below. I don’t care.

My dog was terminally ill. He passed away in my arms this evening.

Social media has taken over our lives, replacing traditional correspondence, news delivery, photo albums, music recommendations, and even high school reunions. There are basically 4 types of post that any given person posts on any given social network, and its important to talk about them before we figure out whats WRONG with them.

There is a big to-do about “Inbox Zero,” which is a concept that, as closely as I can tell, started with Merlin Mann, a known productivity guru.

I heard a story on a podcast this weekend that I really liked, so I think I’ll share it!

The bare doldrums of a blog… The times when the owner gets too busy to tell everyone what he’s doing!

Today is System Administrator’s Day.
