This is the reason why I always advocate for auth/security stuff to be EASY to implement. Most people ARE NOT security experts. Most people DO NOT want to be security experts. Most people SHOULD NOT be security experts. Make your SDKs easy to use because auth is rarely the staple of a product.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American pals! 🦃

America are you ok?

Today’s latte art is Mina. 🦊

The king

I’m at the breakfast buffet in the hotel: Lady in front of me has an egg white omelette and all kinds of healthy stuff Me: every pastry under the sun and all the fried stuff 🙃

All this Shai-Hulud part 2 stuff is making me want to watch Dune again.

Episode #121 is out! We turn the tables and speak to @markasimos.bsky.social about new material from The Open Group. It's a long episode but worth it! Also, the news!

Went for a massage today. The lady told me that both my body and head are tired. Couldn’t be more right.

Ignite day 3: happy 40th birthday Windows!

My face when I found out the Premier League trophy at #MSIgnite is actually real

Weight training for the day

The secure the night product name LEDs are back!

Bringing you your daily Ignite forecast!

Found @sarahyo.com at #msignite2025 and it's already turning out to be a great start to the day!

Achievement unlocked: get the shibes into official Microsoft content. #MSIgnite

I keep forgetting that Americans aren’t familiar with mince pies and have to explain that they don’t actually have meat in them 😅

Proud of myself that the social team asked for #MSIgnite travel footage and I managed to get shibe cameos in.

One of the weirder things I’ve DoorDashed but totally worth it.

The mince pies have already arrived at my hotel!

Apparently taking a decent "I'm on my way to SF!" picture is harder than I thought. #MSIgnite

I went Windows 95 vibes for my #MSIgnite nails this year.

TIL there is a corner shop in SF that has a dog who works the counter. Going on a mission to find him next weekend. #MSIgnite

. @kawaiicon.bsky.social will always be my favourite security conference. Also I saw an MSRC T Shirt in the wild!

If you wanna know more about your badge and how to recycle it after the con, check out the details here: kawaiicon.org/badges/ Or if you are NZ, plant it yourself! Just rip it up, plant it, and watch your hacker flowers grow.

Wellington has to welcome me home with a wobble... so stoked that @kawaiicon.bsky.social is back tomorrow!

Hunting for my fave kaya toast in KL before the #MSAITour tomorrow!

Am I the only person who gets at least one email a day that is blatantly phishing but someone pretending to send me their resume/CV?

Episode #120 is out! We speak to @merill.net about the Zero Trust Workshop, but we also spend time talking about all things identity! Merill's final thought is pure gold.

My first ever job was at a tearoom. They make the best mince pies in the UK hands down. I recently found out they ship to the US but not to Australia so guess who is chowing down on mince pies at #MSIgnite?! I don't care it's only November. Come join my mince pie party.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is one of the best soundtracks to work to. Fight me.

I'm going hoooooome after 26 days on the road to these two I'm so damn excited for shibe time and my own bed!

The 2025 Microsoft Digital Defense Report is out, run don't walk! blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issue...

Why am I so obsessed with this onigiri bag and can someone buy me one kthx

New currency just dropped in Microsoft Netherlands.

RIP Windows 10

When you have an hour to kill in LA, you go to get the fancy pants celeb smoothie (it was quite good actually).

Episode #119 is out! In this episode, we speak to Ryen Macababbad about her current work on standardizing security terminology and taxonomy across Microsoft. Plus, the news!

Who is Bryan and why has he taken over my hotel TV

Sooooo who am I seeing at #MSIgnite next month? (online or in person) There will be heaps of security stuff happening: a pre-day, product announcements and time to mingle with all your favourite Microsoft security cool kids.

Cute dogs of LAX. The shibe had come from Poland, just like my two he's a jet setter!

How many stars do you rate an Uber driver who keeps asking for your number even when you've said no? Also, I wonder if he will rate me badly? 😬 (PS: OFC I don't care if he rates me badly, no means no)

Bonjour, Montreal. Or rather, bonne nuit.

Far too done up for the airport. Next stop, Ottawa!

If you didn't hear, we ANNOUNCED LOTS OF COOL SECURITY STUFF today: - Microsoft Sentinel graph - Build your own Security Copilot Agents - Microsoft security store www.microsoft.com/en-us/securi...

Wow. I made it. All my luggage made it. First order of business in Canada, acquire @timhortonsofficial.bsky.social Tim Bits.

I've got a 49 minute transfer time at O'Hare later on today. Will I make it ? Will my checked luggage make it? Place your bets now.

Love to rate coffee when I come to the States. San Diego so far doing well on decent coffee.

Blast from the (2020) past.

I'm actually taking my Australian public holiday for once! (albeit in the US) Also I thought SoCal was supposed to be sunny all the time :/
