It’s hazy and I can taste ash in the air. Is Canada on fire again?

Drag queen pirate ship sounds like a blast

Certified Pre Owned makes *way* more sense once you’ve abused ADCS a few times.

Damn, Tim Cook is stepping down.

Submitted a noob village CFP 🫡

Just finished up our detection engineering class. It was pretty solid! I have some new ideas for my lab and have better ideas for hiding payloads now.

Minnesota spring in a nutshell. 70 When I went to bed last night, 30 later tonight.

Oh

Taking the SpecterOps detection engineering class this week. Putting the blue team hat back on for the first time in a while. So far I’m enjoying it :)

Idk who this looksmaxx guy is but he seems like he has issues. And not the ones that he says he’s got.

How the hell have I been at SpecterOps a year already?

Some really angry looking clouds to the south.

Man I love mead.

Think it’s finally time to upskill in the art of bot breaking.

There is nothing elegant about the code I write, but by god is it functional. Mostly.

I could go for some Pad Thai or Korean bbq right now.

I had to explain what nyancat is today

This is super cool to see. Thanks Rob!

Help I’ve relapsed

There we go. Got the last one done for now, can finally move onto another project while I have some questions out to some teams. www.winterknight.net/ccdc-2026-af...

Hey look I can get one of these guys out before 1:30! www.winterknight.net/how-to-win-c...

A bittersweet announcement: I was impacted by the layoffs at Consumer Reports, alongside a number of extremely talented colleagues. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and so proud of the work we did fighting for consumers and helping people stay safer online.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all my gender-spicy homies. I wish for your health and safety in these trying times.

www.winterknight.net/how-to-win-c... You know, you’d think I’d learn to eventually send these out not at 1:30 in the morning, but that’s not the lesson for today me. Fortunately, this is done.

Man, I can tell I didn’t sleep well last night because I am having A Day with my brain firing on 2 cylinders.

Dude I was outside for 2 hours and I got a mild burn. What?

First red flag warning of the year.

1 update to CCDC blog to go, then I have a few to split out into their own independent posts. And the debrief for the year. Because *man* it has been a season.

State colleges and university system is trying really really hard to get me to go back to school. NO! My debt is almost paid off. BACK. BACK I SAY.

I sold my copy of twilight imperium a few years ago and I just bought another copy because I age a love hate relationship with that game and apparently we’re on love.

Hello bun fren

Bbq beer time.

LinkedIn has figured out that I’m out of corporate land and in a startup now finally and the ads I’ve gotten over there have gotten *weird*

Now that CCDC is over it’s time for the yearly overhaul of that particular series of blogs.

Midwest Regional CCDC is wrapped! Congrats to DePaul University for the win!

Day 1 of Midwest regionals in the bag. Seems like we’ve been giving students some hell. I’m having a great time! Looking forward to the full day tomorrow.

I am so excited for Midwest CCDC Regionals this weekend yall have no idea.

Played a little solo terraria tabletop today, and I think they did a pretty solid job of managing it. It feels faithful to the pc game and made cuts in most of the right places. Looking forward to seeing what paper fort games does next.

Hell yeah

Hell yeah

Idk what exactly this is but I think I did well What's My JND? 0.0021 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

A whole lot of police at Urban Air in Coon Rapids.

It is #Bandcampfriday!

Today I realized my Minecraft account is older than about half of America’s high school students.

Honestly I expected this number to be higher given the extent of the ransomware

I keep seeing people pearl clutching over the Proton news from 404 media today. They got a legally binding court order. When you sign up for the service, they’re pretty explicit that’s if there’s a legal court order from Swiss authorities that compels them to turn data over they will.

Hell yeah I found a local copy of the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack (with the bonus disks) and I’m so happy. Getting them online has been a pain in the ass to find.

I love intentionally committing secrets to gitlab.

This Thursday has some real Wednesday energy
