If you're new here and would like to see more of what I'm saying, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed (I can even email my blog posts to you when I publish a new one) or have a look at my papers and presentations page for downloads of stuff that you can share or "borrow heavily from". You also might find my guidelines for posting comments interesting, especially if you're a government employee. If you want to see me blog about anything in particular, drop me a private email on how you think I'm completely full of myself, extend me an invitation to speak at your next security meeting/event, or just to ship a huge bag of money in my direction, you can do that through my contact page. Thanks for visiting and happy hacking!

Andrew Hay, aside from being an all-around handsome guy, talked on Tuesday at B-Sides San Francisco about his life on the Information Security D-List.  Bill Brenner picked it up for CSO-Online and now it’s preserved for posterity.  Andrew’s been interviewing D-Listers and blogging the interviews.  They’re awesome inspiration if you’re one of the unsung heroes who go to work, grapple with the compliance hydra or the security operations tarpit all day, and go home to some conference videos so you can learn new skills and move on to the next project.  Yeah, I’m a D-Lister just like you folks, and I have tons of love and respect for all of you.

First, it was thundersnow.  Then a couple of weeks later, we have snowmageddon V2.0 and 3.0 right in the middle of ShmooCon.  Now maybe on Monday we’ll get even more.  How could IKANHAZFIZMA refuse this as a lolcat topic?

A little bit on the oddball side this week (versus every week, maybe not so oddball), but we’re offering up some lolcats and a QR Code.  Not only is this fun but it’s useful if you’re a forgetful person like our ikanhazfizma lolcats.

If none of this makes sense to you, go check out my barcode post and presentation from earlier this week for info and how to get your very own QR reader.

Ah yes, the BSOFH is deep down inside every security manager doing all the things that we wish we could.  And so today we present a BSOFH in lolcat form.

For more BSOFH, check out posts here on guerilla-ciso and on layer8.

So now that His Esteemed Highness Eric Schmidt has declared privacy dead, our IKANHAZFIZMA team of LOLCATS wants to know if they can resume their usual collection of cellular traffic.
