Meta: I have kept a public Mastodon account since leaving the other place, and this hasn't resulted in the level of drama that a public Twitter account did. Twitter kept turning my life upside down and never made me any money, so I limit social media because I don't have time for that.

These days, employers have social media policies that make it explicit that you can be fired for social media posts they don't like. I wouldn't compromise my principles over something like this, but also, most hot-button issues just aren't my fight. Expect I'll mostly stick to infosec and cats.

So, what have I been doing since 2022? I still live in an exclave, Jimbo Meydenbauer Meowser The First is as mischievous as ever, and I married a pretty incredible guy from Kazakhstan. I'm in a corporate infosec leadership role, and always happy to chat about the human elements of software security.

For investor friends, I'm open to helping early stage startups in their portfolios think about software security the right way. As a former founder myself, I understand both what is realistic and what matters the most given scarce resources. Feel free to reach out if I can be of any assistance.

I appreciate @defcon.bsky.social giving hackers a home at defcon dot social and I don't plan to disengage from there. In fact, I think I'll mostly still be over there. It's a great place for high-impact conversations with some of the smartest and most technical people in the world.
