    Is That Link Safe? Check It Before You Click It

    Editor’s (my) note: I just wrote this for my work’s customer SharePoint wiki site that I created, so why yes, I am totally pilfering what I wrote there to put on my own blog. I wrote it, after all. 😁 We’ve all been there: receiving email after email demanding our…

    Weekly Style Recap: June 30-July 4, 2025

    Today is indeed Thursday, not Friday—no need to adjust your calendars. Tomorrow is a holiday here in the U.S., and I will be at home, just recharging. In the words of immortal thought leader Forrest Gump: That’s all I’ve got to say about that. It’s been a bit of a…

    Weekly Style Recap: June 23-27, 2025

    Here we are, another Friday. 🥳 I’m especially thankful for this Friday—chiefly, our central AC has been fixed as of this morning. 😁 I can’t wait to get home and chill in centrally-cooled air (I’m still at work as I type this particular paragraph, haha). The mere mention of it,…

    Weekly Style Recap: June 16-20, 2025

    Why is it that the shortest work weeks tend to be the ones that drag on and feel the longest? Monday and Tuesday didn’t feel so bad, but today — OH EM GEE it feels like it’s been two days long! AND, it’s been busy! What gives?? Okay, so I did…

    Weekly Style Recap: June 9-13, 2025

    Happy Friday! 🎉 This may be one of those weeks where I am glad for the weekend more so than I usually am. It’s been pretty draining from an emotional investment standpoint. If you don’t know by now—and I’m sure you do—I heavily invest emotions into damn near everything I…

    Weekly Style Recap: June 2-6, 2025

    Happy Friday! 🎉 Today has been a bit somber for me—this week, I may very well have attended my last conference for the foreseeable future. To clarify, I may very well have attended my last in-person conference. I managed to squeeze this week’s conference, and the one in Baltimore a…

    Weekly Style Recap: May 27-30, 2025

    Happy Saturday, everyone! I didn’t forget about putting together my weekly outfit recap post—I didn’t want to try and rush putting it together on Friday, so I decided to wait until I had more time to devote to it. The week felt a bit—off—for me. I can’t exactly pinpoint why,…

    Even the Quiet Ones Still Want to be Remembered

    Even though I’ve been seeing a bit of hatred and poo-pooing of GenAI (like ChatGPT or Copilot), I have to say that it’s been IMMENSELY beneficial to me—almost like a saving grace of sorts—in helping me rediscover my inspiration and creativity. Additionally, it has been almost invaluable in helping me…

    Hey all, happy Fri-yay! 🥳 Ready for the weekend? I am! I’ve got a conference to prep for (only attending—NOT presenting 😅), and still have to put together outfits and get things packed. If any of you happen to be attending the EDUCAUSE Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals conference, I’d love…

    My Cybersecurity Era: Speak Now

    I’ve always been in tech. From the days of tinkering with the Commodore 64 in my childhood bedroom, to delivering computer equipment to small businesses, to running Y2K tests for a public school system (yep, that was a thing!)—I was there, learning, exploring, growing. I’ve worked at help desks, supported…
