Happy Friday, all! I hope you all had a good week. It’s been good for me for the most part, but I’ll admit that I was feeling a bit ‘meh’ yesterday. Not sure why, but doing better today! If you hadn’t read last week’s recap blog post about Microsoft’s Recall…

It’s kind of funny: as I’m listening to today’s episode of Cyberwire Daily, the first story is exactly what I wanted to chat about in today’s post… Recall. No, I’m not talking about Total Recall. And, the GOOD one, not that one with Colin Farrell. I’m talking about Recall, that…

Something Gave Me Pause This Morning, and I Just Had to Write About It
•
Something occurred to me this morning, that never really had before. It made me think so much, that I just HAD to write something about it.
