Captain's Log (December 01, 2021)

Site News

• My infosec blogs inventory has sailed over 2k individual sites. Really cool!
• I’m working on some new artwork for the site.

What I’m Learning

• I served as a SANS vTA for the ICS515 course. ICS has been a professional interest of mine for some time and it was nice to see how the course had changed since I took it a few years ago.

Gadgets

• I’ve been somewhat resistant to the idea of purchasing an M1-powered Mac since its inception for the simple reason of it’s inability to (truly) virtualize Intel-based Windows. I recently discovered this and it has gotten me more excited about the possibility of being able to perform my professional/infosec-related tasks, in a virtualized environment, on an M1 Mac. With that said, and despite the insane power of the new M1 Macbook Pros, I still find myself wanting the beast that is the 2019 Mac Pro…

TV

• Disney+ is really killing it. I need to make time to catch up on some of their new content…
  • Hawkeye
  • Black Widow
  • Shang-Chi
  • The Book of Boba Fett (*Coming soon!)

Gaming

• Console shortage got me Xbox-less.

Investing

• TSLA volatility has been nice for some weekly gainz.

Life

• Thanksgiving has come and gone - but The Cheese Shop’s House Dressing is forever (delicious).
