Layer 8

Security is fundamentally about people, and everything we know about people is relevant to security. -- B. Schneier

Attention, attention …

LinkedIn is just making me depressed.  It is reminding me that I’m getting old, because as I browse through the list of former colleagues, I recognize the names ... but I can’t remember anything about the people.  So I don’t link to them.

That is all.

(Commentary from the preschooler, who is waiting for me to stop writing this and crank up YouTube already:  “That’s good working.  That’s good typing on the computer.")

Strangely enough, I had a similar epiphany this weekend… at a social gathering of people I’d last seen at least 2 years ago, most of them remembered bits about me, but all I could generally remember was that they looked familiar… man getting old kinda sucks… :S

I see linkedin now offers you the option of uploading a picture. That may help… or not… either way, I think it now truly is Facebook for grownups.

I was thinking the other day that, wait, crap, I totally forgot what I was thinking. At least I look really distinguished with Grey Streaks in my hair just like Stephen Strange from the Dr. Strange comic books.

My Grandfather told me once that when he was a kid he could walk into a grocery store and walk out with a gallon of milk, a whole chicken, a loaf of bread, a newspaper, and a dozen eggs for a nickel.

Of course you did Grandpa, they didn’t have surveillance cameras back then…

Heh, it’s this decade’s version of the 80’s “pool of people I’ve slept with but didn’t remember their names or if they were any good.”

OMFG—don’t tell me YOU were in the Anne Walters Fan Club too, rybolov??

I think I’d remember if I’d ever slept with you, though.  tongue rolleye

Heh.  I’m unforgettable that way.
