  Most of Oregon's sheriffs are basically Boss Hogg from The Dukes of Hazzard without the drawl. Totally corrupt, think they are above the law. https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2026/07/oregon-sheriff-and-predecessor-spent-390k-in-donations-on-jet-skis-metal-shop-and-retirement-party-county-says.html

  #Bees are hard to photograph. But they are loving the thyme plants and the fireweed (pictured) I planted for them. Fireweed is a native plant that makes exceptionally clear honey.

  One of the reasons I figure this is My Last IT Job is that I am really not willing to run my resume through various slop machines to make it acceptable for other slop machines to read and decide if my quarter century of experience is valuable or not. I am unwilling to play this game. #infosec don't #GetFediHired

  During the #WorldCup USA match broadcast, they put the camera on legendary #Thorns captain #ChristineSinclair, and John Strong made an error. He said she'd scored more goals than any other woman, but that's not right. She has scored more international goals than any other person of any gender in the history the world. As a former Timbers announcer he should know.

  Earth to the Moda Center: a bicycle helmet is not a bag. There is no universe where a bicycle helmet is also a bag. They are distinct nouns and one cannot be used for the other. Also get some goddamn bike parking, everyone knows the guy to hire. The Moda Center seems to be actively hostile to people not arriving by car.

  All this free publicity for Mark Kelly from the GOP is kind of crazy. Rather than harming him, it seems more of a sign of weakness and fear that he can beat them. It makes him more popular with the base. Please continue. I don't want to vote for freaking Gavin. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/11/pentagon-hegseth-mark-kelly-investigation

  I don't think I have it in my bones to start an entire #infosec program from scratch again, but there's an interesting Director of Information Security job at a wave energy startup in Northeast #Portland called Panthalassa. They seem to be building data center buoys, essentially, that are powered by wave energy and radiate waste heat into the ocean. Stock options and everything, get rich. Let your dog play in the dog park next door. #GetFediHired #PDX https://panthalassa.com/joi...

  RE: https://mas.to/@yantor3d/116500151375849817 I can vouch for the quality of Ryan's bright and long-lasting bike wheel lights. You should order a pair. Treat yourself!

  Holy crap I did not expect #ChrisDudley to go after #trans kids in #Oregon. Seems pretty desperate and frankly politically dumb - trying to go MAGA in the primary to then attempt a pivot to the center. We see you, #GOP. #uspol

  The popping of the #AI bubble is one of those rare events one can truly savor, where all the worst people you can think of are about to eat a serious amount of shit. <chef's kiss>

  I am really hoping the Artemis II Outlook IT issue will finally be the final nail in the coffin for Outlook (new). Outlook (classic) forever. PS I don't have any evidence that was the 'two Outlooks' problem except Occam's Razor.

  Mandy wearing a red toque hat wearing a paper frog hat, and that frog is also wearing a toque with a paper frog hat. It's toques and frogs all the way down.

  As a security professional, my advice about bringing your phone to tomorrow's protests is don't take your phone to the protest. #infosec

  I was double birding the Cybertruck in front of me on a commute last week and the guy pulled up next to me and seemed to be signaling that he had a small penis with his thumb and forefinger. I just nodded. Yes, you have a very small penis.

  I didn't really enjoy my time in middle management - I like people but do not enjoy artificially ranking them and dealing with HR in general - but there is a IT manager job for a nonprofit in my neighborhood and I wouldn't have to drive to Wilsonville.... #FirstWorldProblems

  I wish I could convince my 19-year-old nephew that this would be a great time to go study in Japan for a few years. Should be way, way safer there than here in the US.

  Mandy filmed Millie while she was doing one of her favorite things: rolling around on my side of the bed and covering herself in my stink. #DogsOfMastodon.

  Help me understand, #PoliticalScientists, why would you piss off your own army months before you expect to rely on them to pull off your #coup? And drive the price of gas through the stratosphere ensuring heavy losses in the #midterms for the only people who can protect you, politically? Just kidding. He's incapable of that sort of thought. And increasingly any thoughts at all. #SunTzu #USPol

  If you live in #Portland and enjoy #jazz and haven't seen the Sun Ra Arkestra at the #HollywoodTheatre you should do so the next time they're here because Marshall Allen is a hundred and one years old. Such an amazing show. https://www.portlandmercury.com/music/2026/03/19/48387638/the-sun-ra-arkestra-descends-upon-hollywood-theatre

  I'm too lazy to make this meme but I would really like one where Conan O'Brien pulls the big lever and rather than a Chuck Norris clip from Walker Texas Ranger, it's the scene with the kid in a wheel chair rolling down a hill and off a cliff into a lake from Mac & Me, but with Chuck Norris' fat head, instead.

  Haha, I guessed incorrectly. Update: does anyone know anyone who works in IT at #OnPoint? #Portland #IT #infosec

  You all seem very nice so I have convinced my wife to join #Mastodon. She's even less of a social media person than I am. She makes #art #jewelry and #sculpture. She's @mandy_allen and her website is https://allenmetalarts.com. Say hi!

  This seems like a very cool #movie filmed in #Portland centered around a man and his #bicycle. https://bikeportland.org/2026/03/10/a-simple-machine-film-gets-hometown-premiere-april-16th-399550

  A good article from #BikePortland with more accounts of ICE's recent unprovoked attack on the citizens of #Portland, trying to 'invoke an insurrection' and cancel the midterm election. From a #bike perspective. https://bikeportland.org/2026/02/03/joyful-bike-ride-turned-terrible-as-trump-thugs-tear-gassed-innocent-marchers-399195
