Dear writers, bloggers, web developers, security researchers, script kiddies, basically everyone.... If you write something for other people to read, and you don't put a date that it was written and updated for any subsequent changes, you are a literal demon.

@RayRedacted I still have the letter that I got from Apple Records all those years ago on "Grey Day" for sharing the album.

[Chris Ford 🐀 @crford]

@SimonMajumdar Whoa, I didn't and I had the Quiet Riot album back in the day. I think I like this version better!

This is what it looks and sounds like when your child breaks the world record at the Olympics. This is shot live from my perspective.

My dreams:

[Ray [REDACTED] @RayRedacted]

I always wondered what it would be like to be the parent of an Olympic athlete. But it was not an actual possibility; It was more like the way you fantasize about winning a $300 million lottery. ..

Anyway, thousands of you were already following me many years ago when I first made a post on LinkedIn about my son Sam Watson. It was not about him climbing 10 to 12 hours a day. It wasn't about him winning competitions. My post was simply about his philosophy, which is best summed up with "Ut scandis, alios subleva," which means "Lift Others as you Climb."

Thousands of you have been here following the entire journey. Many off you started following the story more recently. But regardless of which group you are in, this Tuesday, tune into the Paris 2024 Olympics coverage to see what Sam's next chapter holds. No matter what the outcome, please know this: I appreciate your support, and I hope that in your daily life, you remember to always Lift Others As You Climb.
Thanks,
Ray
p.s.: (actually, it's 'as you climb, lift others') but the meaning is the same.
p.p.s. Please consider supporting @DianaInitiative. This organization epitomizes the philosophy "Ut scandis, alios subleva." In fact, it's this year's theme!!!!

- You can remove the requirement for a Microsoft account

- Disable automatic encryption

Every day I think about going black hat because with my finely honed skillset of having meetings all day I could make a million! #infosuck #infosec #letmework

Finally had a windless day and made it downtown to get a few shots. Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and our beautiful skyline looking East with the always impressive @ReunionTower Shot on a @DJIGlobal Mini 4 Pro.

I've been thinking about buying a drone for a while. Wish I'd gotten one sooner. Shot on a @DJIGlobal Mini 4 Pro.
