Nothing will shape your worldview as much as simply reading how humans from the past thought.
You realize very quickly that our time is a radical anomaly in human history.
Last week I hosted family for Thanksgiving.
My 12-year-old nephew asked for the WiFi password.
He wanted to play Roblox on his iPad.
I looked at the device.
Unmanaged. No antivirus. No encryption.
I’m an IT Professional. I don't run an open network.
So I didn’t give him the password.
Instead, I spent 45 minutes provisioning a Guest VLAN.
I set up a captive portal.
I throttled the bandwidth down to 56kbps.
Then I blocked all traffic on ports 80 and 443.
He came back crying. He said it wouldn't load.
My sister screamed at me to "just let him play."
I told her that Zero Trust architecture doesn't care about bloodlines.
We didn't have a "fun" Thanksgiving.
But we had a secure perimeter.
You’re welcome for the compliance.
My personality confuses people. I enjoy being alone, a lot, but I'm also outgoing and social. My environment dictates how I behave. Sometimes I'm quiet, sometimes I'm loud, sometimes I'm outspoken, sometimes I have nothing to say. I read the energy and i adjust.
North London forever
Whatever the weather
These streets are our own
And my heart will leave you never
My blood will forever
Run through the stone
This is OUR home
The highest-scoring team in Europe, Bayern Munich, managed just ONE shot on target against Arsenal and that’s without Gabriel Magalhães. Defensively ruthless. Mentally unbreakable. Absolutely elite.
Smashing a Bayern team that hadn’t lost a single time season is one thing.
But doing it without Gabriel, Ødegaard, Gyokeres & Havertz too…
Mikel Arteta. 👏🏼
