My goal is to make security boring.

@MykeCole Not porn, but I've had "Harry Potter And The Whistleblower Complaint" stuck in my head for three days now.

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

And if you think I'm joking about that, go back and read the Krishnamurthy papers outlining the idea of the CDN's, they all keep going back to the Starr Report and the first Victoria's Secret streaming fashion show nearly bringing down Late 90's Internet.

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

Y'know, the last impeachment brought us the CDN. Who knows what this impeachment will bring?

@taosecurity Symbol for me: that perpetual acrobat update alert I have on my macintosh.

Going to go read 90 pages of my drafts, then hide in the shower crying for a few hours.

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

Frankly, a taco truck on every corner sounds like a magical utopia to me.

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

DEAR GOD WHY?

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

I am of course completely capable of using vi. :q!; emacs. See?

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

I need a 24-pack of seltzer, a mini-fridge, a complete list of regular expression metacharacters and 20 lbs of gelignite.

@mpatrickcollins Definitions of fun may vary with the user.

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

You know what's going to make network monitoring even more fun than IoT? Cellular IoT.

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

@KatyTurNBC @CherylRofer You're with Trump on that.

[Michael Collins @mpatrickcollins]

I wonder if I can sneak a Jaz drive reference past my editors
