I wanted to post a “rah rah” message to Rich Mogul when he posted that GRC platforms Are Dead. He was so spot on in my humble opinion that he made me smile for a week or so. I may be a bolshy arrogant git confident but re-assurance from smart people is always comforting. Today [...]
Ask a wine maker if climate change is real. This year there will be no organic wine from Burgundy. All wine makers have had to spray to prevent mildew attacking vines. Australia will have one of the worst crops in decades and as a result prices of Australian wines will rise next year. Italy [...]
Working at Microsoft can be hard. You have to force yourself to not get distracted by all the smart things that smart people are doing and saying. Last week I was sent a summary of an internal blog post by BillG talking about the business in general, ROI and metrics. As usual the summary was [...]

A British University studied 1,050 rock stars and concluded:
European artists are twice as likely to die early than the rest of the population.
US rocks stars died with an average age of forty two while European rock stars died with an average age of thirty five.
One in ten children in the UK aspire to be a rock [...]
I think I may buy shares in Wired. I seem to plug it every month when I read articles of interest that spark my imagination. After reading the Web War One article I was engrossed by the Halo 3 story. Just yesterday I had a conversation with someone about the sophistication of games versus the [...]
Judging by the blog stats readers have been enjoying my Trends for Information Security and Long Tail of Information Security (Part 1 and Part 2) posts earlier this week. A few people have mailed me off-line asking for clarifications and suggesting ideas. Having thought about the questions raised and fired off answers (with various degrees of thought) [...]
