        Haha, we're cool! Thanks for all you do for the industry. Your reporting helped me a lot when I was first starting out in InfoSec and continues to be one of the best resources out there. #KeepOnKeepingOn

        Yesterday I had some strangers walking through my bushes, in “generic utility” attire (always suspicious) and pointing at where I live. After rushing them, and getting up to within 5ft, I spot “Toronto Fire Service” in like 1” writing. Oops! Ha ha!

        Twitter needs to give you a switch for your DM's that recipients can see somehow. Choices are "hello friend!" and "You might want to sit down..."

        *heh* this guy has been chasing the stink to it's fink for over a decade now. Good kid. Like a OCD bloodhound on amphetamines when on the scent. Maybe someday i'll be post-hoc event vindicated enough for him to write a post about me. With my luck though, it'll be a post-mortem
