Tonight in the Mojave: thick cloud cover so moonrays barely peeping out behind a stippled and ocelot patterned sky. I don't have to see it to know it rises in magnificence. The vision is burned in my memory.

OMG, I am fascinated by this site (https://applymagicsauce.com/ ). According to it I am 29-36 year old epitome of masculinty, laid back, but competitive, contemplative dude. LOL, basically I am a beta dude. Basically I want to date myself.. :-/ #troubleontriton
imageHi Twitter, earlier today a friend called me. She's been moving from California to Austin (& it's been a rough time) & was in Arizona. Her car & trailer had just been hit from behind by a Big Rig, rolled it & unbelievably she had no injuries.
Since she was in the middle of nowhere, she needed to rent a UHaul to continue her drive. But she was broke, moving on borrowed money, and her family wasn't helping her out.
She needed someone to pay for the UHaul, and I've been a friend. While I am not in a great financial situation myself, it was easy for me to use my credit card to get the truck for her. She's promised to pay me back & I trust her to do so.
I've been in tight spots in the past, and being there for her really made a difference in her life today.
So I was thinking... and this is totally crazy and probably won't work... I wonder if there are kind souls on twitter, who might be willing to throw in to cover part of her UHaul? So when she pays me back, it's not like $1k!
Even a few bucks will help. I don't know... anyone interested?
@ShibumiKiDo Isn't it the same metaphorical thing?
@fejsez Heh. I am on my way to NYC today... for some @_srl_ action!
@fejsez @_srl_ How about you meet me in NY tomorrow?

Friends, I'm very excited to publicly share my latest transmedia film scenario on the Future of Military Learning: Out-Learn, Out-Think, Win: http://www.adlnet.org/future_learning_ecosystem
This was a project my company did for the Advanced Distributed Learning CoLab, @ADL_Initiative, they focus on distributed learning technology for the military.
My company worked on this project through much of 2016 and 2017, from initial research, to scenario concepts, to film production including production of future artifacts and scenario documents.
Aside: My company, The Purple Tornado, is a full stack transmedia futures studio. I hired ~40 people over the course of the project. We're taking on new clients.
I'm especially proud of three things. 1) My casting. I wanted to cast a woman of color or latina in the main role - Martina. But with casting calls, you never know who will walk in the door as your character. I was very happy with the woman I cast for Martina.
2) The GUI. My designer and I (both x-silicon valley professionals) designed over 20 learning dashboard screens, the future OS and all the SIEM dashboards. They're on screen for seconds, but we spent months getting them correct. I'd love to design these for real.
That includes all cybersecurity courses & descriptions in the learning dashboard and all the hack code and data visualization inside the SIEM dashboard and even the pwn hack code. OK, yes, I had a little help making sure the code was legit.
3) My own leadership. This was a fantastic project and while I have worked with governments and multi-national organizations before; working in the structure of the US Military was new - and exciting.
I gained a deeper respect for the men and women in the US Military. Corporate American & civilians can learn some respect and honor from the values of these men and women. Seriously.
I did a ton of research for this project, but my favorite piece of research was reading @SPressfield 's Gates of Fire. It's required reading on General Mattis' reading list. I never thought I'd cry at the end of a war book. You are an amazing writer @SPressfield. Thank you.
I begin the video with a quote from another of @SPressfield 's book: The Warrior Ethos. You want to know what military service is like? Read this book.
There so much more I could say about this project. But here: just watch it. http://www.adlnet.org/future_learning_ecosystem #future #learning #military #vr #distributed #cybersecurity #wargames
ps. Working on this project was the nail in my libertarian philosophies. Did you know the US Military is a socialist organization?
pps. So Much Respect to the women and men who serve. Thank you.

@Khanoisseur Have the liquid hot in a separate pot. Only add a bit more to the rice when you can see the bottom of the pan. I like to add extra cream and parm cheese. Also, I tend to use a lot more white wine at the beginning. I like making sundried tomato risotto.
@Khanoisseur Perfect to serve with sautéed veggies and grilled salmon if you want more protein. Also delish cold for breakfast.
@Khanoisseur @DHBerman OMG it looks DELISH!
@Khanoisseur You can substitute kombucha for the white wine, if you have that around. ;-)
I think you've inspired me to make risotto with the turkey stock I made yesterday. Domesticity for the win! Yum! https://twitter.com/Khanoisseur/status/950838006029668355

I'm doing 90 days of FB lives. Today I covered the Glass Ceiling for Woman at the C level and the things companies can do to break it (data from 2 killed research reports I did in <5 years.) #glassceiling https://www.facebook.com/heathervescent/videos/10159690940190580/
While there has been progress at many level, the top level is still near impossible to break through. In short, there are 3 main points.
1) Women are loyal, prefer stability and stay at companies longer than men. The salary/title increases happen when you switch companies. Since women do less of this, their salary/advancement suffers.
Men, on the contrary, will switch companies much more. Their reputation counts when they are negotiating the new role/$$.
Many companies prefer external candidates, so they find a lot of men. External female candidates are fewer and harder to find.
There is double standard for internal promotions: whereas women are asked to "prove themselves", often doing a job the level above them for the same $$ as current level; men are expected to "grow into" the same role.
2) Mentoring is good, but women need champions. Champions advocate for high-visibility projects, have your back politically, take heat for you and reap your successes when you succeed.
Many C-level positions are not an option until you have shown success with a high-visibility project. And those high-visibility projects are hard to get assigned unless you have a champion.
Also, P&L experience is critical for promotion to C level. But companies don't often give that responsibility to women. (I would argue that women are better at P&L than men for many reasons & the reason they don't get this is because of power.)
3) Work-Life balance sucks for both men and women. But women who want to go to the C level have it even harder.
For men, having a partner/family is an asset - a reason to ask for more money; for a woman, it's a disadvantage, pregnancy costs, and an assumption that women won't work long hours or will take care of the family.
The reality is that BOTH genders should have time to spend with their partner and family.

You should have some experience in security, cybersecurity, information security, at any level, able to speak from your direct experience. #futureofsecurity #cybersecurity #research
Reply or DM me and I'll set something up. #futureofsecurity #cybersecurity #research
ps. This is just the prelim research, I'll be doing more interviews/etc. soon and can use *everyone's* input then. Thanks! #futureofsecurity #cybersecurity #research
pps. This is not client funded research... just my own passion for knowledge and understanding (and maybe a research paper).

OMG. LOVING this: "Price Manipulation in the Bitcoin Ecosystem" This is some serious JUICY academic writing here. I've been waiting for this kind of analysis. I'll do a live tweet as I read it. http://weis2017.econinfosec.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2017/05/WEIS_2017_paper_21.pdf
imageStandard introduction that all of us who have followed #bitcoin knows. I remember the $150-$1k "bubble." Jason Calacanis was really into bitcoin at the time.
Main results:
imageWhile there is curiosity to know *who* did this manipulation (of course, mad props to you, sir), that is less important than is this *possible*? Cryptocurrencies are not the #futureofmoney if they are so easily manipulated.
This paper used the leaked Mt. Gox CVS files, which had 18 million buy/sell transactions.
They identified 2 suspicious traders, analyzed their transactions. First trader never paid transaction fees, paid random prices for btc, weird duplicate trades and he never actually paid for the btc. Acquired 335,898 bitcoins in 33 days, then account went inactive.
Second suspicious account created about 7.5 hours after first account. This "person" used 49 IDs with each buying 2.5 Million USD in BTC - never sold it. During these times, Mt. Gox API went offline, but these trades continued.
Second trader acquired 268,132 bitcoins, for combined around 600k bitcoins total. (Mt Gox "lost" 650k bitcoins when it crashed.)
Next: The theories why. 1) saving the exchange at any cost? 2) or taking advantage of a security vulnerability? The answer doesn't matter, actually, because this paper is showing that price manipulation occurred.
Lots of delicious charts and data analysis, showing the run up in price with the two traders and the impact on other exchanges...
The suspicious trading only happened on Mt Gox, but it influenced the price on other exchanges.
In general, the exchange rate increased during this time (55% of the days there was not suspicious activity it increased), with a significant increase on days *with* suspicious trading (79% of those days showed an increase in price).
This shows the suspicious trades drove the price up - not just on Mt. Gox, but on other exchanges as well. (Paper has detailed analysis/charts of this.)
More delicious delicious analysis of bitcoin price sliced and diced by trader and exchange. Read the paper if you like this kind of thing (OMG, I am LOVING THIS SO MUCH.)
Double check the analysis with regression testing... yup, it clears.
Conclusion: Found evidence of suspicious trading activity on Mt. Gox which impacted the bitcoin ecosystem - lead to the rise of a $1K BTC price, with a crash that took 3 years to "recover."
The kind of data used in this paper for analysis is rarely available, so no one can do this kind of analysis on what is happening right now.
Although, if you can read between the lines, then, you know what to expect.
ps. regulators take note.
imagepps. This kind of speculation/manipulation is one of the reasons I liquidated all my bitcoins last spring. Money Laundering is the other big reason. Watch for more: http://www.heathervescent.com/heathervescent/2018/01/a-bitcoin-rant-why-i-liquidated-my-btc-last-year.html

Hey, so I have some cycles between projects for short-term research, analysis, writing starting now.
You have interesting data? I'll analyze & write a report.
You have questions (about present/current conditions or the future), I do research & tell you the future.
Want an opinion thinkpiece on digital identity, security, fintech, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, new economics? Easily written.
I do media production: podcasts & film projects. And love to come speak at your company or conference.
You could also sponsor my just launched "Future of Security" research.
I'm taking on longer projects as well. But mostly looking to pick up some short term 1-3 month things right now. Thanks!

I love drinking me the sunset aka a beautiful Rose at Dome Sweet Dome. https://twitter.com/BonnyDoonVineyd/status/956243206106243072
@RandallGrahm It's my pleasure and privilege to drink your bottled bliss under a gorgeous Mojave sunset. :-) ps. Thank you for the Cab Franc. xxx
Cold and rainy night in SF. Perfect for sushi and hot sake with my best friend. This year, we celebrate 20 years of a unique and never perfect friendship. But then again, perfection is overrated and soon lost, so it is perfect in its imperfection.
Visiting a place from a past life. Grabbing a latte at Cafe de la Presse at the gates of Chinatown between meetings.
@RandallGrahm I consume copious quantities of solitude before and after those kind of things. Put on your master winemaker character and play it big! Ps. Have friends you can escape into convos with as well. Be well.
@RandallGrahm From one introvert to another. :-)

@AlexRoy144 @DJBentley You wanna write some (non shitty) speculative fiction future of self driving cars mit moi?
What kind of work do I do? Here's something I did for the U.S. Army, envisioning the Future of Military Learning for the ADL Co-Lab: http://adlnet.gov/future_learning_ecosystem #cybertraining #cybersecurity #training #education #future #military

No fun like getting snockered with the hb of your bff and talking ab your non existant dating life. I would really like to have a new topic of conversation....
@missrogue @TrulySocial Congrats!
Selfie waiting for my friends for Saturday adventure. Ps. This is my favorite guestroom. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bed9VnOlVyY/
Doing very typical SF things today. Lol this place.

@scientwest Ask them what they are doing to increase the number of women working in the space.
@efng Yeah, I realized that this topic of conversation is the one I like to flog myself with. My life is damn awesome, I have trouble enjoying it at times. Thanks for coming out!
@Miss604 @JohnBiehler @thegpsoasis @VisitCA @johnbollwitt Did you check out #eastjesus while you were down in Slab City? It's a not to miss destination (but can be intimidating).

Today is Mr. Dog's anniversary. We are celebrating 11 amazing years - this one is likely his last. I'm baking him a chicken.
Because... love. And anniversaries. #mrdog https://www.instagram.com/p/Bei8CL1Fgwa/

@Livable79 OMG, that is amazing!!!
Even coyotes like baked chicken. Following hot on the trail of a jack rabbit. https://www.instagram.com/p/BejcEy3lGZk/
For the being I love most. Happy Anniversary Mr Dog. https://www.instagram.com/p/BejcLOqF2Qc/
Never enough chicken. https://www.instagram.com/p/BejcWF1Fgq5/
Part 2. For health and love. Thanks you dino-chickens. Also I'm back to omnivore. https://www.instagram.com/p/BejcfbJFc02/
I heard someone is talking about a flamethrower. Retro-Vescent in the Mojave wearing an evening gown with flamethrower.

Theme word for my next year on planet spaceship earth: Oasis. Cause I live in the desert and everything I touch turns life.
Pastel moon rising in a pastel sky. #fullmoon #birthday #mojave https://www.instagram.com/p/BemCgKOFMAZ/
Coyotes are absolutely off the hook - yip-squealing while this huge ivory moon rises, gains illumination as pastel blue, purple and ivory darken the sky. Rabbit on the moon, rabbit in the desert.
Was there some thing tonight? I just had an excellent mom cooked dinner of tomato soup and grilled cheese while the full moon rose in my beloved Mojave sky. Bliss.
I love the skies in the Mojave. Full moon and a sky full of stars. #Eclipse

Everytime "She's a Bad Mama jama" plays, I think of that NY boyfriend who's never forgotten to wish me happy birthday. And his mama-jama cheerleader painting (a series). Plus the song has a sic bass line and is very motivating. So many good memories in 4 minutes.
