@rossjanderson Looks great. Thanks for sharing. If you are interested, I'm a futurist & teamed up with a security professional to develop 12 future security scenarios + 13 new paradigms in a paper published last year.
Interesting work, also their work on the emotional cost of cybersecurity (https://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2015/11/20/the-emotional-cost-of-cybercrime/). cc @bobblakley #cybercrime https://twitter.com/rossjanderson/status/1134122310527590401
So my decision to bail on the events of the weekend was correct. Waking up to my dog sleeping with his face on my pillow next to mine is better than all the things I've already done to just do again.
In other news, I tried on a few of my archived gowns from my LA/SF life, and I remember why I prefer corsets/goth industrial look.

Spent storm clouds give desert shade, but no rain. The air is filled with hummingbird acrobatics, black Carpenter bees, rock doves. I have so much to do, creating my desert oasis, but it already blooms colors of the rainbow & I wait for plums, apricots, pomegranates to ripen.
Can I not sit a while and enjoy what I have already created out of the desert rock and sand?
Trying to read this book on leadership (cause I have a lot to learn) and keep being distracted by hummingbird acrobatics. We got 4 here, one hummingbird feeder and myriad of blooms (Palo Verde, chaparral sage, rose, jacaranda, bougainvillea, honeysuckle).
Often when I am writing a research report, I think I have to find the solutions to all the problems I've uncovered. But then I think, all I have to do is share what I found, and maybe we can share the work of solving the problems together.

Two margarita's later and I'm having whipped cream and blueberries for dinner. This is why I can't be allowed to drink tequila.
Well, since tonight has gone to the dogs, I'll just pour a glass of wine and open up this research and work on its future scenarios.
@jerickso Well, sometimes I'm willing to consider certain creative possibilities more when I'm in a more flexible mindset. Course, I can always edit them out later. But I do tend to make interesting connections...

@citizenrobot So with you.
So you know what's crazy? Legally, I can't donate to @ewarren 's campaign. Why? My company is a federal contractor, and per the terms of their donation rules, I am barred until my contract is complete. I've never noticed that for any other candidate. Impressed with her integrity!
And it doesn't matter that I have private sector clients either. Learn something new everyday.
Anyone who wants to live on Mars, needs to spend a summer in Wonder Valley, CA. This isn't even day 2 of triple digit summer (that starts in July), but wow, the heat, she is hot. Glad I have my tardis work dome.
Sometimes there is a sunset and there is no way to catch the effect of the blaze across the sky.
image image image@roxannedarling I have a swamp cooler. Stays downright tropical and damp inside. Woke up to 64 degrees this morning.
Winds kicked up, about 10 mph. Still the orange glow and the sliver moon in western sky. The air is soft like al dente pasta. The dog is curled in the diamond of my legs. My glass of wine half drunk. Not a bad way to wait out the end of the world.
@missrogue @Equinox I hacked that part of me by getting a personal trainer - 2x a week, 30 minutes with her, 10 min cardio warmup, and I made her give me 30 minutes of weight training after our PT session. 6 months of that (minus solid weeks for travel) and I go to the gym 2-4x a week solo.

@timescanner Hi, I know it's a little hard to set up a bar on an asteroid, & I know of this volcano in the Mojave desert, where we could organize a goth/tiki bar/nite. I also know a bunch of mines & have a creepy homesteader shack that was used in horror films. WE CAN REALLY MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
@timescanner What do you want to know? Just need a soundsystem (easily acquired), genny (I have one + also easy), + date (check the temps) + location. This is southern california location, & I have no idea where you are, but I live here.
@timescanner I have been dreaming of having the @Orbinfo play inside this nearby volcanic cindercone.
@timescanner But you'll have to mix your playlist. ;-)
@timescanner Come down to Joshua Tree sometime and I can location scout w/ you. Or trust me, set up date and jump into the unknown.
@timescanner @Orbinfo Right! I figure, if I can't get them personally, I will play the Moonbuilding album myself. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkeFNe4R8q0&list=PLG20XaV5nudtr1ins_GJKha2ZZfa40_d3) PS. Mojave National Preserve has lots of volcanoes & I have a 4x4 & this is a real, despite crazy idea/offer!

@hacks4pancakes I grew up in the Midwest but spent my summers in SoCal so I always had some weird mix of valley girl + midwest + language student. I do wish I could drop my high rising intonation although.
I’m at the point in my training where I’m dropping inches most places, gaining inches in my arms, dropping pounds but not as fast as I’d like (what can I say, I refused to stop making/eating cake carbs). It’s amazing to carry two heavy bags of groceries no problem.
When I get serious about toning, then watch out. One day I’ll pause on the cake carbs, but I haven’t reached that yet.
What’s really interesting is to learn my favorite things: coffee, whipped cream, cake. Things I thought were my favorite things but I pretty easily gave up: chocolate, cheese, pasta, and most sugar (cake not included!!).
@nicoleradziwill Sounds like those are two must haves!! Don’t give them up! I love grapefruit juice - just had some actually!
I point out biases in a system. Reply says this is the way the system works, we can't do anything. Don't really feel like there was desire to address the biasedness of the system, just the guideline to play along. *head desk* Why do I even bother?!@?!
If we don't challenge the systems that got us to where we are today and change them, nothing will change and I don't want to live in that world. (And TBH, I don't and that's my problem when interacting with people.)
Goes back to @chickenjohn 's quote, "We don't do it for other people, we do it because that's the world you want to live in, whether or not anyone else wants to live in that world." Meh.
@FuselJeremiad I think I'm going to just go out and plan my orchard, so I can remove myself from human society even more.
@FuselJeremiad Yes, but pear trees give pears (yours I suspect, it might be too hot for mine, but the apricot is doing great). But yes, there is always drama with the insects and birds wars.
@klaitner @clayforsberg I wouldn’t call biased as willfully blind. The problem with biases is we don’t see them, and we tend to bias our own experience, so we stay in our corners believing what we believe. And it is a rare individual who does not defend themself. Le sigh.
@klaitner @clayforsberg But yes, it is difficult to care for/about these people/situations. This is where it’s hard for me not to go dracarys and instead tend my garden.
@FuselJeremiad Just the most recent.
Just realized my first set of future scenarios will be 10 years old in 2020. Interesting to see how they've held up: https://www.heathervescent.com/novenify/ & https://vimeo.com/52354666 #futureofmoney #longevity #futureoofmoney2010 #retrofutureofmoney
@nicoleradziwill @klaitner @clayforsberg I shouldn't have even pointed it out to these people, but some are close colleagues/friends & it's a community near to my <3 so I expected more. I should know better. A system reinforces the system, doesn't matter who holds the rolls. Also, don't have expectations.

@csuwildcat @darrello OK, thanks for clarifying, but I'd like citable references. While I appreciate what you're pulling out of your brain, the researcher in me is not satisfied.
It's been a busy day on the front slab. Started out with two copulating spiny lizards, then just some regular desert iguanas and lizards. Then a cottontail, and now the sunset fading to cooling darkness, the dog and sphinx moths.
Orion was my friend over the winter, the big dipper dipping into the horizon, but summer now, & Orion is gone, the big dipper overhead, w/ Jupiter nightly rising red in the east. It's amazing to be in sync w/ the cycles of nature, watching the stars as they shift in the sky.
There are no sweeter apricots than the ones I have just eaten, fresh picked ripe from my tree, drenched in morning Mojave desert light. #bliss

It's 103. In a break between calls, I harvested the final apricots from the tree. They are hot and sweet and delicious beyond any I have ever tasted. I inspect the plums. In this heat, they grow plump and red, still clinging to their stems. I am full of poetic anticipation.

It's 105. I'm behind the ball on the heat today and my swamp is barely pulling 76 inside. It's because I got up late at 8am today. If you don't start your swamp at 6am, you'll never get ahead of the heat....

To the east, a glowing orb; to the west, the setting rays; to the north, flashes of heat lightning; to the south, I do not know. Above, the stars reveal themselves; below, sand but no beach; and in my lungs and the trees, always the wind. Bliss. Emptiness.

Saturday morning and I've got the Rio de Janeiro saudade. Sooth that longing with electronica bossa nova and a cool breeze. Memories always deliver, agua de coco on praia do futuro, balmy nights at the open air clubs w/ the posse, the click of cobblestone streets.
This is why I always eat before my flight, travel with copious snacks and water and make sure I am not too sleep deprived or hangry or otherwise emotionally agitated when I go through modern checkpoints or security. #emotionalresilence https://twitter.com/gelliottmorris/status/1142499143140683777
IMO, one of the best thing you can do to fight the infowar going on in the US is take care of yourself and expand your #emotionalresilience. We are far too weak on this, which is what got us here in the first place.

Apparently today is the day to test my stress/anxiety levels. Just when I think the current set of problems is solved, someone introduces a new level. Only calming experiences for the rest of the day please.
@TranceFury Perfect suggestion. All fears dissolve when I’m watching the earth from the window seat taking my daily dose of The Orb. Ahhhhhhhh. Also, how amazing is our earth terraforming?

Headed to my first #identiverse. Wow feels like identity geek summer camp. So glad my amazing travel guy thought fast to get me on an earlier flight after my original flight was canceled! Fingers crossed, all goes smoothly moving forward.
I’m excited to share my research insights on non-human entity identity aka 50 Billion Identities at #identiverse at 1:30pm kicking off the IoT track.
Got questions or just want to chat? Find me around the event the rest of the week.
This is desperation and fear. We have nothing to fear but fear itself - and this is our fear with a pistol pointed back at the nation. https://twitter.com/refuturing/status/1143244903423643649

I appreciate the chance to share some highlights from our NPE research. Thanks for coming! https://twitter.com/Identiverse/status/1143586010753880067
@TranceFury Thank you!
This thread is amazing https://twitter.com/JGamblin/status/1143305037248159744
@_JohnWhelan Maybe you should read my book about it...
@rosiepongracz Thank you!! Xx
Back when I was researching/writing for the Cyber Attack Survival Manual, I sold all my Bitcoin cause I was convinced the transactions were all for bad things to humanity. My current research had lead me to associate designer brands like Louis Vuitton with terrorist financing.
I know those might be a bit extreme, but I want everyone to realize that they are a small part of the problem. No one is pure. We just don't know how much we contribute to the pain and suffering in the world because our systems are opaque.
Everything is counterfeit and everyone is faking it.
@babiejenks @benjaminjackson Totally thought that watching the few episodes I saw.
@refuturing @babiejenks I am not surprised at all. I lived in WeHo. I walked by all the money laundering fronts. I used to kinda enjoy the seediness they brought to the neighborhood, but not any more....
@babiejenks @benjaminjackson Would love to hear/read more of your thoughts/analysis on this subject.
@babiejenks @refuturing Absolutely. Hearts and minds kind of thing, but not hearts or minds... genius level inception.
Hi @ewarren, I heard you are working on a plan to improve our voting systems (yes we were hacked). I recently wrote a government funded report on that (& why I can't contribute to your campaign) that outlines an agenda for resilience. I hope you read it: https://bit.ly/vdsreport
There is a lot of good stuff in this plan. And there are other low-hanging fruit things we can do, like require ERIC and usability testing of voting systems - you know, like a dry run. More ideas in this report, that I wrote & was funded by DHS S&T https://bit.ly/vdsreport. https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1143534545901408257
The mere thought that maybe Elizabeth Warren would read my Voter Data Report, even the slight possibility, is blowing my mind. That something I did could have an even greater positive impact on the world - I knew it was possible, but I never saw the way how.
I really need some help amplifying my research....

Oh just having a three hour conversation with @GuruAllan about Self Sovereign Identity, Game of Thrones character development, Shakespeare, genetics, etc. as one does at @Identiverse .

I'm getting tons of Louis Vuitton ads, guess I've been talking about counterfeits and terrorist financing too much.
Sipping a dry white wine, watching the evening commute. The air moist, calming on my skin, in my lungs. Lightning flashes. I meditate on security and fear. In my hand I hold three postcards, I think about their messages and to whom I will address them. The rain comes. #DC
@stevegio @GuruAllan Ooooo, thank you!
I love that there are 20 Dem contenders. What a huge, diverse attack surface! #infowar #disinformation

A well deserved Saturday, going for Inbox Zero on 4 mailboxes, instapot cooking, a snoring dog, birds singing outside, closing up the month of June and dreams for July.

@pruijter Oooo, thank's for the tip! Also, we gotta figure out some event to bring me to Amsterdam this fall!
Why a practice of emotional resiliency is so important to fight today's infowar. How can you increase your emotional resiliency? Here's my kinda adjacent 7 tips list: https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/319178?v=7 https://twitter.com/cwarzel/status/1145128030584500224
I succeeded on two of my inboxes... and it's been a lazy, mild day in the Mojave, where I actually got some writing done.
@kimdhamilton :-(
It’s downright chilly and overcast only 88 degrees. Errant raindrops, the hummingbird buzzing so low Archibald tries to get him. Fat drops of sap form outside the blooms of my Mexican Bird of Paradise. I wait for dinner.

All these meetings are just business development for when he's no longer President. That's when the world should really be scared.
@JasonMiles @kozmicfunk She's taking on a much bigger problem: building the economic base of the US middle class, and all the other things she has a plan for. Everyone else is an obstacle she will circumnavigate.
In the past 12 hours, I read this "diet" book that was recommended to me, and now I have the power to eat all the carbs my heart desires! Paleo-eaters be-gone! I will tend my garden and eat cake!
@MuteDialog Well, TBH, I never pay attention to diets, but I enjoyed reading this book because I basically eat what my body tells me it wants - even it's a pumpkin chai spice loaf... so this basically confirmed my intuitive eating...
