I think it is really important for ever american to view the presidential debates. We also need to be able to go back and look at what the candidates had to say. It is with that spirit that I am posting this hulu video of the debates. Enjoy and get involved.
Tonight I had a really good time. My wife and I went to Boswell’s bike night in rivergate. It was a great time. Free food, nice bikes, good music, and great people. Enjoy the pictures.
All security professionals have been there. That meeting where the flashy sales guy spouts off some terms and our upper leadership is sitting, smiling and ready to write checks that the tech guys can not cash. The reason this works is because of some key terms that these polished sales guys love to spout off. So that everyone is warned I feel it is time we list them all.
Deep packet inspection - Give me a break. All IPS and IDS can do deep packet inspection. This is nothing new so stop talking like it is.
Protocol based security - Really? So you are saying that you do not just watch ports and actually look at protocols no matter which ports they are traveling on? WOW thank you for saving the world.
Synergistic approach and holistic view - So let me get this straight. You take into account the environment, work with other vendors and do not assume we will deploy all of your product suites? Really? Thank you sir may I have another.
Standards compliant - Ummm OK. So you followed who’s standards? Your own? Or did you actually take the time to implements some of the other standards that are defined, but never used.

under Ron Paul
I have some friends that are giving up on Dr. Paul. I was going to head down that road myself. Well this is my official statement that I am going to stay with my heart and head. I am going to vote for Paul no matter what. I can not vote for a man because I do not like the opposition. That is like drinking stricken because you do not want arsenic.
