Really great journalists are a treasure. Pete Green and I just started chatting, within minutes I forgot I was being recorded and got to have a real conversation about what the future of authentication and cyber security looks like. The result is cyberdefensemagazine.com/innovation-spo…

I am at RSA and a bunch of people were coming up to congratulate me. Honestly, I had no idea why. Well... as always, our PR team one step ahead of me. :) prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

It's been a while! Excited to share I’ve joined #Badge, a team pioneering stable private keys from biometrics—solving a decades-old cryptography challenge! semafor.com/article/04/16/… @ReedAlbergotti @semafor

@ashleevance Hey -- as we discussed a little while ago that is exactly the problem our company solves -- not just for elderly parents but for everyone. No more worrying about is forgetting the passwords but also protecting him from Deep Fake AI [hishing attacks etc.

Anyone have an elderly parent who is always forgetting and then changing their passwords, making it near impossible to help them remotely? My dad somehow manages to disable every attempt I make to save his passwords for him. Any advice welcome.

@dotMudge Perfect timing -- I have a trip soon and need airplane reading. :)

I bet if everyone pings the author, he might get some of the cDc folk to sign a copy. Possibly with parts of any profit going to a worthy charity. ;) Note: I have zero financial interest, don’t really care for how he presents me, but I respect him as a journalist.

@rklau The one on the right

@covertgoblue @SlothMtg @mtg_malone Every time I make a new level (i.e. Plat) I play some new decks that are fun and quirky as a reward. Once that is out of my system I am back to my 2 decks. At Mythic I start playing things I think might be fun for the next run

Made Mythic early this season. Some thoughts: you can find good decks everywhere but @covertgoblue and @SlothMtg teach you how to play -- I watch them carefully as they play and see the mistakes I would have made. Then watch @mtg_malone for your daily smile.

@covertgoblue @SlothMtg @mtg_malone I play 2 decks per season -- usually one control (Jeskai my current fave) and one faster deck with less thinking (mono - B). Once I lose 2 in a row I swap decks -- if I lose 4 in a row I am done for at least an hour.

@covertgoblue @SlothMtg @mtg_malone Choose decks you like to play and play well vice the "best deck". I avoid mono R and soldiers not because they aren't amazing, but I don't like the play style so hard to get better.

@covertgoblue @SlothMtg @mtg_malone PVDR had great advice -- he said rarely hold a great hand in a mult color deck that "just" needs one specific color land. If any land will do then keeping may be right

@covertgoblue @SlothMtg @mtg_malone Couple other thoughts. Learn to Mulligan -- you are likely not doing it enough. To break my bad habit I started playing Greasefang and hard mulliganed for at least part of the combo -- stunned how many 4-5 card hands won.

Hit Mythic again. Few lessons learned. Have a deck you hate playing vs (for me monoU)? Build it, play it -- you see why its good and know how to beat it. FWIW my win rate with that deck 61%. Played mono-B with knight 57%. @MTG_sonio esper ctrl is the real deal. All B01.

@ArenaDecklists @covertgoblue Yeah especially a/g aggro -- they burst, you stabilize they rage quit. Few tips I learned -- use cover up carefully as sux if in g/y and you want to farewell g/ys. Play wanderer aggressively -- they counter no biggie you will get it back. Kill v counter call is the diff w/l

@ArenaDecklists @covertgoblue Hit mythic again. Went full CGB on them -- pure UW Bo1 ctrl std. If interested happy to share some lessons learned playing this deck -- ended w/ 64% win rate

Always believed that technology can and should not only be amazing but humanizing. People in tech often say they want to make the world a better place -- I think a good first step is to be more inclusive. youtube.com/watch?v=-MspQq…

Should have added @ArenaDecklists which is a daily required visit for me. :)

Just got into Mythic -- all Bo1. Big shout outs to @covertgoblue who has made me a much better control player -- watch his daily videos you can always learn something even when he gets salty. @sonio who gave me some great decks to play with and @mtg_malone who is flat out fun.

@MythicMeebo @ArenaDecklists @fireshoes Think it works as Bo1 as is or would you make some swaps?

Deck is B A N A N A S @ArenaDecklists @fireshoes

@evilcazz This one really hurts. I had the great pleasure of working with Drew for 4 years -- not only did he accomplish some great things but there are so many stories about him that still bring a smile to my face

Oof. This one stings. Drew had a major impact on my career as well as reevaluating how I saw myself.
