Right now.

I’m in New York. Past the ten-year mark at the museum and still glad. Done with the Catskill 3500 and starting in on the Adirondacks. Looking, slowly, at property up north. Cooking a lot. Trying to write more here.

At the desk

Deep in Azure Logic Apps and Sentinel work, KQL most days. Helping shape a two-person security team into something more durable than it was. Studying for the next GIAC and pretending I’ll start the lab work this weekend.

On the trail

Adirondack 46-ers, slow and weekend-paced. Four down. Lifting and running between trips to keep the mileage from breaking me. The Tour du Mont Blanc is on the calendar for 2027; the boots are not yet bought.

In the kitchen

Working through a stack of Sichuan recipes I keep meaning to learn. The Sunday gravy is the Sunday gravy.

Reading

Wayfinding by M.R. O’Connor. How navigation, memory, and the brain stitch a sense of place. Slow read on purpose.

Building, on the side

A few small things on /nebriv. Crittable is the one I’m pushing to most. The home lab is up; the next round of additions involves more k3s than is reasonable.

Thinking about

What a second home north of here would actually look like. How a security program survives a team change. Whether I should buy more 3D-printer filament before I run out, or finally finish what I started.
