  • This blog site will NEVER automatically ask you to install anything.  If you receive a dialog or popup from this site asking you to approve any actions, please refuse and notify me immediately.
  • I have four categories of posts.  (This blog is primarily for non-technical folks.)
    • Audience 1 – Non-technical.
    • Audience 2 – Intermediate.  (Tech savvy non-IT pros.)
    • Audience 3 – Advanced.  (IT pros.)
    • Audience 4 – InfoSec Pros.
  • My cat sometimes writes in my place.  Do not be alarmed.

Welcome

I have frequently posted InfoSec advice for my personal friends on Facebook, and that seems to have been relatively well-received.  I have therefore decided to put my thoughts, musings, and so forth into a blog format.  My audience is primarily going to be non-tech people who want to learn some basics in order to more secure, and tech-savvy individuals or small businesses (not working in InfoTech or InfoSec) who can digest a little more technical detail.  Occasionally, I might drop a more technical post, but I plan on those being relatively rare.  Posts will be categorized so you know how technical it will be before you read it.

I look forward to your feedback.  Let me know if you find this useful!
