Last week a dear friend of mine took his own life. In a most tragic way. Yesterday was the funeral service, and I gathered the might to speak about him. It was nice, however somber. He was an amazing person.

Ok I'm back doing government work again. My former company called and asked if I'd lead the software security analysis team for the Veterans Administration. This has been the perfect first week, with the news breaking Monday that over 26 million veteran's had their personal information stolen because of a careless employee. Now congress and various agencies will be quite far up our ass to ensure the security of VA data. Though everything I've put in place is based on technical controls more than policy, things will be getting far more attention.

This weekend I'll setup the merch section to accept credit cards. Stickers should be in soon for a.weather. I've started writing songs again. So much drama going on personally motivates creativity. My friend Lauren once said to me that I can only write music when things aren't going well. I think she was right.

Last day of May. Summer sucks. Blehck.

I was walking Frida and watching planes chase stars earlier this evening.

This morning I had to give a lot of money to a plumber.

I have actually begun to record some music. I haven't written anything good in years. I'm slowly coming back into the fold. I think I really want to play for people again. Now if I can just get over the whole panic attack in front of masses thing.

The past few hours I have been getting dizzy spells off and on. I do not enjoy that. I'm supposed to see my doctor tomorrow... but I forgot when and where. Six months is a long time to plan - perhaps I'll call him in the AM.

The site now accepts credit cards for orders. Get to it. Goodnight all.
