As I'm sure you all know, I've long mused on what exactly put us on a path towards the current state of World of Warcraft.

Titling this as "coming out" to me almost seems, I don't know, derogatory to actual members of the LGBT community that have legitimately had to deal with issues of discrimination over their lifetimes.

I was having a conversation with a coworker at a former place of employment about the role of IT within the business structure and the ever evolving paradigm we happen to be stuck in; because, when you are a D&D nerd who cosplays as a purple cat there's n…

I've always made the joke that one of the prerequisites for getting involved in the field of Cybersecurity was at the end of the day you need a minor dose of paranoia in order to really operate efficiently in our field.
