Read MoreStar Trek Celebrates 60 Years with Major Announcements at San Diego Comic-Con 2026
Apologies for veering off course for a moment and covering popular culture rather than technology, but if not for Star Trek, I would likely not have a career in technology. So I present a round-up of all things Star Trek...
Read MoreWhen the AI Breaks Its Own Rules
For most of the last year, the AI security conversation had a clear villain. Attackers were using AI to write better phishing lures, adapt malware mid-attack, and move faster than defenders could keep up with. That story was easy to...
Read MoreWhat It Took to Film a Real-Life Lion King
National Geographic’s “Lion” premiered August 19 and moved to Disney+ and Hulu the next day, closing out a four-year production that followed a cub named Kio from an eight-week-old newcomer to a shot at leading his own pride in Kenya’s...
Read MoreMeta Finalizes Massive Teen Addiction Settlement, but Proposed App Restrictions Make Kids Less Safe
Meta recently agreed to a seventeen-billion-dollar settlement resolving ongoing youth addiction lawsuits. The deal forces Facebook to implement strict daily time limits for teenage users. Executives are paying billions to actively lock kids out of their own platforms. This won’t...
Read MoreYour AI Agents Are Multiplying and Nobody’s Counting
Think about every account you’ve ever created and then forgotten about. A login for a gym you canceled two years ago. A free trial you signed up for and never used again. A vendor portal from a job you left....
Read MoreMost Cyberattacks Succeed Long Before the Malware Arrives
Malware hits your network — and by that point, attackers have already done the hard work. Weeks of it, sometimes months. Cybersecurity conversations tend to fixate on blocking malicious code, but that framing misses something critical. The bulk of successful...
Read MoreThe Aftermath of Corporate Overexpansion
I track these industry shifts from my home office here in Bend, Oregon. I serve as the Trustee for a shopping center-owning trust (or did). Recently, I finalized the official closing date for the shopping center we held in Tustin,...
Read MoreThird-Party Risk Programs Have Plenty of Data and No Way to Measure It
Every large company has some version of a vendor risk program by now. Vendor inventories, risk tiers, questionnaires, certifications, insurance requirements, and exception workflows all play an important role in understanding and managing third-party risk. But as organizations accumulate more...
Read MoreThe 2026 Google Pixel 11 Pro Hits Thirty Hours of Battery Life but the New York Keynote Proved Google Wants You to Ignore It
The Google Pixel launch event in New York was amazing! Trevor Noah opened the stage with his standard comedic delivery. A musical set from PinkPantheress followed him. The entertainment quickly gave way to a stark corporate message when Rick Osterloh...
Read MoreThe Attack That Turns Your AI Agent Into A Weapon Against You

Read MoreUnderstanding Why Agentic AI Demands a Massive CPU Renaissance and How IT Leaders Must Prepare Now
For the past three years, the technology industry has been utterly obsessed with Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). This made perfect sense during the initial generative AI boom, where the primary workloads involved training massive Large Language Models (LLMs) and generating...
Read MoreThe Sensors Changing Aviation From the Inside Out
Think about it this way — one sensor, firing milliseconds before human eyes could catch anything, standing between a routine flight and complete disaster. That’s not dramatic license. It’s how modern aviation actually works. Over the past two decades, aircraft...
Read MoreBest OST to PST Converter? A Practical Look at Online Tool and Desktop Converter by Stellar
An OST file only makes sense alongside the Outlook profile and the Exchange or Microsoft 365 account it’s tied to. Break that connection, and the file just sits there. It happens more than people expect. An account gets deleted before...
Read MoreSophos Fusion Aims To Replace Security Tool Sprawl With One AI System
The average enterprise now runs more than 45 separate security products, according to a Gartner estimate Sophos cited when it introduced Sophos Fusion in July. That sprawl means more dashboards and manual correlation work for security teams already outnumbered by...
