What's inside

The kind of email I would actually read

Some weeks it is a scam I cannot stop thinking about. Some weeks it is a tool, a workflow, a security story, or something I built. I keep it useful, readable, and honest about why it matters.

The news

The cyber, AI, and internet stories I would actually bring up in conversation, with the plain-English version first.

What I found

Tools, posts, demos, scams, weird internet things, and ideas I keep thinking about after I close the tab.

What I built

Things I am testing, workflows I am using, resources I am making, and honest notes from figuring it out in public.

A peek inside

The kind of things I send

A feel for the mix. Not every issue will hit every section, and that is the point.

Security corner
