Welcome!

Thanks for subscribing to my site! I spend a lot of time here putting together things that I think will be useful, and you get access to all of it now.

Membership:

As a member, you now have full access to the site (including historical WYSK articles and downloads of content like Obsidian vaults). You also have access to receive the site's newsletters (click here to update your email subscriptions).

You now also have the ability to comment on posts. Please do! Review the community guidelines to understand the intent and rules behind comments.

Your data is protected as laid out in the privacy policy.

You'll find four main types of content here:

  • Analysis of major events or news stories (usually focusing on governance, security, and economics). I'll also offer my opinion, but even better you'll get the sources and data behind it. The weekly WYSK newsletter falls under this category.
  • Cybersecurity articles, mostly focusing on ransomware and critical infrastructure, but also some how-to articles on development.
  • Notes and how-tos on Obsidian, my favorite app for note taking and personal knowledge management!
  • Quick thoughts, original thoughts synthesizing key facts, trends, or theories to  clarify issues (I'm biased, but I think these are some of the best resources here).

WYSK comes out (usually) weekly, while the other articles are more sporadic. In general, though, they come out monthly.

Curious about the name?
