Security Engineer by day, maker by night, husband every day. I dabble in LEDs and 3D Printing when I have "free time". I work for #Mapbox but my thoughts and opinions are my own.

Despite the fog, the mountain 🏔️ is out today!

#mtranier #seattle
An aerial, high-angle view of the Seattle skyline on a sunny morning, with a thick layer of white fog rolling through the city streets. In the center, the historic Smith Tower rises above the mist, while the Dexter Horton Building is visible in the foreground. A bright sun with a prominent lens flare shines from the upper left, casting a warm glow over the scene. In the far distance, the snow-capped peak of Mount Rainier sits clearly above the horizon under a crisp blue sky.

Thanks for the #memories @defcon.bsky.social!!

#DEFCON33 #DC33 #SneakyBadge # irateSoftware
An overhead shot of a custom electronic badge with glowing green letter tiles spelling out "GOODBYE DEF CON" across the top and bottom. In the center, a small screen also displays "GOODBYE DEF CON". To the left, another smaller badge shows "irate Software" and a red digital readout of "46.6" with "Ego Meter" and "Ban Counter" labels. Various electronic components and circuit board traces are visible, along with a metallic, multi-layered "HUMAN" DEF CON badge on the right.

Getting to meet @thedarktangent.bsky.social in person was definitely a highlight of #DEFCON33!

Thank you for being nice enough to take a quick selfie with me!

Can't wait for the #RoadToDEFCON34
A selfie shows two smiling men at what appears to be a conference. The man on the left has a beard, wears glasses, and a gray t-shirt with an orange design. He has several lanyards around his neck. The man on the right also wears glasses and a black t-shirt with a green and black graphic design. He has a red "GOON" badge hanging from a black lanyard around his neck. Both men are looking at the camera. The background is slightly blurred but suggests a large indoor space with other people.

If anyone happens to find this Keyport knife and flashlight combo, that also has an attached black paracord with a black DC32 bead, I would really love to get it back! If you turn it into the @keyport.me booth in the #DEFCON vendor area, there will be a #reward in store!

Show of hands! How many people have had to do a hack like this to keep their mini fridge working right? #toodamnhot #vegas
The door to a cabinet the mini fridge is stored in, using a bag shoved in the corner to keep it from closing all the way.
