Given I have (for all intensive purposes) nothing to say and hardly any pictures (most of them were not-so-good), the delay is hard to explain.
Oh well....
Lousy economy or not, RSA is always a fun parade and the security community appeared to be out in full force. It was good to be a part of it (thank you Aimee Rhodes!!!), and even better to spend some time with people I don't get to see that often.
Along those lines, a few quick shout-outs:
Robin Lutchansky - I haven't laughed so much so early in the morning in years - thanks again for giving me my start in PR. Stay in touch and stay away from Feta cheese:-)
Alan Shimel - not sure if you recall our chat at the bloggers meet-up, but...it is most definitely on:-)!
Ziad Sarrieddine - it really has been that long, hasn't it...
Here are a few photos:
Randall Gamby - former Burton Analyst, current security architect at Mass Mutual, guest columnist for Information Security Magazine/Tech Target, and one of the few with enough patience to be my friend:-)
Tufin CEO Ruvi Kitov (Smiling as he should, Tufin is on the up and up...)
smoke break during the one rainy day of the week
Shaul Efraim of Tufin catching up with Mike Rothman of Securosis...it's hard not not crack a smile around Mike...
Alan Shimel and Rick Moy of NSS Labs
A very tanned Mark Kadrich of The Security Consortium...
Jennifer Jabbusch and Martin McKeay at the bloggers meetup...
Me and my old friend Ziad Sarieddine (of Cisco)...apparently all long and winding roads lead to RSA...
coolest show swag (imho) - mini-reading flashlight/laser from Black Box Security

Liz, of course I remember our conversation. Glad to hear things are green for go! Keep me posted. I think the picture of me here is with Rick Moy of NSS Labs BTW.
