I Graduated From College In 1980.

I Have A Lot Of Anxiety About Medical Things For Example. I Don't Think I'm Particularly Good At It, But I'd Had The Practice When I Went Into Shooting Synecdoche. It Can Be Somewhat Gratifying, Too, Because I Don't Have That Relationship With Other Adults Where I Need To Comfort Them Or They Come To Me For That.

Story Ideas, But It's Also Musing On Stuff That I'm Thinking About. This Leads Me To This And This Leads Me To This. They're Kind Of Random And Haphazard. Often I Can't Find Anything. Somehow, By Doing That, Even Though I Don't Necessarily Refer To Them In A Specific Way, I Have Some Sort Of Architecture In My Head.

The World Needs You. It Doesn't Need You At A Party Having Read A Book About How To Appear Smart At Parties - These Books Exist, And They're Tempting - But Resist Falling Into That Trap. The World Needs You At The Party Starting Real Conversations, Saying, 'i Don't Know,' And Being Kind.

Seriously, I Don't Consider Myself A Writer. I Don't Think I Have Writing Talent. But I Will Continue To Do It.

Humans Are Incapable Of Securely Storing High-quality Cryptographic Keys, And They Have Unacceptable Speed And Accuracy When Performing Cryptographic Operations. (they Are Also Large, Expensive To Maintain, Difficult To Manage, And They Pollute The Environment. It Is Astonishing That These Devices Continue To Be Manufactured And Deployed. But They Are Sufficiently Pervasive That We Must Design Our Protocols Around Their Limitations.)
