chatting with Barbie
well that was an enjoyable afternoon learning about all the gaping security flaws we are ignoring in the rush to get everything “connected”. hats off to Bill Buchanan and team for an entertaining display of gadgets, ideas and the very obvious risks associated. @TheCyberAcademy

off to get some education during this season of consumption.

didn’t manage to finish the hat though 😦
pigs might fly
i did some drawing at the Scottish Design Exchange again this afternoon, solo this time as everyone was nursing hangovers it seems. also sold a piece which is always nice 🙂
