About ownlife

The motivation behind this blog is to provide me a location to log my current thoughts about pretty much anything — from security to work to opinions about life. I would imagine that most of my postings will be about my (professional) interests in computer security: logs, infosec, and vulnerabilities.

Since the content may be of interest to others, I will try to keep everything as generalized and anonymous as possible and actively encourage any passersby to leave feedback.

As a bit of insight into the motivation behind this effort, I am a supporter of the EFF and overtly aware of the information-dominated society that we are becoming. Stories such as George Orwell’s 1984 and the Wachowski brothers’ V for Vendetta. For any of you not familiar with 1984, the blog’s title “ownlife” is from Orwellian Newspeak and means “Individualism and eccentricity. A desire to do something for your own benefit.”
