I hope you don’t mind, but I noticed you are pretty much a personal aggregator of security blogs and wanted to point you to another one. I have a security, privacy and personal liberty blog over at http://www.immutablesecurity.com. It’s non-commercial and personal. Take it or leave it. Thanks.
P.S. I couldn’t find a personal e-mail address to send this to which is why I am posting through this form.
Hi Michael,
Yup, that’s what I do. Soak it all in and then try to point a few posts most days that I think are interesting and that other folks might enjoy.
This format is perfectly acceptable for communicating with me and I am always looking for new sources of information to monitor for my Interesting Bits posts.
Your blog is now among the several hundred others that I monitor. Thanks for the heads up!
My email address is on the about page, but it isn’t very obvious. I will get that fixed.
