That was the first #F1 race I went to watch with other people at the Celtic here in Denver, and what a race to choose. Worth the 8am start.

Overwhelmed by randomness of my toots? Protip: you don't need to follow me/people, you can just follow hashtags for interaction. I use several, like:
#InfoSec #Privacy #Venice #Food #Art #F1 #Caturday (yup) & #LazyPip #Education #Security #Photography #Motorbike & #Ducati #theNetherlands #PhotoChallenge

I can see that Monaco is getting ready for the Grand Prix

Todas as pinturas dos carros da F1 deste ano foram finalmente reveladas. E aí, qual você curtiu mais? #F1

My previous intro post was a few years old, so behold, new intro post:

Mike. Live in the Seattle area having grown up in the UK as a full blown British. Have a wife (incredible), child (boy), and three dogs (golden retriver/cream retriver/fuck knows).

I work in information security, something I have done for about 20 years. By day I run corporate security, enterprise IT and various other bits and pieces for an EV charging startup. I am big into EV's and currently drive one that is not a Tesla. I want an electric motorbike, so if anyone has a spare one please send it.

I also have a company of my own, Secure Being (https://securebeing.com), which does pen testing and digital forensic work - it's my way of staying super hands on while still doing the management bits on the career path.

I have written books about information security things. Five of them. Two are non-fiction textbooks, and three are fiction based on real world #infosec things. Check out https://infosecdiaries.com and your local bookstore to find them, just search for my name. I have been trying to write more stuff, but always seem to find myself distracted by other things, such as work. linktr.ee/secureowl has some mini stories I've written.

I love radio and everything RF. I have lots of antennas and various scanners and radios on my desk. I love intercepting and decoding things, like digital radio protocols.

I am a big aviation nerd. I always wanted to be a commercial pilot. I gained my private pilots license in the UK at 17, all self funded by my employment at the local Safeway/Morrisons store. I did the sim test and commercial assessments, but for some reason, at 18, I was unable to find the £100k needed to complete the commercial training, so I did computers. But do not worry, because those computers and love of aviation and radio/RF combined, and I run a project called ACARS Drama. https://acarsdrama.com has all the details.

I play guitar and am a big guitar/audio nerd as well. I record music under the moniker Operation: Anxiety, https://operationanxiety.com - the music is on all the normal places.

Finally, I am a massive fan of motorsport. I believe I have watched every F1 race for the last 30 years, maybe 25. I also follow F2, FE, Indycar and MotoGP closely. I average around 18 hours of Le Mans 24 hour racing watching per year.

So there you have it. If you are looking for a thought leader on the topics mentioned above, you've come to the wrong place - because this is where I shitpost, and shitposting is cheap therapy.

#F1

Stefano Domenicali says that #F1 fans aren't interested in car telemetry. What a load of crap. He's making excuses for removing telemetry from broadcasts because it would show just how energy starved the cars are with these new regulations.

I'm sitting here watching the IndyCar 2026 Marathon stream and happily seeing all the car telemetry being shown when we get in-car shots.

F1 is really trying to push actual motorsport fans away and catering to celebrities instead. When it comes to open wheel, IndyCar is more exciting. And the new IndyCar IR-28 looks fantastic compared to current Formula 1 cars.

Thoughts?

I've had the 2026 IndyCar Full Race Marathon streaming on and off just to have some motorsport on.

I'm watching the podium for the IndyCar 250-lap race at the Phoenix Raceway and they have a cowboy serving what looks like delicious beef brisket to the drivers on the podium while they are receiving their trophies. Malukas couldn't chew fast enough and spent most of the podium chewing on his piece of brisket. This is awesome and just enough fun that it put a smile on my face.

Formula 1 should introduce some fun things like this for their podiums.
