a haiku
“Nice encryption there…
except we’ll need a back door.”
“What encryption? Where?”
(Inspired by Apple’s decision to pull its iCloud end-to-end encryption feature from the UK rather than install a back door. Reference: https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/21/apple-pulls-icloud-end-to-end-encryption-feature-for-uk-users-after-government-demanded-backdoor/)

A poem
They say that anonymity
Can spare you ignonimity
But a second’s contemplation shows
They haven’t thought it through.
.
.
While the whole world’s unaware
Of whose soul has been laid bare
The response—or lack thereof—received
Is wholly known to you.

I hope this message finds you all well, enjoying your holidays with family and friends. In my house, we did the “gingerbread house smackdown” which has become a tradition (five years in a row now), and my contest entry was a gingerbread house that imitated life–my life in 2024 to be exact.
As you can see, one roof panel broke as I was building the house, and so required a “fusion”. You may have read earlier posts, including the most recent, in which I mention the cervical fusion I unfortunately had to undergo in July. The blue candies were the best I could do for titanium:
The second roof panel I decided to have some fun with, given the good turn that life took after the surgery: I was fortunate enough to be able to co-author an amicus brief in a geofence warrant case with a Senior Attorney from The Pacific Legal Foundation. Moreover, I will be joining PLF in late January as a Litigation Fellow! You heard it here first!
As always, thanks for reading. I hope you have a restorative week or so before the excitement of the New Year is upon us!
