Amit was a friend and mentor to me. He helped us build IronKey as a member of our board of directors. My heartfelt condolences go out to the Yoran family and to his colleagues and friends.

Dear Kamala, Gas prices (inflation): you need to tell middle America how you will get gas prices at the pump back down to $2. Drill more, sell US oil only domestically, relax sanctions, more engagement with OPEC, whatever your team figures out. However it's done, you need some simple plan or commitment to getting those prices down, and communicate that on Joe Rogan or other Trump-friendly media. We all got the fascist message. Spend the next week telling middle America what they want to hear, and have a plan to deliver it.

Dear Kamala, You have just over a week to give a clear policy. Border control: deploy thousands of US-made intelligent drones, coupled with US-made AI, facial recognition and US DHS remote operators and Jeeps on the ground to patrol the border. Much better than a wall: faster to deploy, cheaper, far more effective, more US jobs.

Riding and watching 37th America's Cup sailboat racing.

Amazing last lap of the #WorldWCR women's world championship motorcycle race at Misano, Italy today. Great racing on the R7s. So interesting to see Sara Sanchez in the battle with Maria and Ana. Beatriz was great too. What battles. Interesting to compare the lines and agro.

Today in the Pecos mountains of northern Spain. I can't bear the views.

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Steve Albini. He was iconic in Big Black, and he went on to produce some of my favorite bands including The Wedding Present, Pixies, The Breeders, Nirvana. daily.bandcamp.com/lists/the…

Example: Limit Mugello to 200mph. Makes corner exits very crucial. And more braking maneuvers. And passing. What do you think?

MotoGP regulations for 2027. What if instead of 850cc, you put an electronic speed limiter on the bikes, which can be varied by track, depending on runoff? No engine development needed, preserves 1000cc. Relevant vs WSBK. Emphasizes cornering, braking, acceleration.

May 3 is the anniversary of the first spam message. Sent 46 years ago on ARPANET by Gary Thuerk of DEC to advertise a new computer. Now 60+% of email is spam, phishing and ransomware. #apwg

At #SpanishGP I was at turn 13 service road for #Moto2. There were 10 crashes there. It was a wet patch about 2 meters out from the apex. Riders getting passed lost it on the gas there, sometimes the front. Dorna tried drying it with leaf blowers before @MotoGP race.

Many thanks to @Meta, Robert Flaim, @Dianaburley, @AmericanU and all our government agency, banking and media partners who participated in the Phishing Symposium in Washington DC. We all learned a lot and there is much to be done. @APWG
