Welcome!

Hi, I'm Gary and welcome to my new blog: The Nasty Curve.

My somewhat indirect focus on this blog is on security topics related to information systems and technology. However, even though this pertains to my chosen profession (barely 5 years...I'm hardly geek enough to profess any expertise), this is my launch point for the choices we make in society. 

Decisions: Things we do to perform a function. Do we spend more time and money to get the job done or do we try to save a few bucks along the way.

Options: Do we trust a vendor that has been vetted by your Enterprise, or do you start shopping around, maybe check out an Expo, grab some swag and get carried away by a excitable representative with an enticing accent espousing the great advances of his tech firm.

Simple enough, right? Maybe, maybe not. I'm going to talk about music, movies, sports, wrestling, politics, songwriting as well as techie stuff because those are the things I am also passionate about.

Passion: that's another thing altogether. Computers were not my passion growing up. I have only been lucky enough to make it my career for the last few years. This blog is contributing to my CE credits to maintain my IT certifications, but it is mainly to serve as a testament to WHAT I DO. If you looked at my resume, say if you were a non-technical person you'd have no idea. I've had different roles, and I don't necessarily specialize in any. I bring an artists' point of view to the decision making process of addressing security issues for The Enterprise. Not the Star Trek ship. You know what I mean.

Dig it yet? I'll have some more interesting stuff to come, and hopefully it will be worth jumping over from Facebook to dig through, 'cause I'll be linking all right. You betcha.
Now, this 45 year old ex-New Yorker must help his wife deal with some stuff and junk and crap and sh#t so our dinner guests will be entertained.
