Here's a YouTube link to last nights (Monday, March 2, 2026) Glenmorangie tasting at Julio's Liquors, presented by David Blackmore. This was a once in a lifetime event, tasting all eight of the Bond House No.1, aka Grand Vintage Malt, collection. A fantastic time.

The Compass Box Whisky Confluence auction lot came with a few surprises. Aside from the bottle and display stand, it included another 50ml sample bottle, 16 informational cards, and six complete label sets - front and back, all signed by Angela D'Orazio

Do you still use your Gmail? Sent you something in the last week.
I will never understand people who will come into a restaurant just before closing time to be seated. I feel stressed if I show up an hour before closing. I was just finishing dinner in the steakhouse in my hotel, and two guys came in and were seated at 21:59 - they close at 22:00. *Boggles*

If these run out I have other accounts I can pull referrals from, but let's see if these get used up first.
I just picked up a new Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Anyone want a Google Store referral code? 10% off the purchase of a Google Pixel Phone. I'd start at the top and try a code until one works.

Absolutely a Decepticon.
Do I know anyone who lives in/near Houston or Austin, Texas?
Yes, this is a whiskey-related issue. ;-)
You can ignore the funny URL - but this is some good info for limiting how much Meta (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) tracks you.

The session recordings for VulnCon 2025 are now available on YouTube: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
There is a lot of good content there. If you want to see the program schedule, and session descriptions, see www.first.org/conference/v... Then you can find the matching recording to view.
I was so happy when this popped up for me. I didn't know they were making a sequel. I'm so in.

Want to try Oats Overnight? I've been eating them fairly regularly for a while as a tasty and easy breakfast - something I can grab on my way to my desk as I commute through the kitchen. ;-)
Anyway, if you've considered them, you can get $10 off with my referral code: oatsovernight.com/r/Z3Y2X0X
Not sure if euphemism or... ;-)
Interesting. It has been obvious for a while that the market has been slowing, and there was oversupply. We've seen some downward price pressure and up-aging on a few expressions, which indicates stocks were sitting in the barrels longer now.

SHAMELESS ADVERTISING PLUG:
In the US, the ebook of "A Conventional Boy" is on sale for $2.99 from now until the 5th of May! It's part of the Kobo Long Weekend Sale.
(This edition isn't available in the UK and EU—it's USA/Canada only.)

And that's not even the average home price in this town - that's a couple hundred grand higher. ;-) And we're rural, on the west side of I495. Prices go through the roof closer into Boston.

UK Friends! As some of you know, I collect whisky - and one in particular is Compass Box. They're doing a drawing of a special release, only open to residents of the UK. If you're willing to put your name in the drawing on my behalf I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'd guess you're on a seat, which is on a floor, which is part of an airframe, which is on landing gear, which is on pavement, which is on the ground. So you're only transitively on the ground. ;-)
I think that could be turned into an annoying song...
Hi Folks, more info about our federation here. www.thecvefoundation.org/frequently-a...
I tend to agree. I love the Wayback Machine, but I feel like Archive.org keeps using it as a hostage to support their more questionable 'fsck copyright' efforts. They blatantly violate copyright and then beg for help because it puts the whole archive in jeopardy if they get shut down. Stop it.
This comes after MITRE Vice President Yosry Barsoum warned on Tuesday that U.S. government funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) and Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) programs expires today.

![Press release from the CVE Foundation:
CVE Foundation Launched to Secure the Future of the CVE Program
[Bremerton, Washington] – The CVE Foundation has been formally established to ensure the long-term viability, stability, and independence of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program, a critical pillar of the global cybersecurity infrastructure for 25 years.
Since its inception, the CVE Program has operated as a U.S. government-funded initiative, with oversight and management provided under contract. While this structure has supported the program’s growth, it has also raised longstanding concerns among members of the CVE Board about the sustainability and neutrality of a globally relied-upon resource being tied to a single government sponsor.
This concern has become urgent following an April 15, 2025 letter from MITRE notifying the CVE Board that the U.S. government does not intend to renew its contract for managing the program. While we had hoped this day would not come, we have been preparing for this possibility.
In response, a coalition of longtime, active CVE Board members have spent the past year developing a strategy to transition CVE to a dedicated, non-profit foundation. The new CVE Foundation will focus solely on continuing the mission of delivering high-quality vulnerability identification and maintaining the integrity and availability of CVE data for defenders worldwide.
“CVE, as a cornerstone of the global cybersecurity ecosystem, is too important to be vulnerable itself,” said Kent Landfield, an officer of the Foundation. “Cybersecurity professionals around the globe rely on CVE identifiers and data as part of their daily work—from security tools and advisories to threat intelligence and response. Without CVE, defenders are at a massive disadvantage against global cyber threats.”
The formation of the CVE Foundation marks a major step toward eliminating a single point of failure in the vulnerability management ecosystem and ensuring…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xjkqe2uyxc2tpimt3b2vyqhg/bafkreihltvjroekt6vveygg4rqdn5e6worxwdpvjiqq2sycealimufqlqa)
