Hello. I’m Chad Calease and I make the stuff on this site, initially built as a connection to family and friends while I was living and working in far-flung places, before social media. This site is only an exercise and continues to evolve, hopefully into a useful trail that helps someone find their way back to whatever they were trying to do before getting tangled in the ‘Net.

Here are some frequented guides/posts:

• VR, AR, + MR: Designing the New Reality Experience – Future’s more user-friendly
• Mice as Malware – Steps to take after getting hacked
• “Smart TVs” Are Watching Us? – Yep and here’s how to stop that
• Logical Diagrams Improve Everything – For real they do
• Defense-in-Depth: DNAT – Cybersecurity is dead – long live resilience
• Level Up: Data Classification – How information is valued
• DIY vs. DIT – Tired: DIY; Wired: DIT
• Memorialize Deceased Online Accounts – Everything in one place
• The Definitive Guide to DMARC – Defense-in-Depth for inboxes
• Battle of the Bands: CI Pipelines – Spoiler: Ansible wins
• Idea Machine – 4yo inspires napkin drawings 4 years straight

Here’s some random stuff:

• Video /reel (still a film/video nerd)
• Meandering professional /arc (needs an update)
• Some /talks
• Superb and unsolicited /praise from a great mentor (redirects to a Dropbox)
• Some /stills (now redirects to Flickr)

Hope you’re staying positive and testing negative.
