I read this a few weeks ago. It's fabulous writing, isn't it?

This is Fight Club, but with art and love instead of testosterone and violence.

I love that most of the best non-security-related stuff I see comes from the infosec people I watch.

This is a great example of that. Thanks.

I literally burst into tears, multiple times. The emotional arc was astonishing.

That was one of the more moving things I've read in a bit. Seems that whole 'making community' theme that's been going around for a little while can actually be pretty damn good.

I definitely wish I had a friend that would offer "book or body buried?" When i needed something.

Thanks for sharing.

Written from the heart. This makes you scream.
