Country Tides: Out Now
She swore she would never love again, but that one knock changed everything. Life is a normal routine for Jane Allman. She wakes up, feeds her animals, tends to her garden, and from time to time, she calls her sister. She isn’t a crazy partier, and she has no need for a relationship. She is happy being on her own. Nevertheless, things change when businesses are brought into her small community and she finds one of the owners, Hadley Grace, at her door asking for a favor. Jane is absolutely […]https://higginbothampublications.wordpress.com/2026/05/25/country-tides-out-now/

Cybersecurity programs often fail not because they’re technically unsound, but because they’re emotionally misaligned with the people they aim to protect. Too many leaders focus on technical solutions while neglecting the human systems that operate and interact with those tools. If...

Cognitive overload is a silent threat. It affects attention span, memory recall, decision-making, and task execution. When people are juggling too much information, when their workflows are fragmented, or when alerts are constant and overwhelming, they make mistakes. Not because they’re...

When Protecting Everyone Leaves No One to Protect You Security leadership isn’t just about firewalls and frameworks — it’s about carrying the invisible weight of protecting an entire organization. But what happens when the one who carries that weight begins to crack under pressure, alone?...

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are the nerve centers of modern cybersecurity — 24/7 hubs filled with dashboards, alerts, logs, and escalation workflows. But at the heart of every SOC isn’t just a system — it’s a human. A security analyst juggling alerts, parsing logs, navigating...

In cybersecurity, there’s a recurring narrative that users are the weakest link. Click the wrong link, use the wrong password, fall for the wrong message — and suddenly, it’s a breach. The implication? If people would just stop making mistakes, we’d be secure. But what if the problem...

The shift to hybrid work brought promises of freedom, autonomy, and flexibility. On paper, it looked like the future of work had finally arrived. But in practice, it blurred the boundaries between work and personal life so completely that many people no longer know where one ends and the...

Proactive culture is the real preparation. Building a proactive security culture means embedding readiness into everyday operations. It’s not just about preparing for the “what ifs” — it’s about creating an environment where users, teams, and leaders are already aligned before a breach...

Most security teams treat shadow IT — unauthorized tools, services, or workarounds — as a technical risk. And they’re not wrong. Unvetted apps can create vulnerabilities, expose sensitive data, break compliance, and fracture visibility. But underneath the risk lies a more nuanced reality:...

When Too Many Choices Undermine Cybersecurity Modern security culture champions autonomy — let users choose their tools, tailor their workflows, and pick the authentication methods that suit them. On paper, this sounds empowering. In practice, it can be overwhelming. This post explores...

There’s a gap between what we think keeps us safe and what actually does. In cybersecurity, that gap is often filled by performative gestures, check-the-box policies, and flashy tools that offer comfort — but little protection. This is the illusion of security. And the more we rely on it,...

Security threats don’t always come from hackers or malware. Sometimes, they come from ambiguity. Unclear, outdated, or poorly communicated policies can quietly create confusion, delay decisions, and increase human error. This post explores the concept of the phantom threat — how vague...

Cybersecurity isn’t just about malware anymore. It’s not just about bad actors, zero-days, or leaked credentials. It’s about power. Control. Trust. And whether the systems we build to protect us are actually holding up — or slowly breaking down under the weight of their own complexity....

Cybersecurity has long carried a cultural archetype: the lone genius. The hoodie-wearing prodigy, the late-night coder who solves breaches in a single bound, the elite hacker who knows what no one else does. But this myth, while cinematic, is not only inaccurate — it’s harmful. This post...

Here is a lengthy piece about the latest #enshittification of the #Amazon #Kindle. I've seen articles and YouTube videos speculating about the reason for the removal of the #download option. Most of the reasons just didn't track for me. So I did some digging, and I think I found the real reason for the change. (As always it comes down to money...but not in the way you might think.)
I also wanted to talk (possibly a bit too much) about what this all has meant for me. You might find some of that discussion interesting. There is still plenty more to say, so I will probably write another article about the things that I didn't cover in this article.
Please give the article a #read, and let me know your thoughts on the Amazon Kindle situation, or the situation with #eReaders in general.

Mayor of Blackledge Vows to Rebuild Homeless Shelter Bigger and Better
Blackledge, June 18, 2018 - After the Blackledge Outreach Center for the Impoverished and Homeless was destroyed due to an alleged gas leak, Mayor Verlice has taken steps to allocate a significant amount of the city's funds to rebuild the shelter. "We want Blackledge to be a bastion for the downtrodden - a place that they can feel safe and, hopefully, get back on their feet," said Mayor Bernard Verlice. According to Verlice, reestablishing their homeless shelter is paramount, as the city takes its philanthropic endeavors seriously. The new outreach center is estimated to be completed by September this year.
