Hey folks, we’ve got something a little different tonight.  Both Jason and Dustin are unavailable, so my friend Danny has agree’d to step up and stand in on tonight’s show.

Danny is one of the Hosts of Rally Security @rallysecurity, and works for Sqrrl @sqrrldata.  He also helped build InfoSanity @infosanityorg, a site/support group for folks in IT that might be going through some rough times, and need peers to help them through.
