Welcome!
I finally have gotten around to creating an infosec blog on my site 
My love for computing started at the age of 8 with the purchase of my very first computer, an Apple IIc. I taught myself how to write programs in Applesoft basic and from there I was hooked. Over the years I continued to learn more and more about both computer software and hardware. I entered the IT industry in 1995 while a junior in high school. This was my first real experience to networking and C++ code outside the scope of my home network in my parent’s basement.
My background in information security goes back to the late 90′s professionally though it has always been a hobby of mine on some level since I learned how to setup and run my first BBS (WWiV)… and then how to reinstall and patch the code myself once someone else found my BBS and gained access to it,lol. I still think to this day my mom thinks I was selling drugs out of her basement because “why does a 15 year old need more than one phone line?”.
My learning continued through high school (1993 or so) when I set up my first [slackware] linux distro. The joy I had when I finally realized what that silly $ sign was for, and how superior it was to that C:\ sign I had been using for all those many years 
I created this blog mainly to share security related stories, rants, and just provide a general discussion area for current events relating to us, information security professionals. This will be geared more for the tie wearing white hats like myself. You won’t find any “how to haxor windows in 20 seconds” articles on here or serial numbers. Google can help you find plenty of those. Feel free to check out the RSS feed to read my current posts or email me at kevin [at] kevinblanchard [dot] com for story and post ideas. Enjoy!
