Taylor Swift online — from Bach to Infosec

[ by Charles Cameron — idle chit chat, I really shouldn’t ]

.

Since I recently provided evidence of Taylor Swift singing Bach‘s organ music the other day, I don’t think it’s too great a stretch to point out that she also posts on topics of interest to security geeks. Frankly, I’m a bit taken aback that Edward Snowden hasn’t been transparent about their relationship.

Here are some of her recent tweets:

If I'm not Taylor Swift, how come I'm the only person that knows I said this? It's not reported anywhere. pic.twitter.com/HQ02YuhUpF

We will be the first to go extinct not out of an inability to adapt, but out of an unwillingness to do so. pic.twitter.com/6HJkmxW7Az

Apocalyptic, see — you just can’t get away from it! I mean…

Some speak of an Armageddon; A time when humans will build machines they cannot understand or control. And I whisper, "We already have."

Come to think of it..

Why don't humans have a caffeine gland. We could have been to Mars in the 1400's.

That sounds good to me. Hey, and she’s self-deprecating, too:

I laugh at my tweets. That's how cool I am. Very cool.

Only Kim Kierkegaardashian is almost as clever —

Filling in the eyebrows with a pencil or powder helps eliminate the imperfection that pertains to everything human.

My trainer is literally killing me! But when a martyr dies, his rule begins.

— though not half as sweet to look upon.

Don’t I have anything better to do?

Yup, today’s the day we take son Emlyn back up to Oregon to continue his major in criminology. So I woke an hour early, and now I really should go.
