This past Sunday I obtained my SANS GCIH certification. That brings me up to four, with two more left in queue (Linux+ and CISSP). I am proud of my 92/91 test scores for it, and plan on taking it Gold along with my GSEC sometime in the next year or so.

I’m presently working on some slides for a course that the command is going to send new personnel through. I will be teaching for a good couple of hours according to the current plan it appears, which is fine by me. I like teaching.

One interesting thing that popped into my mind a little earlier was regarding the knowledge that we all collectively have and share. It’s a little hard to put into words, but the basic premise is that regardless of our level of intelligence, or individual wisdom and experience, there are certain things that we all know, and strangely they are things that at the same time, we don’t know.

We are the masters of our mind and body, yet introspectively know little about how we actually tick. We know how to think and breathe, but we don’t really understand how these actions are actually performed from within ourselves. Obviously there are theories that cover this, like Freud’s Id, but it’s fun to think about being able to know and do things, and yet not at the same time.
