There goes the budget for FY09. It only amounted to a 20-minute party. It was still a fun fiesta while it lasted (especial mix por mi amiga de Fish).

I just completed my first mix using Ableton.  It came out aiight. I still need more mp3’s and I don’t see me encoding my records collection anytime soon. Let me know if you like. Don’t read too much into the name. I had just finished watching The Weather Underground. Great documentary.

I made this flyer a few years ago to support a security awareness initiative within the Department of the Interior (DOI) and posted them around the building…just for fun. Download and update for a quick security awareness flyer.

It is important for a certification and accreditation (C&A) manager to be well acquainted with the internal contracting and acquisitions process within their organization. This is because a C&A manager is constantly required to bring in contractors to perform the third-party reviews required for Moderate and High security categorized information systems.

This acquisition process should always begin with a well-developed Statement of Work (SOW). The SOW is crucial to ensure that you’re provided a quality level of service from your contractors. This sample SOW is available for download and contains all the requirements necessary to keep your contractors honest.

PS. Become good friends with your contracting office. They will make or break your deadlines. Random gifts work.
