Yesterday I published a blog piece “On IO Blogs”, here. But I messed up and forgot two very, very good blogs. I woke up at 3 am and just had to write this update.
Healthy Influence Blog or Persuasion Blog. This excellent blog deals with the science of persuasion, written by Dr. Steven Booth-Butterfield. Steve’s blog really gets into the breadth and depth of persuasion, his blog pieces are intricately accurate and one can almost write a master’s thesis about the subject if you would read all his blogs, I believe. Steve is a really nice guy and absolutely brilliant. He literally wrote the book on persuasion.
Selil. Dr. Sam Liles almost defies description, but, simply put, his blog is an excellent must-read for anything cyber. Sam is also an endurance motorcycle rider, like me, so I happily read his occasional article about his motorcycle and currently his Iron Butt Rally preparation. This past February, when there was snow on the ground, Sam rode his bike from Perdue University in Indiana to Washington DC to participate in a seminar on cyber. Sam is also a former police officer aka cop, he’s also a really nice guy and absolutely brilliant. Sam also has this unique ability to see through the bullcrap being thrown around Washington when it comes to cyber, both offensive and defensively and somehow manages to keep me straight. But, be prepared, he tells the truth. If I’m wrong about something, and that’s more often than not, he’ll tell me.
Please, if there are any other blogs out there related to IO, tell me? I don’t want to overlook anyone and I especially don’t want to hurt any feelings.
