My mom in 1941. My grandfather probably had her pose in front of this brand new car, because they didn’t have a car until after WW2 ended. This photo was taken near her home in Woodside, Queens NYC, not long before the USA joined WW2.

My uncle was an old school hacker, rockstar programmer, and an all around amazing guy. He was the reason I got into Cybersecurity and a huge inspiration to me. He passed away recently so I just wanted to share this photo of his awesome setup from the early 80s.
