This is based on a presentation I have at the Pikes Peak Writers Conference earlier this year. My co-presenter was Cindi Madsen, but these thoughts here are based off my notes and what I wanted to present.

My friend DeAnna was at my Practical Computer Security for Writers workshop, and she has written up a great set of articles about the presentation. Apparently, I dropped so much information during my few hours in front of some very great people that her editor has cut her report up into three different segments. Wow! ...
