April 27, 2026 I attended the European Digital Forensics Conference at the end of March in Sweden. And in addition to taking some notes on the talks, I made a few quick drawings. One talk mentioned how, similar to how software and VMs and network infrastructure can be purchased with all the details taken care of, organized crime allows things like breaking into machines and using them or obtaining stolen credentials to be purchased as an item, referring to it as Crime as a Service. It conjured an image of the top drawing. The second was simply me trying to do a quick sketch of someone giving a talk (it's not a great drawing). The third was a talk that someone gave, and I'm not really sure what his point was. It might have been more of a commercial pitch for his company. He kept talking about Sovereign AI, but he never said what it was. So I drew what I imagined it to be—wearing a crown and ermine rob, holding a scepter, and looking like a robot from Bob the Angry Flower with two treads for moving and a claw for a hand. I think it did look like the guy and his hand is decent. Here's the big version of the picture. |

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random
sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes
just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly
scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also
am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated
it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of
people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title
provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind
if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search
engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.
Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox
properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't.
I don't care.
