Time to Play Catch-Up

As followers of the Operation Highlander blog will already know, I've got quite a bit on my plate right now. That said, I'd like to start paying a bit more attention to this blog. Most of what I'm currently involved with on a daily basis doesn't apply directly to the major functional areas of risk management, but a lot of the news stories I follow for school or for my own situational awareness relate back to one functional area or another.

I've also found myself working on some cool projects in my spare time that can tie back into risk management. One of them was the Google Reader project I mentioned in my last post. Another has been manipulating the data in my GPS using Wikimapia, Easy GPS, and Windows Notepad. (I find that I rarely need anything more than a web browser, Notepad, and Microsoft Excel to complete most tasks.) The GPS work relates back to an article and slide deck I read a couple of years ago about honesty traces, which can be a great Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection technique.

Anyway, I've got a good backlog of links and topics for this blog, I've made an effort to get ahead on posts for the Operation Highlander blog, and I'm in good shape on my school and extracurricular projects, so I'll try to spend the next few weeks posting some content to this one. I hope everyone out there finds it helpful.
