About Not Quite Random

Welcome to NotQuiteRandom.com, my little slice of the Internet where thoughts, opinions, and experiments collide—sometimes elegantly, sometimes not. I’m Brent Huston—a technologist, thinker, and tinkerer who’s been working in cybersecurity for more than three decades. This site is where I share my personal musings, technical rants, life experiments, and the occasional dive into chaos and complexity theory, AI, and other geeky pursuits.

This blog is unapologetically personal. It reflects my own views, ideas, and opinions—and absolutely does notrepresent the positions or stances of MicroSolved, Inc., my clients, or any of my business partners. What you read here is mine and mine alone. I write it for me, and if it resonates with you—awesome. If not, that’s OK too.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Deep dives into technology and cybersecurity, especially the human elements behind them.
  • Explorations of complex systems, randomness, and why things break the way they do.
  • Personal reflections, experimental thinking, and lessons learned from real-world work and life.
  • The occasional off-topic post about things like martial arts, photography, hiking, or meditation—because life isn’t just bits and bytes.

This isn’t a corporate blog. It’s not sanitized. It’s not run through a PR filter. It’s just me, tapping out thoughts, often late at night, when the world is quiet enough to think.

Disclaimers and Risk Notice

Use at your own risk. Seriously. While I aim to be accurate and insightful, nothing on this site should be taken as professional advice, legal guidance, or a guaranteed path to success. If you decide to implement or act on anything discussed here, you do so entirely at your own risk. Technology is complex, security is tricky, and your context may vary wildly from mine.

I make no guarantees of accuracy, completeness, or even coherence on any given day. And while I do my best not to break anything—I’m not responsible for what happens if you break something using information found here.
