Between the rampaging llamas and a photo optical illusion the internet has been a silly, silly place the last 24 hours.
I have a little present for folks. I hinted there may be pictures from Kilt Day at M3AAWG in an earlier post.
There are, and all of the subjects have granted permission for me to share the photos here. Follow me below the cut.
A bunch of folks working so very hard to protect the internet against abuse, spam and malware.
I had planned to get some more information out from M3AAWG sessions last week, including the Gmail session and the ISP session. But, I am still catching up with other work.

M3AAWG awarded the second J.D. Falk award today in Montreal. The winner was Gary Warner from the University of Alabama.
Gary has been involved in fighting abuse and online crime since the 1990s. He developed the Center for Information Assurance and Joint Forensics Research at the University. This is an education program that not only teaches students about online threats and how to fight them, but collaborates with both industry experts and law enforcement.
You can check out Gary at his blog or on twitter.
