  • I once was taking a nice old man to the hospital, when he stopped breathing. I gave him a second and tried to rouse him, and he was pretty stubborn about it, but he still had a weak pulse. I called to my partner.

    “Hey, how close are we to the hospital?” “About 5 minutes, why?” “Well, he’s not breathing. So if you hit any traffic, hit the lights, will you?”

    I bagged him for about 3-4 minutes. Traffic was light, and we were making pretty good time, so we decided not to freak anybody out. The guy came to, and looked confused.

    “What happened,” he asked. “You stopped breathing, so I was breathing for you.” “Oh. Thank you.” “You are very welcome.”

    He’s still the only person who ever said thank you when I tried to save their life.

You could stop 50% of malware by changing the name of your windows directory. Security through obscurity was believed to work, every automated oil rig in the gulf was operating in the clear even into the 2000’s.

    Wild times.
