What to do
You have read Schneier's article Inside the Twisted Mind of the Security Professional, where he gives some pretty hilarious examples of his own perspective. Your job is to practice seeing the world with this security mindset, and to share your insights and observations with the rest of us. For most observations, just a sentence or two will do the job.
We'll vote at midterm and at the end of the term for the best ideas. The winners will get an extra point, but more importantly, they'll get famous, since I'll announce the winning ideas at CS Tea.
Some of your ideas will be simple and unspectacular. Share them anyway. Some of your ideas will be devious, strange, or funny. Share those too!
