For this month’s special “winter” edition podcast for Lotuspike, the founders put together a series of winter-inspired tracks, including some custom made experiments prepared for the season. Winter Trail Pt. 1 was my contribution. While it’s a bit unpolished, I am hoping to fix it up a bit more later, as well as develop Pt. 2.

Firm: Software Engineering Institute | CERT

I provided creative direction, assisted with writing, created all informational and diagrammatical support graphics and coordinated deployment of final video podcasts.

// Part 1 | Project
Part 1 covers the project team’s involvement in international standards bodies, their managed string and secure integer libraries, their collaborations with various government and commercial organizations, and other areas of work.

// Part 2 | Standards
Part 2 talks about the CERT secure coding standards, a collection of rules and recommendations for secure coding in C, C++, and other programming languages that is being developed through a community process.

// Part 3 | Training
Part 3 describes training in C and C++ secure coding practices that he and other members of the project are providing to software developers, undergraduate and graduate secure coding courses, and other training activities.

Little Talk is currently my most complete audio work, released only as part of the 2004 Lotuspike Label Demo. The label demo CD was part of our press kit distributed shortly after Lotuspike launched, and was a music sampler representative of the label’s vision. It has not been released on any other compilation as of yet, however it is in regular rotation on somaFM.com’s widely-distributed Groove Salad stream.
