Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope you have something fun and exciting planned for the coming holiday and have some time off. The team here at Cyber-Recon is busily getting ready for a 2025 relaunch (get ready for that; more information will be posted soon). Of course, I am ready for some great food, another cool parade, and some football. My picks are Lions over the Bills, Giants over Dallas, and Green Bay over The Dolphins - what do you think? I would love to hear from you! ~Jim

It has been a while since I have posted. I was checking the page tonight to make sure that I did not miss replying to a comment and sow the community had grown to 1,337 an important number in the technical community as it represents the word "LEET" (elite) in "leet speak". I look forward to being part of growing a community that has one goal, to help each other out! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

Hi Cyber-Crew! We are doing some moving and rebuilding of the Cyber-Recon Studio space. Phase 1 should be done by Thursday. Unfortunately this means we will not be back live until Thursday morning. BUT Thursday we will show you what we have been up to and what the plans are for the rest of the year. We look forward to getting back online and talking with you all! I hope to see you Thursday morning for cyber news and more on Cup of Cyber!
