About

Hiya, I’m Robert Jamison. That’s my mom and I in the picture above. We both joined the Army National Guard about the same time in 2007, and ever since, I’ve been working full-time with laptops, radios, and satellite terminals. I created OnlyFacts as a place to record my personal discoveries while working in computer science and signals theory. I had been documenting my life via a written diary until one day I realized my life was already 100% online. By shifting to a blog-style diary, I hope to share my life lessons with other like-minded weirdos. Hopefully (as I put myself out there) I’ll inspire others to do the same.

Each day of the week, I post something different using a vignette:

Motivation Monday

Fascinating and mind-altering stories about important nobodies of history.

Twosday

Two different but similar concepts. A true free-for-all.

Wacky Wednesday

Something odd that happened during this week long ago.

Threat Thursday

Malicious cyber and signal actors of interest.

Fast-Fact Friday

A short and sweet truth.

Sojourner Saturday

A guest author writes because I’m only creative enough for six days a week.

Science Sunday

In-depth computer science concepts based on what I’m researching that week.

I also have some special vignettes: Writeups

A walkthrough of a tough cybersecurity or data science problem I tackled.

Although I dedicate most of my time to work, I still enjoy some of the small things in life. My list of hobbies is a lot smaller now, but here’s some of the activities I do on a yearly basis:

• Brewing honey wines, meads, and European coffee
• Hunting for real and fake wildlife
• Exploring the wilderness of foreign lands
• Cooking foods that I have no business eating
• Reading books about data analytics and signal theory
• Jogging for no more than two miles on a given day
• Testing First-person shooter video games
• Drawing birds outside my livingroom window
• Growing grass in my mudpit of a backyard
