Last night I was the guest of Corwin Toyota of Bellevue and the 2026 Jet awards. A special thanks to Jim Duffek for inviting me. I shared the evening with some of Nebraska sports royalty. Jordan Larson, Mike Rozier, Eric Crouch, Senator Pete Ricketts, Damon Benning, Johnny Rodgers, Matt Davidson, and my favorite Billy "White Shoes" Johnson. Congrats to the Jet award repeat winner Kaden Wetjen. He is a serious class act.

🚀 The Little Spacecraft That Never Gave Up 🌌 Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 remains one of humanity’s greatest engineering triumphs — still exploring deep space nearly 50 years later. Now drifting more than 15 billion miles from Earth, this legendary probe continues to send back faint whispers from the edge of interstellar space, powered by technology from another era. With just 69 kilobytes of memory, an 8-track tape recorder, and software written in Fortran, Voyager 1 was only meant to last five years — enough to study Jupiter and Saturn. But it kept going, crossing the edge of our solar system and entering interstellar space in 2012. Each signal takes 22 hours to reach Earth, yet it still arrives — a fragile, persistent heartbeat of human curiosity. Every byte it sends teaches us about the space between stars, a place no other spacecraft has reached. Voyager 1 isn’t just a machine — it’s a symbol of endurance, hope, and human wonder. A reminder that even the smallest creation of human hands can journey forever into the unknown. #Voyager1 #NASA #DeepSpace #SpaceExploration #Science #Astronomy #EngineeringMarvel #Cosmos #Interstellar #HumanAchievement #fblifestyle

Virus attacks happen more than you would ever expect. Sometimes they’re successful and when they are time is your greatest enemy. Midwest Cloud Computing (‘MCC’) has many success stories where we have defended a company against an attacker.

It was a Tuesday, and we were meeting with a new prospective Managed Service Provider customer. This company ABC classic cars (‘ABC”) sold classic auto parts and was very large. The company was looking for management of their 150 desktops, their in-house servers and storage, and their network. We also had an opportunity to replace their phone system within the first year. A good opportunity.

It was Friday of that same week when I was called at 3am. that morning. The CIO of ABC was on the phone and was panicked. We’ll call him Bob. He had been notified by an attacker that ransomware had been dropped on his system. He was informed that they would be in touch at a later point. Oddly enough, we did not have anything of an agreement between our two companies, however that was seriously the least of my worries. What did add to the logistical challenge was that they were located in DesMoines IA. Again, “time is your enemy”. I put a team together and started the 1-hour trek to the customer HQ.

We’re onsite and Bob meets us at the door. We get the quick tour of his infrastructure. After a quick triage, I told Bob that he was not to respond to the Bad Actors. I let him know that once he communicated with them, “the shutdown clock started ticking”. We had a good 24hours before bad things would start happening. I handed Bob a very simple quote sheet, and we started recovering. To fast forward, we determine how the bad actors delivered the payload. An employee in their Accounting Department was surfing where they shouldn’t have gone. We identified the impacted platform and removed the malware.

We left several follow-up tasks with Bob. An important task was to license a product called Knowbe4. This is employee training on what happens when employees unknowingly do dangerous things. We also installed several “first alert” monitoring tools amongst other things. We now have a happy new customer.

To be considered for your organization. Do you a breach plan? What will you do if bad actors shut you out of your system? Is the gist of it, “call my MSP Provider”? Does your MSP provider know that you’re first call. Get ahead of the game and walk through what I call “breach planning”

Midwest Cloud Computing can help you with this. We’ve done it many times for our MSP customer and just everyday organization. If you find yourself or your company on the wrong side of a breach, give us a call. We’re fast, we’re experienced, and we’re affordable. You don’t have to go it alone.
