Mykonos is the latest project that I have been working on, providing web design, search engine optimization, and blog theme development.

The Mykonos Secure Web Application Framework provides application teams with a full range of critical capabilities for coding, compiling, deploying, and maintaining the most secure Web applications.

For developers, these include a Web-based interface design suite, a large component library, and the widest range of security capabilities: input validation, XSS filtering, encryption, transport layer security, session management, authentication, logging, and code obfuscation.

For Administrators, a push service keeps production applications secure using Mykonos Managed Updates, a service that provides updates to the application layer, including security patches and new functionality.

The Mykonos Developer Kit is available today for free to developers, under a license that enables them to use Mykonos for application development and testing.

It could only be better if it was called “Pixelpunk IPA”. It’s a nice-and-hoppy classic Scottish IPA with a spiky, bitter finish (with a slight taste of tropical fruits). It has an ABV of 6% and produced by BrewDog Brewery in Fraserburgh, UK.

It’s on tap now at the Tap & Mallet on Gregory Street in Rochester, NY. Ask for Kim, she’s a pretty awesome bartender and a great sport for letting me snap the photo.
