Life

Crashed so hard last weekend after not taking enough of a break. Then mid-week got away and was so focused on having a life (vacation! yay!) I forgot I do this post every week.

Went to Croatia. Saw some beautiful lakes. Left stress behind. Was amazing.

Work

Getting through stuff before I left. Some things that have been a source of stress seem to be getting better so that is something. I don’t know if it is the break or if it is real but I feel optimistic and that is what matters!

We’re running our first ever Technically Speaking in person event in Denver in August.

I’m speaking at Leeds Tech Hub on July 9th.

Media

Watching the West Wing. Reading Just Fucking Ship.

Product Links Amazon.

A new edition of Technically Speaking is out.

I storified my tweets from the Museum of Broken Relationships.
