  • A hearty welcome back to Standard Time for all of my fellow time travelers out there!

  • Better yet, start a self-hosted WordPress blog, install and activate the ActivityPub plugin, and completely control your content and never have to worry about a platform blocking your ability to communicate with your hard-earned audience ever again.

  • Anyone else a little weirded out by the M&M commercials where the M&M characters are eating M&Ms and other candy?

    Bunch of cannibals!

  • Had a chance to watch Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost this afternoon, and it was really fantastic. Highly recommended!

  • Today’s AWS outage has me thinking more about redundancy for our public cloud-based offerings. Is it enough to set up failover infrastructure with the same host in a different region? Should we be considering using a different cloud provider in a different region for our replication and disaster recovery environments?

    I have no doubt that other product and development managers are asking themselves the same questions today. Definitely lots to think about.

  • Considering the weather, the No Kings turnout in St. Louis was incredible! The rain did mess up my Resistance theme because I could not show off my May the 4th Estate Be with You shirt.

    Let’s double the number of marchers at the next No Kings event!

  • The American Association of School Librarians national conference just so happened to be in St. Louis this week so it is needless to say that this librarian and her sign were very popular at the No Kings march.

  • The Saint Louis area really showed up and showed out for multiple No Kings events yesterday. Look at the size of the crowd downtown, and this was during a thunderstorm and steady rain throughout the march!

  • There’s nothing quite like the sound of a garbage truck rolling down your street to get your blood pumping and your body moving especially when you know your garbage can isn’t on the curb yet.
