NEWS: Eleanor Holmes Norton says she won't run for re-election, ending three decades as D.C.'s non-voting delegate to the House.
"The privilege of public service is inseparable from the responsibility to recognize when it's time to lift up the next generation of leaders," she says.

Good to know that the one doctor I sought a consultation from 7 years ago is closing his office tomorrow due to inclement weather.

I wore a base layer set that I bought for a trip last year. It's such a game changer that I'm kicking myself for not having done it sooner.

Good news! Following another vehicle incursion on the trail, and additional news coverage, DDOT has confirmed to us that they are taking steps to protect the entrances to the MBT from drivers.

It's tempting to just let tools think for you, but you still need to be able to think for yourself and stay sharp.

I was laid off last week. I'm excited to start a new chapter where I can put my knowledge and dedication to work. I believe every chapter closes to make room for something more rewarding. I'm keen to discover the next opportunity. Learn more: www.linkedin.com/pos... #OpenToWork
Chris Short Résumé | Chris Short
I'm looking for a new role! With 30 years in the industry, I'm excited to start a new chapter. I believe every ending creates space for something more rewarding.
I love taking intricate technical concepts and making them click for people. Whether through content, community work, or strategic enablement, my best days are when I help practitioners understand powerful tools and drive adoption.
What I Bring
My career bridges deep technical capability with clear communication:
Content That Drives Adoption: I've created 700+ hours of video content and maintain newsletters reaching 6,300+ subscribers (DevOps'ish, EKS.news). I've given countless talks that translate complexity into clarity, driving revenue and reducing support load.
Community Impact: As a former CNCF Ambassador and current Kubernetes Contributor Comms co-lead, I led communications for the K8s registry migration, achieving zero downtime globally. I've onboarded dozens of contributors and helped shape how we discuss cloud native tech.
Shipping Big Things: I led the AWS re:Invent 2023 Kubernetes track with 50+ speakers and 30+ sessions, improving CSAT scores. I drove Valkey's developer engagement strategy—it's now the de facto Redis fork worldwide. I organized and hosted GitOpsCon EU 2021 with 300+ attendees, making it a top 2 KubeCon Day 0 event. Earlier in my career, I led a $1M AWS cloud migration with measurable savings.
Technical Depth: I bring 30 years across IT ops, DevOps, the Kubernetes/CNCF ecosystem, open source tooling (Linux/Ansible), multi-cloud environments, and container technologies. Bonus: I'm now AI-enabled.
What I'm Looking For
Roles where technical experience meets storytelling. Three must-haves: customer-facing, cloud-native, and storytelling-heavy.
Developer Advocate, Technical Marketing Manager, and Product Marketing Manager roles fit perfectly. Solutions Architect positions could work if they involve customer-facing technical communication and enablement.
I'm especially interested in companies building cloud native tools or Kubernetes-based platforms—that's my playground.
The Remote Piece
I need remote work as a disabled veteran managing nerve/spine damage, PTSD, and anxiety. My Detroit care team keeps me going. I'm near a major Delta hub and have done same-day international trips when needed. Remote doesn't mean unavailable—I'm committed to being responsive and engaged.
Let's Connect
After three decades, I know my value: I make complex tech accessible, build communities around products, and drive adoption through authentic technical storytelling. I'm available now for full-time roles; contract work could also fit.
If you're building something great and need someone who translates technical depth into business impact, let's talk.

Bringing back and oldie but goodie #TranspoBINGO square as we enter 2026. What are your public and active transpo resolutions this year?
For my Transpo resolution I’ve tried to opt for more bus transit than rail. I was pretty successful taking the 96 and the L2 multiple times this week (more than normal) and hope to continue.
