As a UX writer, I've spent my career as an advocate for price transparency. It's expected everywhere you look: tax software, Airbnb rentals, restaurant tabs, concert tickets... Why should it be any different for retail websites?

This is what being 9 months pregnant at #SFWC looks like. As the technology director, I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. If you see me, say hi! @sfwc.bsky.social

The SFWC website lost a bunch of data and I had to drop everything to initiate an emergency server migration. It's still not fixed.
The SSU Department of Physics and Astronomy is under threat of being destroyed.

I just got married on Monday (yay!). One of the hardest things about it is changing your name. But no one teaches you how to do that after you've built a name for yourself professionally. Any tips on making the transition as an author?

My printer is so moody.

Nah.
WHY NOT?
Dunno. Won't tell you.
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME WRITE THIS DOWN, AREN'T YOU?
Hold tight. It's coming. I'll spit it out in a few days when you least expect it.

Spending hours updating the speaker list on the SF Writers Conference website. In retrospect, I wish this page was database-driven. But oh well. Also, the fact the website is still on an old, slow server is making this take for-ev-er. Listening to The Martian by Andy Weir to kill the time!
