👋🏼 quick intro:
Built my first site in 1995 and immediately fell in love the power to publish online. Stumbled into open source in 2011 (#WordPress)
Currently teaching #FrontEndDev at LinkedIn Learning, trying to keep my clients happy, and figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.

And here's to hashtags I never thought I'd find myself using on social media. All the same, go get yourselves checked, ladies!
Guess where I am? Just a friendly reminder to schedule your annual well woman visit if you haven’t already. Keep those tatas and hoohahs healthy! #womenshealth #breastexam #papsmear

My brain is so tired (in a good way) from today’s @cloudfestusa.bsky.social hackathon, I don’t have the energy to post something unique here, so I just give you my post on LinkedIn. 🤓

I've used Clarity.fm for years as a pay-by-the-minute consulting platform, but the service is meh. Phone call quality is consistently poor and there's no online meeting option (gimme some screen share ability!).
I don't do a ton of these calls, but I need a better solution. What do you use?

Listening to Stanley Tucci’s “What I Ate In One Year.” Good grief I love listening to that man talk about food.

Writers have been using me long before the advent of AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardigan—beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here. I am not novel. I’m the cigarette you keep saying you’ll quit.
