Last one (for now). This is also me.

A big-horned... goat? Of some variety. Its head is tilted and eyes squinted in a classic "what the fuck are you doing??" expression.

Was looking at my blog stats this morning and realized I just hit 200 subscribers! I know that's small potatoes in the influencer game, but it's exciting to me! Here's to the next 200!

It's lego themed! I'm so happy!

A picture of the scale badge with my name and company. The background has a penguin building with lego bricks. The SCaLE 22x banner. The scene depicted is bright and cheerful and made out of lego bricks.

Definitely the best swag at KubeCon this year was from the team at DevZero (devzero.io). Look at this adorable father-son custom-printed Lego Minifig pair! It's me and minimorr! So excite.

There's been a lot of ink spilled about the choice of venue for kubecon this year, and I don't have anything to add to that, but I'm really happy that rejekts found an open/safe space for LGBTQ+ folks here.
