Seventeen years. It’s been seventeen years since we lost my brother. He was just 21 years old and my life has never been the same since. Reflecting back on the intervening years, I realized that his way may have been the best way. Thanksgiving was just four days away that year and it was particularly…

I heard the news about Stan Lee’s passing at the dinner table surrounded by coworkers and friends when in London and got to thinking about how a single person can have such a large impact. I…

I’ve also got scores of scans of old photographs, screenshots, and a bunch of other graphics that have accumulated over the years. Thankfully modern mobile…
Containers are everywhere and I’m, personally, behind the times. I’d like to think that I’ve kept up with new technology trends, but on containers I was caught napping. So now it’s time to really get cracking and for that I need to have a playground. There are several online options available, but I’m cheap, so…
Now that you’ve gotten ready for the climate and have done your preparation for the conference, it’s time to turn your attention to the celebration.

Here’s my latest version of that…
