I attended DjangoCon US last month, and it was truly epic. I've written a deep-dive about my experience. Thank you to everyone who brought the knowledge and fun! Can't wait for next year. ❤️ 🐍 katherinemichel.github.io/blog/confere...
A short write-up about what I was up to at Commit Your Code conference this week. A special thank you to Danny Thompson, Francesco Ciulla, Erik Weibust, Rizel Scarlett, and Mark Thompson for taking my experience to the next level. katherinemichel.github.io/blog/confere...

Jan Riggins Art was back at JPMorganChase Plano to create another one of her fun optical illusion artworks for Employee Appreciation Week. This was taken earlier today at a campus block party. ✈️ ❤️
"I just want other women to have role models. I hope I can help inspire them and help them. These opportunities belong to you, too." Loved seeing Mariatta's interview in the Python documentary. ❤️
I recognized Paul Everitt from JetBrains and sat and chatted with him at Black Python Devs Summit at DjangoCon US. TIL from the Python documentary that he co-founded Zope! Had no idea.
Before I went to Austin last year, I made an effort to find great restaurants. It's a good sign that both that I found through customer reviews and loved are on the Bib Gourmand list: Franklin Barbecue and Cuantos Tacos.
A travel tip that I just picked up from a friend. I've recently started to get more organized to have great food experiences when I travel. Michelin has a special designation called Bib Gourmand for restaurants that are value for money. Interested to give it a try. guide.michelin.com/us/en
Although I'd love to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant sometime, I also wonder if it would be a bit high falutin' for me. I grew up on Midwestern comfort food. I did do a short stint working as a temp in five star hotels some years ago. Some of the food was a bit strange for me. 😆

Although I probably won't make it this trip, I'd love to make it to Alinea someday. Has anyone ever gone? Is it worth the price? www.alinearestaurant.com
For those heading to Chicago for DjangoCon US. I already have the Art Institute and Shedd Aquarium on my sightseeing list, but I like to check Atlas Obscura before I visit any city to see what oddities there are. Last year in Durham, I saw the Can Opener. www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do...
A Django Girls workshop is taking place on September 6 in Chicago. The application deadline is tomorrow. Django Girls is a fun, highly effective route for women to be introduced to coding. If you know someone who might be interested, please encourage them to apply. djangogirls.org/en/chicago/
