Taking a break from cleaning up after a Chicago snowstorm & attending #AWSreInvent this week with @pluralsight.bsky.social. I write Scale, Pluralsight's weekly cloud computing industry briefing newsletter. If you're around and have a cloudcentric story to talk about in 2026 - let's connect.

Memories of my past life in journalism and the boxes and boxes of schwag in the garage from media events/corporate mailers. Confession, my friends: I still use the Homer Simpson mug from the Simpsons World streaming app launch party back in 2014 or so.
Mmm... coffee.
