One of the more fun notifications I got when building out some Slack bot automations for my talk at connect.tech
People resonate with stories so one of the things I tried this time was building a story around how the Justice League reached out to you to so you could help them automate their work

A common issue I run into with most software is distributing horizontal space. Not the functionality, but which icon to click on. Take a look at the bottom row, super clear on what does what.
Shout-out to lucidchart.com for making this super obvious!

I'm a big believer of telling stories as part of teaching and memes are a great way of helping the story go together.

It's taken me two weeks, tons of trials and errors, however, I finally figured out how to sharpen my chisels and plane such that I can get a buttery smooth cut on both face and end grain.

As an East Tennessee native, nothing sparks joy for me like seeing this.
Tennessee #1 in the SEC. No clue how long it'll last, but I love to see it.

One of the skills I've been learning this year is getting more comfortable with chisels and hand tools when it comes to wood working.
I made my first attempt at a box joint yesterday and though its quite rough (working with pine and not quite sharp enough chisels will do that), good lessons learned

It took me a bit longer than expected, but I accomplished a first, submitted a training course to Udemy!
Now just waiting for the approval.
I'm sure there are things that I could do better, but I learned a ton about editing video and how to organize my thoughts to cover a complex topic

Still waiting for the glue to dry, but got one task done this weekend, putting together a new woodworking workbench.
I'm looking forward to trying it out this weekend before making the trip to All Things Open
