Merry Christmas. Over the last month I published a daily video advent calendar for nerds - 24 Days of Cloud Ready. It's my first YouTube project, and webdev in ~10 years. Thanks to @kaihendry and many others for feedback on the videos cloudready.foundation


Building and presenting content is one of the best parts of my role. I've put together some notes on how to effectively present and avoid pitfalls common with technical content: alexsmith.org/presentation-t…


LOCKDOWN ALCOHOLICS: replace "too hungover for breakfast or lunch" with "intermittent fasting" to pretend to have your life together and lord it over banana bread baking quarantine triathletes (@TwopTwips)


Trying to find the right (retrofit) smart lock for my new home reminds me why I hate home automation and want everything to be manual. (But an actual key lock will undoubtedly result in me spending more on locksmiths, so...)

Hi. Looking at you, @Valentine

Stop it. No more 'my new years resolution is 1024x768'. No more 'loading 2012 99.9%'. No. Bad.



Feeling personally attacked that Spotify’s “Guilty Pleasures” playlist I subscribed to today almost perfectly mirrors my “2018 Most Played” playlist...

In my first week at Microsoft, my manager taught me something After 7pm the stairwell doors are locked (from the stairwell side). This weekend I have learned it is 7pm Friday until 7am Monday. And that our office has a lot of stairs between the 21st floor and the 1st floor.
