All Things Open 2025 speaker announcement. The heading says "I'm speaking at ATO 2025!" with a subtitle of "Join me & thousands of technologists for year lucky #13 of All Things Open!". Below the heading is an astronaut surrounded by symbols of luck. To the left is the All Things Open logo with the dates October 12-14, location Raleigh, NC USA, and a "Register Today" call to action.

I'm thrilled to be speaking at @allthingsopen.bsky.social this year!

If you've heard me talk about conferences, you've heard of ATO. I've met so many friends from attending ATO events. 2025 is going to be great and I'm excited to be part of it!

A home garden viewed from a corner angle. Raised garden beds growing tomato, pepper, and okra plants are in the foreground. A long, walk through trellis is in the background with beans and cucumbers beginning to climb the sides. Behind them are blueberry and blackberry bushes.

Garden update since it's been a while.

Garlic was just harvested over the weekend. Blueberries are almost ready. Tomato plants are enjoying the cooler start this summer while the peppers are a bit behind. Okra, cucumbers, and beans are coming along too.

I do this for every trip out of paranoia that the one time I don't will be when everything is working against me. I'd rather be early and bored than late and stressed πŸ˜†

If you're buying lawn equipment, go all in on electric ⚑ Get a straight shaft string trimmer that can accept attachments and you'll be able to add some new tools later with less $ and space

What bumps did you hit? I've been coding in WSL since it first released and love it. I'm typically doing JS/TS, Rust, and Go though

Ok this is the first app I've seen that makes me reconsider YNAB. Do you know of any features it's missing? May be doing some reading later...

View from the SLC airport lobby windows that stretch floor to ceiling. Chairs are lined in front of the windows. A series of Delta airplanes are visible with a mountain backdrop.

#EpicWebConf was, in fact, epic. One of my favorite events and a 4 year reunion for me and my Remix conf gang. I can't express in one post how impactful these events have been on me... but I might pack it into a talk sometime soon.

See you next time SLCπŸ‘‹πŸ»
