And since you have to include a short biography with these applications, I decided it was time for a bit of an overhaul. For perspective, here is the old…

  • The Beginning of Something Beautiful

  • Sons of Kemet’s In The Castle Of My Skin

    Contrast this with the dance video I posted on drie artists and you’ll get a high energy, incredibly staged and filmed video of the incredible Sons of Kemet. I can’t watch it without nodding my head and tapping my fingers. Literally.

  • HowToBasic presents How To Uninstall Internet Explorer

    I love everything about this video. I love that we can relate to the frustration when internet explorer won’t load. I love that he takes it one step further. And one step further after that. And another one more. I love the sound of his voice.

  • And now I’m a Software Engineer

    I recently switched career paths within Red Hat, but I looked simultaneously outside and within the company for the next opportunity. The not-so-obvious sign it’s time to switch jobs resonates with how that search went and my final decision to stay.

  • Deal With It

    Came across this gem, I can bring home the bacon; why are you so interested in the pan?, while reading one of my daily doses, Mighty Girl and, while, yes, go read the linked article, What My Uterus Can Teach You About Being a Tech Leader, this, in particular, resonated:
