I find this piece so great to listen to. For many reasons. Why? Oh, I’m glad you asked. Here’s why: It’s familiar and predictable so I can work to it without being distracted by new sounds. It reminds me of youth music camp back when I was a wee one, either we played it? Or…

As I mentioned here and here, I was recently in Brazil at WordCamp Rio de Janeiro. My colleague, Erica Varlese and I talked to the attendees about how to do great support. Here’s those slides:

On a recent trip to Brazil I met some amazing cheese breads. Unanimously declared a delicacy, my coworker and I ate them every chance we got. When we extolled the virtues of Pão de Queijo to our Brazilian friends, more than one person assured us of their ease of preparation and it turns out, yes!…

I was trying to think of what to make for dinner tonight and my amazing coworker Pam shared this with me. It looks so yummy don’t you think?

In prep for our upcoming Long Walk we did a 10.53 miler. Got childcare, the weather was fantastic, planned a route, and off we went. We were an hour in when we saw this: That’s a massive storm cloud across the valley, approaching our location, in case you’re not sure what you’re looking at. About…
