Taking the combined annual revenues ($993 billion) and user counts (6 billion) of Amazon, Alphabet and Meta we find the average user is worth almost $170 USD annually. This number is an extremely rough confabulation, don't take it too seriously. I just wanted to point out that our privacy has an economic cost which...

When, if ever, do I get tired of jalapeno bagels from Der Beck? I don't know, but I'm willing to find out. So on my way to NUE, I bought a freshly backed jalapeno bagel to compliment my equally freshly brewed coffee I had with me. I was heading to NUE because the weather was absolutely fantastic: blue skies,...

4 8 15 16 23 42 I now spend the better parts of my day commuting. The quiet of the morning and slowdown of the late evening are replaced by an urge to arrive. Feeling up in arms, in a steady pace forward, chasing time backwards. On one of these travels, I read this on a stone curving: “The only boundary to learning...

In this second part of my ‘Building an IndieWeb house’ series, on the whys and hows of this blog, I’m going to go over the very basics of using Hugo to make a static website, how to get that on the internet and the ‘syndicate elsewhere’ element of POSSE.

Psssst. White girls, over here. *waves* Today is International Women’s Day, so come sit with me and let us talk about how we can stop centering ourselves in movements and spaces that are supposed to be progressive and inclusive. Let’s start by acknowledging that we live in a society where, as white women, our voices...

Hace poco vi la serie “Celeste” (Movistar+). Es el tipo de thriller que me gusta, en este caso extremadamente tranquilo pero en el que a la vez cada capítulo te deja con ganas de más. Solo quiero mencionar que ha debido ser complicado hacer una serie interesante a partir de uno de los personajes más planos que te...

In February, I gave a talk at the DecompileD Conference in Dresden, Germany, titled “Building Incident Management Skills.” I shared how we built and implemented the Incident Coordinator Role, which is focused on reducing the pressure from first responder engineers and coordinating the incident, allowing engineers to...

A new hardware project Earlier this week I put together a color e-ink picture frame powered by a Raspberry Pi. It was a pretty easy, fun little project. For the past few days I’ve been having it run a simple script I wrote that chooses a random photo of mine and overlays the current weather conditions every 30...
