I'll be headed to Open Source Summit in Denver next week as a speaker in the Equity and Inclusion track. I would love to connect with people from the community, so please let me know if you're coming to the conference. #opensource

Floofed out.

Laid off after 1.5 years as Chief of Staff at the LF. Grateful for the growth, proud of the impact. Taking a beat to reset—and open to what’s next. If you need a strategic partner to help drive vision into action, let’s connect. #OpenToWork #ChiefOfStaff

At the end-of-year Dance banquet, Hayden was recognized for his dedication to dance through consistent attendance. His friends were all recognized too. What a great group of kids! 🕺🏽

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it? ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

So proud of my son Hayden and his dance performance at Durham School of the Arts. He’s an arts kid doing dance, violin, guitar, voice, and visual arts. Our family has always valued and loved the arts. So glad he is carrying on the tradition.

Do not give your heart to anything else But to the love of those who are clear joy, Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair. For there are hopes: they are real, they exist – Do not go in the direction of darkness – I tell you: suns exist. ~ Rumi

It’s Friday, so affogato for breakfast.

Happy 4th birthday, Mr. Frodo!

It’s Monday. Meh.

A lovely garden tour in Durham today. Good for the soul to see things in bloom, even though my allergies were acting up.

Very excited for this year's RiotFest aka Geriatric Millennial Live Aid.

"Even a wounded world is feeding us. even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of joy & wonder. i choose joy over despair, not because i have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and i must return the gift" Robin WALl Kimmerer Braiding Sweetgrass

It’s always playtime with this little guy. ❤️

Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers.

Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing. And gave it up. And took my old body and went out into the morning, and sang.

Some fun moments with kiddo in London. 🇬🇧

KubeCon is kicking off. Find me in the DEI Community Hub on Wednesday and Thursday at ICC Capital Suite 3-4 pn Level 3. Can’t wait to catch up!

I am so tired of waiting. Aren't you, for the world to become good and beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife and cut the world in two-and see what worms are eating at the rind. - LANGSTON HUGHES

What a sweet boy. 🫶🏼❤️

Anyone going to KubeCon in London next week?

Really enjoying #ATOAI conference, which is 10 minutes from my house! Great content thus far. Big kudos to @mrhinkle.bsky.social and Todd Lewis. #ai #opensource

A chill aloha Friday for the pooch Frodo. His fave perch in my office.

This is excellent.
