My Honors thesis in college used The Family Guy to explain simulacra, but this is equally as good.

First day of kids at school AND husband at his office and it was gloriously quiet.

Obsessed with this song currently open.spotify.com/track/05od2q...

By 2027, all Android devs must verify identity, even outside Play Store. I’ve long argued developer identity is a supply chain attack vector—this move shows the industry recognizing it as key to reducing malware.

Oops accidentally forgot about this place for the last six months. Let's try again maybe?

Used my points to upgrade to first class for my flight to Las Vegas 💅🏻

Holiday treat making week has begun!

It’s a wonder secrets are still such a huge problem….

Hey kids, was Luigi a sussy imposter?! Follow NBC for more breaking news

I hear about Among Us every day from my six year olds, didn’t expect it in the news today.

Got back the holiday photos we did and I am just obsessed!

Wowwwww

Did I just commit to going to see Spiritbox on the west side of Michigan to turn around and go to Detroit the next morning to fly to RSA? You betcha. 🤪

New research from me for IDC subscribers (gated link) covering Snyk’s recent acquisition of Probely. www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?c...

As predicted, 2024 was the year of ADTR. No Doubt, Incubus, and Chino always appears (this year in the form of Crosses instead of the Deftones). Bad Omens was last years reigning artist and still holds on. Oh and Disease by Lady Gaga is such an addicting song.

Excellent work from my colleague @mattflug.bsky.social!!

I am proud to announce that IDC has been awarded the IIAR Analyst Firm of the Year for the 5th consecutive year! 🏆 This recognition highlights IDC's deep domain expertise, market knowledge, and ability to provide clear, actionable insights. Thank you to the The IIAR>!

👏👏 @gitlab.com and @awscloud.bsky.social - paraphrasing my quote in this - GitLab and AWS are combining their strengths to make agentic AI a reality in software development, addressing strong use cases and critical challenges that empower customers to harness the full potential of AI.

I attended at least a dozen huge tech conferences this year and didn’t get sick once. Get together for Turkey Day with 8 elementary age nieces and nephews and BAM!

Cozy Christmas puppers. 🥰

Ska gave me unrealistic expectations about picking things up.

The end of that game was painful to watch.

I officially have 10 more days of work in 2024! 🎉🎉

Thanksgiving contribution prep is done. Dishes are not.

Five years in a row!! So proud to work at IDC. Thanks @iiar.bsky.social! analystrelations.org/2024/11/26/t...

New hair, who dis?

Been thinking a lot lately about that episode of Parks and Rec where Leslie and Tom have to rebrand fluoride in the water as TDazzle in order to get the public to support it.

Yet another friendly reminder that securing the software supply chain is more than open source, but all the people, process, and tech that go into creating the app. thehackernews.com/2024/11/cybe...

Happy Monday! Resharing as there have been quite a few new folks added over the weekend! go.bsky.app/EtxD8pG

It’s good to be a Michigander these days.

Bluesky feels like I took a Time Machine back to 2009 when I was still like “Hey this social media thing is going to make the world a better place.”

Current listen - new Phantogram open.spotify.com/track/771xIR...

That doesn’t look very comfortable, but the snores and sleep farts suggest otherwise.

It’s about time, although these are things we already mostly do (we’ve always had DMing off). But more granular content controls is welcome esp since my kids like the “horror” games like Rainbow Friends, etc that are innocuous but we have to set their age higher to access.
