pretty sure singapore has to be the easiest to go from plane to hotel. literally 40 minutes from a remote stand to baggage to #grab to hotel. In europe, id still be waiting for the bags #TravelerTales

Welcome aboard the flagship #UA1 for the "short" 16.5hr jaunt over to Singapore. first trek of the year #TravelerTales

alright, time to start another adventure. Breaking out of the freezer. First stop is SFO where ill gain +30F in temperature compared to Chicago #TravelerTales

you ever feel like you are treading water? Thats how my morning is going. knocking things out, but not making much overall progress #MondayMorningProblems

i just received a "Happy New Year" while speaking to a customer support representative. I think that goes just a bit beyond the timeline for which it is still applicable #WhatDayIsIt

Saturday is all about catching up and planning. Like a good football coach, its x's and o's with an injection of plenty of caffeine #GiddyUp

afte a very long, exausting, but productive week). we have finally made it to the weekend. how are you spending your friday? #tgif

it wasnt until I went to the supermarket that I realized that it was Valentines day. Interesting that it wasnt mentioned/brought up either in the airports or on the flight. No love lost I guess #JustAnotherDay

ah katy perry. the soundtrack of vegas....

not a fan of the lower third scoreboard. just terrible #SuperBowl

headed to Vegas on Sunday. Need a good Vegas movie to watch tonight. Any ideas? #Viva #TGIF

spinning way too many plates these days #LifeIsCrazyAwesome

when you turn on the TV in the hotel room and it says "Good evening, Shawn", I might want to proactively set the deadbolt on the door to avoid "unfortunate" situations from cropping up #TravelerTales

we are about 8 hours into this 17 hour flight and lets just say that 98% of the cabin is sleeping. except for the folks in the center section of row 32. and you can probably guess what row I am occupying today #workaholic #TravelerTales

bridging EMEA and NA timezones by starting the week in NA and finishing up in EMEA. going to be an action packed week! #NeverStopInnovating

the pop tarts bowl takes the cake (pun intended) for the most creative marketing during the college bowl series. bravo to their marketing crew!

doing some development in #PHP for the first time in heck, 15 years. weird then. weird now #DeveloperTales

How do you know that I love traveling the world helping the community and organizations innovate with Open Source? Spending time watching a movie where the #TSA plays a role as the main character #TravelerTales

anyone have any suggestions on best practices building multi arch native @quarkus.io application on GitHub actions. first attempt taking >1hr for arm64. thats no bueno #AskingTheAudience

playing a bit with @quarkus.io and it reminds me why I do enjoy programming in #Java. Feels like familiar territory #Developer

CFP reviews and football. thats a good way to spend a saturday afternoon #TheWeekend #NFL

Once again reminded how utterly dysfunctional EWR is. Weekend before a major holiday it literally has 1 runway open for landings and departures #TravelerTales

headed to boston on Saturday. So of course I'm watching the Red Sox 2004 documentary on Netflix #Boston #Sox #ParkTheCarInHarvardYard

just 1 more day folks. almost made it to the end of the week! #HangInThere

I knew today was going to be a good day when the gate agent in #ORD was wearing #Bills swag #BillsMafia

taking the metaphorical red pen out today to review some CFP's. Love seeing the creativity and real world use cases in some of these proposals!

going to be a slide creation heavy day. Even though its the last full work week of the year, not letting up! #NeverStopEnabling

welcome aboard #UA987 where we are headed to the city of lights, Paris. I am really excited about this trip. Not only where there be impactful discussions with key customers, but also an exploration of Christmas markets in the region #TisTheSeason #TravelerTales

mercifully... we have made it to the weekend. how are you spending your friday evening #tgif #TheWeekend

nothing and mean nothing beats the approach from over the lake into either of the Chicago airports. its yet another reminder that I am home (at least for the moment)... #TravelerTales #Chicago
