For the first time maybe ever for me, I’ll be getting off a plane at SLC, and then getting back on the exact same plane to BNA.

Intra-time zone flights under three hours are the best

Joint statement from Kubernetes Steering and Security Response Committees: In March 2026, Kubernetes will retire Ingress NGINX, a piece of critical infrastructure for about half of cloud native environments. This is an emergency. Please pay attention. kubernetes.io/blog/2026/01...

First time back in Seattle after playing The Last Of Us 2, and I’m looking at it very differently

iOS 26 is suddenly announcing all notifications on my AirPods. I’ve definitely only enabled that for messages, and confirmed they’re turned off. This is massively annoying.

Let’s be clear about Trump’s obsession with Greenland: its not about security. If it truly were, they’d get creative about adding more US military bases and hardware as a NATO member, restrictions on shipping lanes, etc. This is about Trump wanting to leave a legacy with global map-making changes.

Merry Christmas from Florida!

ACM now supports automated certificate management for Kubernetes #eks #kubernetes

With Cedar coming to the #CNCF sandbox, the authorization engine and policy language project seeks contributors to help create new language bindings. By @hjoslyn.bsky.social, feat. @micahhausler.com

Can you fix my printer?

Ah, Black Friday: the day I can identify and unsubscribe from every email list I never wanted to be on.

This is *exactly* what these things look like. Click the link for the animated version

The golden hour light this afternoon was incredible

Ignited a flame war in the family chat about whether Chex mix should include Corn Chex.

No AWS employee can read, copy, modify, or otherwise access customer content in Amazon EKS. Thats a pretty big claim, and one we're proud to announce to the world today. aws.amazon.com/blogs/securi...

#KubeCon Day 2 Recap 🚀 Yesterday's convos with AWS Open experts were invaluable. @micahhausler.com detailed the significance of upstream contributions, Mike Stefaniak shared the EKS approach to Agentic AI, and Jesse Butler explored developer tools and verification.

This is a truly significant announcement for organizations who want to know that Amazon EKS is secure to run their most sensitive workloads. aws.amazon.com/blogs/securi...

Reminder: #Kubernetes SIG Meet & Greet is Noon-2pm today at #Kubecon, in room B216. Grab a lunch downstairs, then come meet your SIG and/or learn where to contribute to Kubernetes. Take the "secret escalator" up from the back of the show floor. events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-clou...

This absolutely sucks for anyone flying to KubeCon. Fortunately for me I'll be driving this time, but what a mess. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

TBH this is such a letdown with the date change. Speaking as an attendee, moving KubeCon from Oct to mid-November so close to re:Invent is such a drag (AWS is a diamond sponsor, haven’t been the last few years when KCNA was in Nov) events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-clou...

Someone, somewhere once typoed my employer as AMOZON and now it shows up in my credit report.

I recently started an instagram account. They wait a full 4 weeks before asking “allow app to track?” I guess they found that people are reluctant to say yes when initially getting the app

Hello Bluebird

Last full day in Uganda, and got to see some more cool birds near Mt Elgon #birding

Portraits from Karamoja, Uganda today

A nice side effect to last night’s eclipse was that you could see the Milky Way with the naked eye! This is a long-exposure shot captured during totality. #astrophotography

Pretty psyched about the birding today in rural Uganda #birding #birds

The Sept 7th total lunar eclipse, viewed from Karamoja, Uganda #astrophotography

Still learning how to edit, but I’m pretty pleased with the result! #astrophotography

Not bad for a first night shooting with a sky tracker! Went out in the everglades to try out the new gear #astrophotography

I kid you not, my high school chemistry teacher’s name was Merlin.

Stay Rad

Wild to see a truck carrying ASML cargo in Tennessee.

It’s special when you have 10 minutes of overlapping layover with your brother in the same airport! Especially so when we both had accidental flight changes that made it happen!

I have a good friend who left the Army in 2016 because he didn’t want to end up in the position of being deployed against civilians. At the time I thought it was a tail risk.

I truly appreciate that @signal.org has a private autocomplete keyboard and privacy features for voice to text, but man does it highlight how much better iMessage is

The main problem about visiting Alaska is now I just wonder why I don’t live in Alaska.

He got the short rib. He didn’t ask if it was hormone free.

Should I turn on a screening of The Handmaid’s Tale prominently angled towards him?

OMFG I’m on a 6 hour flight to Alaska sitting next to RFK JR I shit you not

I had a fun time paddle boarding and picnicking with a Korean couple from my apartment today. They told me a Korean friend visited home from the US and was not allowed back due to an unpaid speeding ticket from a car rental. They’re now super anxious about driving in the US. This is not ok.

Very excited to be speaking with @luxas.dev at KubeCon in Atlanta this November! We'll be speaking on how you can better secure Kubernetes, and what the future of K8s authorization looks like sched.co/27FdC

“436 replied STOP, 384 didn’t respond”

Breaking News: Chuck Mangione, the fluegelhorn-playing hitmaker who helped create the genre known as “smooth jazz,” is dead at 84.

Not Chuck Mangione 😞😞😞😞

For the insane engineering behind it, read our tech blog - lnkd.in/g5d8KynK. 2/n

Today marks a quantum leap for Amazon EKS. We're announcing support for ultra scale AI/ML clusters with up to 100,000 nodes or 1.6 million accelerators in a single cluster. Fully Kubernetes conformant at an industry leading scale - lnkd.in/gymjVenN. 🧵1/n

Went paddle boarding today for the first time. 10/10. Would recommend to friends.

I vibe-coded to try and make this, and it turns out TPM Endorsement Keys certs/keys don't support singing data directly. You can use the TPM API with a client-supplied quote/nonce to prove that a separate signing key (Attestation Key) is on the same TPM, and then make signatures with the AK
