I now take a dance break every time my apple watch buzzes at me to stand up. Excellent way to create some endorphins while looking super cool!

These two don’t know how good they have it, lying on a dog bed and 5 blankets. 🤪

Continuing our look back at Monktoberfest 2025, here's @gabyberk.bsky.social with a talk on the impact English and other majors can have, playing a critical role in enabling tech teams and tech companies to leverage skills like empathy, communication and collaboration. youtu.be/xbA4Q5GsSis?...

Happy first Monday of 2026. May your coffee be hot and your inbox be manageable.

My 2026 goals: 1. Be more organized. This includes in my home office, how I file on my computer, and in my physical planner. 2. Play tennis at least 1x per week (big cause I haven’t played regularly for 15ish years) 3. Donate more things than I purchase (will be the hardest)

I survived 2 weeks in Vegas for #reInvent and #GartnerIOCS. If you need me this weekend... no you don't.

It’s the best day of the year!!! Show me those #spotifywrapped!

Headed to my first #AWS #reInvent next week. Please send tips & tricks. And also #analysts lmk if you would like to catch up with #dynatrace onsite!

My irreverent #hottake of the day is that Everlane, Quince, and Madewell all now carry the exact same clothing only at slightly different qualities and prices.

Important read. Thank you @ashimmy.bsky.social. "The best breakthroughs have always come from people who wanted to improve the human condition, not those trying to beat next quarter’s estimates." techstrong.it/featured/tec...

Wrapping up #kubeconNa with Alois chatting all things agentic ai and #observability with Rob Strechay on theCUBE! @dynatrace.com

Forgot to post this yesterday… twinning with @rstephens.me at #kubeconNA!

Who will I be seeing this week at #KubeCon? Let me know and let's meet up! Also, be sure to stop by the @dynatrace.com booth (1120) and if you are a #journalist or #analyst attending, send me a DM so I can invite you to breakfast ;) #KubeConNA #analystrelations #Dynatrace

Could anybody actually get through "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?"Or did we all just rage click it out of voyeuristic curiosity? literally people it is 2025. let women be. #radicalwokeliberalfeminist

Okay but how is it November. This has been the longest shortest year ever.

Really fun few days in London with @monkchips.com! We ran all around town filming him and Alois talking all things #observability #AI and #opensource. Stay tuned for the final videos! @dynatrace.com @redmonk.com

#behindthescenes with @monkchips.com! What do observability and gourmet restaurants have in common?

Weeee! We out here with Alois and @redmonk.com !!

My watch said I slept for 3 hours and 5 minutes on the plane last night, so how many americanos do we think are too many americanos?

Last night I had a dream that companies could create artificial rainbows in the sky and brand them with their name and slogan. Even in my dream, it was eerie, so let's collectively agree not to make that technology. #AI #dreams

Came out of running retirement for 13.1 with my 75 year old mom. All she wanted for her birthday was to run a half with her kids, and she did amazing. First in her age group!

I just love the @redmonk.com and @monktoberfest.com community so much. Glad my colleague Sean got to experience it for the first time this year, too!!

“Trust is infrastructure.” - @bcantrill.bsky.social at #monktoberfest @monktoberfest.com

@rstephens.me with the bluey dance party content, and a serious important message about the autonomy we have when it comes to how we choose to show up at work. #monktoberfest

#lifeofashowgirl is straight bangers all the way through. #taylorswift

Analyst relations are a perfect example of the reality where you can't just dictate stuff to people. You need to have the relationship built, the interpersonal trust, to advocate for solutions/tech choices/whatever to people. And that's soft skills. #monktoberfest

“Evidence is a light in the goddamn darkness” - @grimalkina.bsky.social YES. @monktoberfest.com #monktoberfest

Love this talk by @gabyberk.bsky.social at @monktoberfest.com. A strong reminder that soft skills are hard.

I did it!!!!

Learning roller derby at @monktoberfest.com! Incredible.

Worst drum circle ever - and I love them all #monktoberfest

Thanks so much to @dynatrace for feeding our attendees tonight on the boat. We appreciate you. Another lovely Fall Monktoberfest night.

Weee it is my favorite week of the year! Just two more sleeps until #monktoberfest!

Got my #flu and #Covid #vaccines yesterday, while I still could. Arm is a bit sore and my armpit lymph node is swollen, but I would MUCH rather these side effects than getting super sick this fall. Science is real, vaccines work and save lives, and RFK jr is a scary ding-dong. #getvaccinated

Now I have a little family of labubus which makes me happy, and things that make us happy are incredible important atm. #labubu

Tayvis' engagement is the best news we have collectivity received in literal years.

I read a few days ago that millennials are buying labubus to try to get the same serotonin feeling as we had when we bought beanie babies with our babysitting money and honestly? I couldn’t agree more.

Anybody else get nostalgic for going back to school around this time of year? I kind of miss plotting my outfit weeks in advance and designating specific binders and notebooks to specific classes. Don't miss being in school tho, there is a reason I don't have any advanced degrees beyond Bachelors!

The best and only good part of Zip is the confetti on the screen once you submit a request.

6.2 miles done this morning! Longest run since my last marathon in 2019. Feelings pretty good, even if it started pouring half way through. #running #halfmarathontraining

Outlook going and changing stuff this morning on today of all days... REALLY?!

Seeing the baby orioles in my yard learning how to eat grape jelly by themselves is really the uplifting timeline cleanse I needed.

It finally happened. I have over 1,000 unread emails in outlook. I am not proud.

Yesterday I celebrated 5 years since my last #chemo treatment. 5 years is the first big remission milestone, chance of relapse decreases and oncology visits are only 1x per year. So, go me! I took the day off and spent it outside with my dogs, husband, and giant gluten free cake.

I bought my first apple watch over the weekend. In my marathoning years I used a Garmin, when I was recovering from chemo I used a Whoop, then back to Garmin, then nothing. I got an apple watch bc it seems like the best "everything" tracker BUT... the UI is NOT intuitive to me!

Totally good over here definitely not on my couch staring at a wall listening to neutral milk hotel on vinyl. Happy Friday, or something.

if your first thought seeing this news is "good" - shame on you. Killing innocent Jews will not end what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza. This is anti-semitism in action and it makes me sick to my stomach. We have to be better to each other. That is the only way forward.

"So next time you read about organizations moving away from “nice,” what they’re really doing is voluntarily choosing to lower their own performance and demotivate their talent." YES. www.forrester.com/blogs/its-no...

Spotted the first catbird of spring!!!! here we go!
