Photo by Alex Grodkiewicz on Unsplash I’ve been talking with a lot of companies lately, and here’s what I’ve seen going right During my job hunt I’ve had a chance to get to know a lot really interesting companies. Doesn’t matter if I was the right fit or not, that’s not the point here. Part of my…
Sure I want to, but that isn’t the point Photo by Todd Quackenbush on Unsplash I love to cook. My mom taught me how to make her spaghetti sauce when I was 13 (that would be 35 years ago) and I never looked back. I still have my cheap, plastic recipe card box from 7th grade home…
Kinda hiatus, but more like life got in the way A beacon cutting through the crap I realized this morning while I was sending out my “portfolio” for a job application, that I haven’t published here since June. Hmm. While I have been dormant here, I have been doing some freelance writing for Vonigo. So not totally…
Let’s hope it stays that way As the FCC in the U.S. threatens to dismantle net neutrality, the Independent reports the in the U.K. Theresa May may just censor the whole damn thing. This is not good. If there is one thing that is essential to the free exercise of democracy to innovation to even the…
Does it matter if it isn’t? Photo by Gary Ullah. Lots of folks are talking about Mastodon, yes myself included, and over the past 24 hours I’ve seen more than a few people dismiss Mastodon already. It’s not going to last. The shine will wear off soon. FFS people it’s only been a week and a bit…

How do you build more when you don’t think there is a place for more? I was chatting with Marshall Kirkpatrick about apps and what we’re up to. I think Marshall is a deity, demigod at least, of taking tons of data sources and doing amazing things. He and I probably consumed the same number of…
Remember needing several email accounts back in the day? If you thought Twitter droppings were bad… Yes, like all my geeky tech brethren I’ve opened a Mastodon account. I picked mastodon.cloud and I’m my usual @trishussey there if you care to follow me. But that’s not the point here. I’m not going to hype Mastodon as a…
A few simple things would have made things much better. I needed to get the driver’s-side side mirror fixed on my wife’s car. It had been bashed and wouldn’t stay in place. Since this is a safety issue, we wanted it fixed fast. Being new to the area, and far from our original dealer, I needed…
I write a lot of stuff. And it all starts with a blank piece of glass I’ve been on a bit of a writing tear of late. Which is good because writing is literally my job. I made a faux-resolution to write for myself this year. While work gets their 1500 words (ish) a day out…
