I've done a whole bunch of talks, interviews and stuff on other people's YouTube channels over the years so I'm going to try and catalog them here.

This one is special.

A lot of folks know me for one or two posts, and might not know I've created nine (9!) visual explanations of computer science topics, aimed at practitioners.
If you're looking for things to read this Thanksgiving, I think you'll love them.
Computer science is a lot of fun, when explained well. ❤️

Gooners never say die
Overheard my kids saying "Gooning" to each other. Me being of a certain age shouted "I love that film" apparently Gooning is not the Goonie. My two girls 12 and 16 were horrified and in fits of laughter at me.

One lesson from yesterday's AWS outage is that we found a flaw in the advice to "have a Signal groups with core staff as a backup channel during outages". (So change that to also have their phone numbers so you can use WhatsApp or Telegram or SMS if needed.)

Ageing is realising shoe comfort matters. I used to wear pointy formal shoes for work, but upgraded to Doc Martens. Now realised they're too heavy and got some Skechers. Old.

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace.
It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

First thing Dade does in Hackers? Push a white suprematist TV infomercial (literally called "America First") off the air.
I think the movie really holds up really well overall.
