Software and product management guy. Cloud Native, API and reformed service mesh guy, I guess. Dad. Husband. Oaktowner.

I work at Nutanix, but this is my feed, not theirs.
I'm in the spirit for this Hawaii Bowl. Go Bears!

OMG, @karaswisher.bsky.social just called David Ellison "nepo-mogul" on Pivot and I'm DYING.

Several...but probably opening weekend of Footloose with a bunch of other 14-year-olds...and by the final credits, we were all dancing in the aisles.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

In all likelihood, I didn't see @angryblacklady.blacksky.app on my flight to Oakland, but it sure looked like her! (No pics cuz that's creepy)

One thing I like about the Gartner IOCS conference (which I pronounce "aye-ocks" in my head) is that you can live-stream the sessions and can even download the slides from the app. Super useful for attendees.

I kind of dove deep into the @smartless.bsky.social backlog this year...263 episodes deep!

Ah, the Thanksgiving Day Parade: that annual tradition in which singers I don't know lip sync songs I don't want to hear to advertise products I didn't want to buy.

Nevertheless, here we go again!

Happy 10th birthday to the OpenAPI Initiative!

Being a part of the creation was one of the highlights of my career...and introduced me to some really cool folx (hi, @earth2marsh.com!).

I'll see you there, @bettyjunod.bsky.social !

Thanks to Sudeep Goswami, CEO of @traefik.io for inviting me to join him on The Cube. Had a great discussion with him, Paul Nashawaty and Rob Strechay on the evolving landscape in cloud native land (especially how VMs and containers co-exist in the enterprise). www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XgA...

It's always fun to run into @justingarrison.com -- and this time I ended up with a @fafo.fm sticker! (And if you haven't listened to this month's episode with @elchefe.me, go find it... it's an instant classic. What a treasure.)

Ingress NGINX is being retired! This is a huge deal because its use is so widespread. If you are using NGINX ingress, you *definitely* want to investigate alternatives...before the next big vulnerability hits. Officially, maintenance will end in March, but you're going to want to be off by then.

I was probably 50 years old before I learned that there were people who preferred cake to pie. It was shocking to me at the time.
cake or pie? the real dividing line in this country…

We have long possessed the ability to have everyone fed, clothed and housed and have chosen not to do so. Now, this regime demands the power to commit more aggravated impoverishment.

It just pisses me off to no end to see people I might otherwise respect donating content to Musk.

@neeratanden.bsky.social , it's time. Stop giving fuel to that (dumpster) fire.

I better see no less than six stories this week in the NYT about Mamdani voters talking about their economic anxiety in Brooklyn diners and what the GOP can do to win them back.

This is a great idea. And whether you are helping Ian's area in Minneapolis or your own local food bank, please remember that donating money to a food bank is one of the most efficient ways to help those in need!
I’m raising money for Groveland Emergency Food Shelf, a South Minneapolis nonprofit that provides emergency groceries for those in need. They’re currently struggling to keep up with demand, and they’re getting their first $16k in donations matched.

I’ve got $50 on it! Can anyone match me?

Inspired by @anatosaurus.bsky.social ... I decided that my local food bank's needs are even more important than the neighborhood kids. I just donated $100 to the food bank (about twice what I spent on Halloween candy). If you can: find your local food bank and do the same!
