The "detailed description" field says the character limit is 800, but won't allow the form to submit if the length is over 790 characters.

It feels a little silly, but every time I get a new Brandon Sanderson book, I want to show off my collection/Sandershelf

Ally Vogel is awesomeness incarnate. I have loved working with her as part of the program committee

@rhiannon.io is just fun to be around, and said all kinds of flattering things about me last night, which odds always a fun ego boost

@doodlingdev.bsky.social gave the opening keynote of keynotes on Keynote on Day 3 of the conference. And they killed it. So good.

@runsonstories.bsky.social a fellow Sanderson fan, I expect to have a fun conversation anytime Mina is around.

I name dropped @nodunayo.bsky.social multiple times during the Ruby Podcast panel, because she’s awesome and has an exceptional impact on me

#RailsConf is less than two months away! I'll be part of the Ruby Podcast Panel alongside Drew Bragg, Chris Oliver, and Stephanie Minn. We'd love to have some listener questions to discuss during the panel. Please reach out if there's anything you'd like us to talk about!

Well I was a theater nerd in high school, and that’s definitely an era or two back, so….

Finally, getting to take pictures with these real-life versions of Stormlight characters was just fun. And of course Wit insulted everyone. #DragonsteelNexus

The art and decorations at the #DragonsteelNexus Worldhopper Ball were just gorgeous.

The highlight of #DragonsteelNexus had to be the Worldhoppers Ball. My daughter has dreamed of attending a royal ball since she was little, so it was super fun to kind of be able to take her to one.

The Story Deck cards ended up being a fun "collection" game. Gorgeous art on the back of the cards that combines into a larger picture. I managed to get all of the cards thankfully, to the point that I was trying to replace my normal cards with the foil version as much as I could. #DragonsteelNexus

The "convention game" this year at #DragonsteelNexus consisted of a "passport" that you get stamped whenever you complete an activity (like going to a panel). And for every page of the passport you complete, you get a pack of Story Deck cards. It sounds a little strange, but I had a GREAT time.

Cosplay is an expected component of conventions like #DragonsteelNexus , but sometimes you come across something that truly amazes you. This was one of those moments for me. This BRIGHTLY glowing shardplate was just awesome.

The cardboard standees in the reception area were, as always, very awesome. It's always fun seeing what the characters from the books look like. #DragonsteelNexus

First up, family photos with Mistborn Santa. I even got to hold his christmas tree-shaped shardblade. #DragonsteelNexus

#Dragonsteel badges obtained. Now the fun can begin
December 4, 2024 at 8:35 PM
We’ve arrived in Utah, and are now in line with several hundred new friends and fellow Sanderfans to pick up our badges and swag for #DragonsteelNexus
December 4, 2024 at 7:50 PM
At the airport, at a truly unholy hour, heading to Utah for Dragonsteel Nexus.

I met Kinsey briefly at RailsConf years ago, and finally got to have a conversation with her for the podcast (her episode releases December 2). She's super nice, and she's the co-chair for #RubyConf this year, so thank you for all the work you put into this conference! #RubyFriends

Mina Slater ( @runsonstories.bsky.social ), #RubyFriend and fellow Sanderfan, here together at #RubyConf
November 14, 2024 at 9:01 PM
Jim Remsik (@jremsikjr.bsky.social ) is one of the co-chairs for #RubyConf this year. He is a tremendously genuine person, and I’m glad I had a chance to work with him, however briefly, here at the conference. #RubyFriends

I’m volunteering at #RubyConf this year, and Ally Vogel was one of the primary points of contact to get set up. She was so kind dealing with me missing deadlines due to ridiculous weather (hurricanes). #RubyFriends
