That moment you realize Josiah Bartlett was part of American history while watching The American Revolution on PBS … and not just a character Sorkin made up for the West Wing.

And then a little more research reveals he’s your wife’s third cousin, 8 times removed.

It's super frustrating to know that one of my websites gets dinged on accessibility because a Twitter tracking pixel doesn't have proper alt attributes. #MarTech

If I wanted some great PR for my company I think I’d follow H-E-B’s example and donate to food banks, not a presidential ballroom.

Looking forward to seeing the Forney Band in San Antonio at state competition next week. The band tied for first with Waxahachie in the area finals.

School Spirit Nights at local restaurants feel like a racket when you're trying to save money. For my family of 5 I feel like it would be better if I just give the school $10 and eat at home than spend $60-70 at the restaurant and the school gets $7.

I wish mobile ordering was more advanced at many restaurants. If I’m going to arrive and wait 30 minutes, don’t tell me it should be ready in 5 to 7. Tell me it’ll be ready in 30 minutes. It’s fine if you’re busy, just let me know before I make the drive.
Might help to learn from some pizza joints.

At my son’s band competition on Saturday, one of the bands played the Doxology as their warmup.
46 years in church and it may have been one of the best renditions I’ve heard.
Now I’m wondering if there’s a non-Christian origin to the song and/or why it was chosen.

I'm continually amazed at the lengths people will go to so they can show changes in a Word document, rather than simply using Track Changes.

Everytime McDonald’s or other fast food restaurants ask me to pull into a parking spot to wait on my food I hear, “Thanks for your money. Please move along so we can give these other folks their food first.”

Web developers: would you put a UTM or other tracking on your resume to see who's viewing your portfolio sites?
Hiring managers: what would you think if you realized someone did that?

I really appreciate when digital/web/ux designers talk about accessibility in their resumes. I appreciate it even more when they share portfolios and work that backs it up.
