I finally got around to putting all of my tweets from TestBash Manchester, and Test.Bash(); into a Twitter Moment! They are here: https://twitter.com/i/moments/1051140097486262272 Note that the Test.Bash(); section is a bit light because I was very nervous about my talk, and went to the quiet area to review/tweak it during some of the talks. I’m sorry …
I can’t believe it’s only 2 weeks until the 10th Ann Arbor GiveCamp! I’ve been volunteering with GiveCamp (Lansing and Ann Arbor) since 2010, and keep coming back because it is the BEST volunteer experience ever. Sure they’re long days, some hard problems to solve, things to prioritize, usually lots of caffeine and sugar (I …
Sigh… KalamazooX is over. Most likely won’t be another one. Not sure what will be able to help me like it has now, but we’ll see. It’s not just a conference, it’s all of the people that I get to see. Sure I see them individually or in sub-groups other times of the year, but …
The last Kalamazoo X conference in Kalamazoo is taking place on April 21st of this year. I’m sad to see it go, but excited to see what it evolves into. I started attending Kalamazoo X in 2012, and I’ve attended every year since. It is a life-changing conference in so many ways! I’ve written a …

I was lucky enough to be accepted to speak at Targeting Quality in Kitchener, ON this year, and had a great time out there! This was my first time speaking outside the US, so it felt like a big accomplishment even though it’s just 3 hours from home. I only attended 3 sessions, including the …
Holy shit. Another amazing Kalamazoo X. This year was even more special because I was honored to be asked to speak. To be honest, speaking at Kalamazoo X was on my bucket list, but I never thought it would happen. It’s like the pinnacle of my speaking career. Doing a technical talk is easy. Doing …
Another CodeMash here and gone. I got in around 450 tweets this year – seemed like I didn’t attend as many sessions. Here are the recaps (via Storify) for the sessions I attended!

CAST 2016 was held in Vancouver, BC. This was my first time to Vancouver, but I love the Pacific Northwest, so I was pretty sure I was going to love it there. Spoiler alert: I loved it in Vancouver! I’m so happy I got to attend CAST this year, after missing last year due to …
Basically, Kalamazoo X 2016 was fucking intense. I’m still processing, I may have more to write later, but I had to at least Storify and get out some thoughts before the initial bits went away: https://storify.com/g33klady/kalamazoo-x-2016-tweet-recap I’m proud to help make sure KalX happens, and I hope to help make it happen every year. I need …
