2017

    I finally got my first house in SleepTown. Interesting app concept from the makers of Forest. Every house represents my persistence to achieve my sleeping goal!

    I wish 1Blocker had a built in system for sharing and subscribing to custom packages made by other users. Similar to Workflow and TextExpander. I know there would be packages I would want to subscribe and share.

    I’m still new to my Audible subscription but am liking it thus far. Think it will result in listening to more books. 📚

    Thanks to Jarrod Whaley I have a nice little Python script so I can easily update micro.blog without getting distracted. Now to wire it into LaunchBar!

    Looking forward to speaking at the MHTA Annual CIO Panel next week!

    AWS re:Invent Keynote 2017

    • AWS ECS for Kubernetes announcement makes total sense. Expected and good to see them adopting this.
    • The new AWS EC2 Bare Metal Instance seems like an RFP checkbox requirement. Or very rare edge case need.
    • Multi-master multi-region Aurora sounds great.
    • AWS Neptune has some promise to make graph databases more reliable and usable for applications.
    • The house band idea during the AWS re:invent keynote seems really odd. Skip…
    • AWS S3 Select sounds very cool.
    • AWS SageMaker has promise to bring machine learning to complex problems faster and cheaper.
    • AWS DeepLens looks like a solution looking for a problem. Cool tech, don’t need it at all.
    • New AWS Transcribe should enable some nice speech-to-text features in various applications.
    • 2h 46m AWS Keynote. Too long.

    Realized today that the group gasket and shower screen on my espresso machine is supposed to be replaced every year. I guess 10 times that long isn’t too bad. 😬 Replacements on the way!
