Finishing our final day of Disney vacation on a bang! Morning in Epcot then Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom!
The Halloween fireworks over Magic Kingdom are amazing. View from Polynesian across the lake.

Epcot Illuminations was awesome.

Two urgent care visits in one vacation is a new record. (First Tyler, now me!)
Positive for strep throat.
Says a lot about Disney World that even Impetigo and Strep Throat can’t take the magic away! 😊👍🏻
Went to Disney World Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue tonight - what a blast! Everyone loved it!
Crazy how many people want a haircut at the Magic Kingdom.
- Sent hi-res photo of Infection to Dr.
- Reply with likely diagnosis. #easy
- Rx required
- 3hr urgent care visit.
- Get medicine.
Next time can I skip step 4 please? Health care needs tech overhaul.
Seems like every long vacation we take involves one of the kids making a (non-critical) visit to urgent care.
Any of them know how to build things? We are hiring! 😀

You can reach me using Signal, get it now.
My weekend project: cleaning and discarding on large scale.


Taking the pontoon to storage for the winter. Biking back to lake.

The Martian
Great movie. Very entertaining. As usual, book was better and the movie cut out a lot of stuff but still highly recommend.
Had a great time at AWS re:Invent. Learned a lot and invigorated with new ideas!
AWS re:Play

Holy crap Zedd! Lost my re:Invent badge while dancing — recovered it!


Zedd put the volume on 11 and never let up.

AWS re:Invent - Day 2
Good seat for Werner Vogels AWS re:Invent tech keynote. Looking forward to announcements!

X1 instance with 2TB of RAM and 100 cores? Wow.
Looking forward to doing some Python Lambda functions! WikiApiary bots would be perfect!
Now available, several exciting new Lambda features including Python support. http://t.co/JombWFWl0h #reInvent 🐍 pic.twitter.com/uBF4KOBkmi

Wonder if AWS Lambda functions in Python can use the Requests library? Yep, any pip module can be used in Lambda. Requests in this example.
AWS re:Invent - Day 1
Excited to hear Andy Jassy give the first AWS re:Invent keynote!

Amazon Snowball very good idea. Make it easy.
Would be equally nice to use Snowball to get data OUT of AWS.
Awesome to see MariaDB now in Amazon RDS! I’ve been running MariaDB personally for years and it’s solid.
Very impressive!

AWS re:Invent - Day 0
My room? Very last one on the right. Won’t have to worry about getting steps in.

AWS re:Invent busy tonight.

Go #TeamSPS!

Asking folks at AWS re:Invent about Mesos. #TeamSPS leading the charge with Mesos in production already.
Great hanging with some of the SumoLogic cofounders and getting into tech details. #TeamSPS doing tons with Sumo.
Great chat with Christian Beedgen! Thanks.
@thingles @sumologic Great dinner and special thx to Christian Beedgen, CTO. #aws #reinvent Sumo has been a great addition to #TeamSPS.
