WordCamp Scranton is coming together nicely after a bit of a rocky start. We have generous sponsors, a solid speaker lineup, amazing volunteers, and a pretty stellar announcement coming up.

Planning this event is taking me back to college, being on USPB and all of the details involved in putting together a big event. Stressful but fun is a sentiment I think a lot of event planners would agree with. Working with people and dealing with financials can be tough, but seeing things come together is fantastic. Besides, hoping people have fun is the biggest stress of the whole thing!

    So much for writing a lot this week! I’m hoping Sunday will provide me ample opportunity for reading, writing, and R&R. I’ve been kicking around lots of ideas for my seemingly defunct TIL Podcast. Now that I have a nice new mic (Blue Yeti – thank you Prime Day) I’ve gotten a second (third?) wind for…

    I checkin on Bluesky like once per day — it’s what’s replaced Baseball Twitter for me. But I also follow an account called Retro Tech Dreams, which is most excellent. It posts 90s tech, and every once in a while will share a Winamp Skin. Today it sent me down a rabbit hole to the…

    I did some rearranging in my office this weekend and set up a reading corner using our rocking chair and a spare side table. This replaces the larger table with all the tech, which is now consolidated.
