Fall really is here, we’ve hit CDT, Critical Darla Temperature. She WILL sleep in bed, she WILL sleep under the covers, and she WILL sleep pressed right up against you so you can’t move.

She doesn’t want to eat, but she guards her food (that the other dog doesn’t want either.) How is this comfortable?!?

Reading the UVA_EM feed this morning (awful!) and The Algorithm served me a borderline NSFW and badly mistargeted dating ad. Things are definitely getting better...

A personal favourite feature is finally here. Improve your security and resiliency with multiple MFA. Check out our blog on how to assign multiple MFA devices in IAM 🔑 #UseMFA aws.amazon.com/blogs/security…

Bad Guy by Billie Eilish_❤️ is very good for letting you know what a terrible job you did getting rid of that bass rattle.

Many years of engineering went into what’s described in this paper. It’s remarkable how your response to a challenge changes when scale allows you to really invest.

Well, I’m in Vegas again. If you’re around, say Hi. I’ll be easy to find Wed morning for SEC404: A Day In The Life Of A Billion Requests, but I’ll be wandering around all week. I’m the one in the AWS shirt.

If you are at #reinvent, stop by the AWS booth for a free MFA token. Just visit the Security and Identity desk. What’s your excuse for not using MFA now?

Home again, home again, jiggety jig. Vegas is still Vegas, but what an awesome week. It was truly delightful to see current and former colleagues in person, and especially customers! Now to fast for a month…

It’s 10 degrees outside. Fahrenheit, not real degrees. Darla won’t get out from under the blanket, and Abby won’t come in the house.

The bones of a giant. Sadly, the giant is Wildcat, which was a really fun wooden coaster. They’re turning it into a “hybrid coaster”, a mix of wood and metal. We’ll see…

This is what it looks like after riding Candymonium 9 times. After 3, I couldn’t feel my fingers or face, but I could definitely feel dinner trying to come back up. You’d have had to sedate me to get me on a ride like this at 11. Genes are weird.

Despite my lack of practice, I’m not getting any better at TIG welding.

It’s below freezing and howling wind outside. The pit bull (no fur, no body fat) is outside, and the husky is curled up next to the fire. I dunno….

When Benoit Blanc said "Oh my god! It's full of stars!".... *chef's kiss*

If you’re gonna drive to the office, do it in style.

Also in this evening’s news, my dogs treed a bear. Thankfully, no sign of mama.
