Welcome to the Restock!
Updates and Changes
No major changes this month. One point of potential interest, for folks living in the Seattle area: I’ll be speaking about at Ignite Seattle on March 10, 2026, at Benaroya Hall. I like the Ignite format (20 auto-advancing slides, 15s per slide), and I’ve given Ignite talks elsewhere before, but I’ve not made it to Ignite Seattle before. Hence, don’t be like me and keep forgetting to go, come join us and heckle me.
