6 (Years). 5 (Major Events). – pt. 1
This is one of those posts that I'm not sure I should even write. There's been a lot of those as of late. In fact, if you were to dive into the drafts of KataNerd you would find 30 ideas just sitting in digital limbo. Some of them just a title and then meaningless splashes …
Three Years: An Eye-blink and an Eon
I moved to Madison three years ago. We were moving for my wife. She was a resident at UW Health and rocking out on the start of an awesome career. I was ready for whatever the next few years would bring, and had the feeling everything was only going up. I was right. And I …
#AWP20: Viral Interfacing
