One thing we discussed during the pizza feedback session is that the speaker diversity was abysmal this year, but it never has been super great at unconferences in particular.

Long way ’round back home

Recommended reading and listening
I read it and had huge ah HA! moments. The (couples) therapy wasn't successful but I found it personally successful. Since then, I've recommended the book to lots of people over the years, along with a couple […]

Trying to put in what’s there

Sunday, after dinner
The light is gone. I may have overdone on pasta. I went out on the porch to catch the last hummingbirds, listen to birds and visit with the plants. Now that they're in their summer homes, sometimes t[…]
