february i was not around much because of depwession. march i was not around much for a whole other reason: i've been writing my first conference talk since spring of 2019. it will be at causal islands in toronto later this month and it's called:

Condemned to Compute: How witnessing the last 20 years of computing tells me we’re going to be punished with at least another 20

it's my journey in doing something i never do: envision the future – in this case the future of computing. since the past is on the path to the future, i'm doing a retrospective of the last 20 years of computing, back when i began my own journey in computing officially as an undergraduate enrolling in a computer science program. and i'm using that retrospective to predict the future.

for a 10% discount on tickets, you can use the code SPEAKER10. and if you're in toronto, they're having an evening social that's open to the public where i'll be giving a lightning talk among other cool folks.
