Okay twitterverse. That’s a wrap on 2018! See you in 2020 … maybe.

I had an extremely fortunate 2019 personally (took a sabbatical) and financially (still made good money). I gave some of those $$s away: Cal, MIT, ACLU, SPLC, EFF, BGC, PP, Wikimedia Foundation, NumFOCUS.

Giving feels great! I highly recommend it.

Am waiting for the year that reInvent goes full Red Wedding, locking the doors and announcing that every attendee's product or service is now a forthcoming AWS offering. Or maybe that was this year?

[Joe Hellerstein @joe_hellerstein]

After much discussion of #datawrangling at @AWSreInvent yesterday, today we announce @Trifacta’s native serverless offering on @awscloud. Dynamically scaling, intelligent visual #datawrangling on AWS is here! Visit Kiosk V if you’re at @AWSreInvent. https://t.co/s6H3Z0X4zk

Batteries included, I stand with the Sudbury Four.

“The balloon prank required so much planning and technical know-how that it has to go down as the greatest in college sports history…”

If ESPN said it, it must be true right?

Again, thank you to the ‘80s!

33 years ago today (November 18, 1985), one unique tiger was captured by a precocious boy using a tuna sandwich. That was the start of one incredible series of adventures. Happy Birthday Calvin ! You are the Confucius of the modern age. Some things only get better with age.

I think I’m finally tired of the horse-race-style coverage of cloud providers. They’re all multi-billion $ businesses. Let’s start talking about how they’re different/better than each other, now and 5 years from now.

[Brian M. Dennis @crossjam]

And this was another good, recent podcast. Nice combo of tech dive and open source culture.
