2026
so … what’s going on?
we’ve been splitting our time between minneapolis and duluth for the past year or so. duluth has been a decided injection of balance into my life. forget portland, the spirit of the 90s lives in duluth. flannel is always in season, the mountain biking is great, there’s skiing in every neighborhood. it’s just far enough behind the times to make it quaint. in minneapolis, it’s been a long couple of months of what i can only describe as an occupation. this has made the winter feel incredibly long.
i’m doing a stint on the board at NANOG. i’m just filling in for someone who needed to step down. there will be elections at the end of this year for the seat i’m currently occupying.
i’m still working at nexthop ai - doing whatever. it’s been a little over a year now. more networking for hyperscalers. i’ll point you at the linkedins if you have a burning desire to see all the glorious things we’re doing in the interests of our future AI overlords. it’s a living and it’s sucking up lots of mental energy.
i’m trying to find the time to learn to play the guitar. it’s not going well. i’m clearly prioritizing the wrong things.
