I had 12 minutes to get out of Atlanta concourse F, dash for the train, jump through the train doors as they were closing, and get to concourse D and board my flight to LaGuardia with 4 minutes to spare. But I made it! Will have to see if my luggage successfully made the transfer.

Welcome to the working week! Here’s the “official unofficial” list of tech, entrepreneur, and nerd events happening in and around Tampa Bay, courtesy of Tampa Bay’s tech blog, Global Nerdy: globalnerdy.com/list

I’m in Brooklyn Tuesday through Friday, then Manhattan Saturday and Sunday. Who wants to catch up?

My lightning talk next week at DevRelCon NYC, “The Market is Trying to Tell You Something” is about the DevRel job market. Many are missing its signals, like how Anakin Skywalker missed Palpatine’s signals, with all his “Sith/Dark Side” conversation topics. www.globalnerdy.com/2026/07/13/m...

And now people are just SENDING memes to me.

Here’s your regular reminder to always double-check any AI output.

This one was too good to wait for Sunday’s picdump.

Oh, poop. www.wtsp.com/article/news...

From Delta’s in-flight entertainment system: the “Family-Friendly Classic Rock” channel. Perhaps they’re unaware of the last line of “Start Me Up”…

I suspect a lot of power users are going to be mainlining Claude Fable 5 today, as today is its last “free” day. If you’re stuck for ideas on how to use it, I have suggestions: www.globalnerdy.com/2026/07/07/h...

I’m at the airport and have just enough functional Italian to express my opinion in terms Illy will understand: CHE CAZZO?!

TONIGHT! Time for TampaTech Taps & Taco Tuesday! Tampa tech people (especially at the intersection of #cybersecurity and #AI, like myself) will be there, and there will be free tacos, and even a raffle thanks to the generosity of the sponsors. Details here 👉🏽 www.linkedin.com/events/74714...

How I’m spending Juneteenth: Finally decided “Yeah, time to actually get my hands on Logic Pro” (as Karl Mohr has been telling me to do for ages) and learning how to use it by cobbling together regrettable chiptunes. Here’s my first-ever Logic Pro ditty, titled “World 1-1 Blues”!

My thanks to cinematic and artistic genius Chris Machowski for this Def Leppard-inspired DC34 (as in “DefCon 34”) cap! I won it in his challenge to name the band that inspired its design (see here: lnkd.in/ejt246eB)
