Day 5: Rubble. This part of the renovation is *fast*! Doors and windows are out; closets gone; cornice coming down; bathroom demolished; walls obliterated. I can’t wait to see it start coming back together! (They’ve set up a weekly meeting so we can see the progress.) 🏠🚧

Just messaged my colleagues: you’re lucky I like you enough to spend so much time on an airplane. ❤️ ✈️

My friend @mobywhale said yesterday that I had been a bit remiss in not sharing any of the Snook’s cooking lately. So here’s the homemade focaccia (with tomato and feta) that he made on Tuesday, and which I’ve been nomming on for the past couple days. ❤️

For my network in Japan – I’m incredibly excited to share that the AWS Developer Relations team will be growing! We are hiring a Senior Developer Advocate based in Tokyo, who will work with Shigeru Numaguchi and our other colleagues to support the Japanese developer community. I’d love to hear from folks with a developer background who are excited to inspire and teach others through blog posts, conference talks, videos, and more. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want more information, or if you have a candidate to refer! 🇯🇵

In case any of the Yanks missed it – my semi-annual Oscar contest is happening! Not many entries yet so your chances are good…

She’s everything. He’s just a monkey.

Day One: The renovation has begun! The builders made quick work of the old flooring, and they started removing doors and closet fittings too. (Don’t expect photos every day. We’re going to try to bother them as little as possible!) 🏠 🚧
