  1. I am just finishing up my latest Linux tutorial video. I spent the entire day working on it.

    I am getting better at editing. My biggest goal of this video is to remove the "ums" and silent pauses. I am eternally greatful for Kdenlive. The more I learn to use it, the more I enjoy it. It is very accessible. I have a lot more respect for professional video editors. You can spend many hours getting it perfect.

    One thing I am trying to remember as I continue this journey is from Hank Green, who popularized the 80% rule. Basically, perfect should not be the enemy of good. It might not be perfect by an "ai's" standards, but it is 100% human made and that is what counts. With that said, I learn something every time I make a video and I believe they are getting better.

    I really hope you all enjoy my next video! It should be up tomorrow morning around 10:00 am EST (-5:00 GMT). Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss it! Also, if you missed my last video, I took a look at elementaryOS 8.1:

  2. (2/2) As a white guy who writes a tech/biz textbook used at over 100 universiteis, examples like this can run under my radar but make a huge difference to students. If you know of especially compelling tech/biz examples highlighting under-repped groups, please share links/advice. Much appreciated. You will make an impact!

  3. After bouncing around on here for a few weeks, I think I’m gonna stay so might as well ping up a hashtagged #introduction

    TL;DR on professional me:
    - never practiced #lawyer
    - former first year writing prof turned #cybersecurity #infosec content writer
    - Loves me the #GRC with a focus on #privacy (see above re: lawyer!)

    TL;DR on personal me:
    - #geek with a love of #marvel and a definite #shehulk aesthetic
    - lazy #knitter who loves socks
    - totally ridiculous
    - #pierced and #tattooed
    - mom to two #doggos and a Teen, not sure which is the most feral at this point

    Come for the #compliance but stay for the No Fucks Forties content and ridiculousness.

    Rarely serious. Mostly trying to become a meme.

    Looking to follow #womenincybersecurity
    #lgbtqInTech and hoping to meet folks from #BlacksinTechnology #indiginous mastodon, and #asian mastodon

    Only following accounts that I can vet. I don’t have time or patience for bullshit drama.

    If you’re a white cis het techbro, you’re either gonna be really disappointed or really angry. See above re: No Fucks Forties.
