Welcome to my relaunched GitHub Pages site! It’s been awhile since my last post… late 2018, to be exact. Yeah, I sure am active around here, aren’t I? Well, I do intend to change that a bit going forward. Today I’ve relaunched my site with the following changes & enhancements:

• New theme which I believe is more readable
• Broken out projects into their own pages with navigation
  • And removed some projects which didn’t really deserve mention
• Added post backward/forward navigation
• Added sitewide navigation near the header
  • Also social media links in the navigation area
• Imported my Manager README into this site
  • Sorry leadership repository!

I intend to post more frequently than three times over the course of three years, and to post things of substance - my thoughts about management, leadership, technology, and anything else which makes more sense to blog about rather than tweet about.

I’m a part of the Rands Leadership Slack (which I could talk about effusively in another post). As part of my participation in that community, I came across the idea of a manager README. The concept is pretty simple - apply the idea of a software library’s README to a manager. How to deal with me as a manager.

I really liked the idea, so I developed my own a few months ago. I got pretty busy and never ended up posting it online. With a new hire joining my team here in the near future, I wanted to make sure I had it online for my new hire to read. Thus, everybody else gets to read it too! It’s linked on the Projects page, but just for posterity here it is:

Well, I began my GitHub Pages site when I saw a few other people had them. I’ve only really recently been doing anything in the open-source realm, so I figured I should have a landing page for open-source work. Then I got to thinking even more that I really needed a place online other than LinkedIn to express some of my professional and volunteer life. Thus, this GitHub repo and website were born.
