Running this morning with lightning in the air definitely helped my times. Have not posted two consecutive sub 8-minute miles for over a month. Traveling will do that to you.

Congrats @cooper on the new gig here at @fosstodon! Honestly, this place is the best part of the internet right now and it isn't even close.
Had a remarkable day on the lake yesterday. Hoping for even more tonight.
Was able to look at the student surveys this morning ... overall not too shabby. Definitely see areas where I need to improve, but I'd be concerned if I didn't.

Ready for a nerd update?
My challenge of the week is to find a framework that measures where our IT dept is (as-is) and where we want it to go (to-be). How should we manage our IT so that we can best support org goals? What are our evaluation criteria and how can we measure our progress?
I'm looking into #ITgovernance frameworks, and what would work best for a small org. Stuff like IT Matury Models and ITIL.
So far I really enjoy taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. 🤓
Captain Pike Trek series? Yes please! https://youtu.be/OD6kUZwMOjQ
Combating a pandemic requires deep, carefully considered thought and responses and we seem to be poorly equipped to give everyone the space to do that.
I feel like our hyper-connected, social-media-obsessed lifestyles are a really poor fit for today. Dangerously poor fit.
And with that we close out The Great Correcting Marathon Spring 2020. Two courses done and in the books.

In preparation for POTENTIALLY deleting my #Keybase account at some point in the future, I've created an Identities page.
Keybase aside, it's probably good practice for me to maintain something like this on my own site.

If you would have told me a year ago that I’d do a morning run with my beautiful wife I’d have told you that you are crazy. However, she’s an inspiration and it is time to take my health up a notch.
I help out my kid's elementary school as their education board chair and with some other things ... but their tech guy keeps forcibly installing Chrome Apps and it is getting bloody annoying!
