🔥 OTel Unplugged EU 2026 is happening Feb 2 in Brussels (day after FOSDEM). No slides, just real technical conversations with the #OpenTelemetry community. You pick the topics. Hope to see you there! https://t.co/LQPYP038zR #OpenTelemetry #Observability #o11y #FOSDEM #DevOps

At #Monitorama next week? Don't miss a very special evening celebrating "Learning OpenTelemetry" by Austin Parker and @tedsuo! RSVP here to join Honeycomb and @observIQ: https://t.co/kBcOWeZVX5

Some stills from the film

Hey hey! I made a short film over the summer, if you’re in the bay come see it at the Roxie on June 3rd!

We've gone over time at the past few @opentelemetry End User Discussion sessions; it's safe to say you might find it helpful for your own OTel adoption and implementation! @tedsuo will be joining the AMER session this Thursday at 9AM PST. Zoom info:

In may, I plan to take a couple weeks off and make an *actual* short film. Will start posting details as we get closer. (3/3)

This is a scene from the movie "Nuts." We were using this script in acting class. I decided to try and film it; just to get some practice in around cinematography, lighting, editing, etc. (2/3)

And now for something completely different! Been practicing filmmaking with some friends. (1/3)

I miss you so much

If you're in or near Portland, OR, I'd love to see you at a meetup I'm hosting @newrelic 's office! @tedsuo will be speaking about @opentelemetry (+ more speakers!), and there will be delicious tacos... after all, it *is* called Techies & Tacos 😉

The four pillars of observability: tracing, metrics, logs, and drama

I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this.

Some great videos of the eruption on Mauna Loa here, thanks to @USGSVolcanoes
