I was recognized as the Pantheon Community Champion for October 2022. It was a surprise that I was nominated and work seemed to have been happy about it. It was an honor. Thanks to those that congratulated me on the social medias.
Starting Monday, February 22nd, 2021, I will no longer be employed at Iowa State University. Just shy of 14 years full-time at the university and not quite 20 years affiliated with the university in some way, I will be starting a career as a Software Engineer at Principal working on the Principal.com website.
I had a great time and learned a ton while at Iowa State. The people on my team are excellent, and I hope to stay in touch with them after leaving.
Only a couple of months after presenting on Tome at Flyover Camp, I finally made the switch to hosting this site statically as described in my presentation. I'm running Drupal 8 on Pantheon where I manage the installation and content, and publish static files to Netlify which now manages my LetsEncrypt certificate. All at no charge!
I presented "Static Site Genertion with Drupal and Tome" at Floyover Camp 2020.

I recently gave a presentation at the Central Iowa Drupal User's Group on Metatag in Drupal. Below are the resources from that presentation:
I presented An Introduction to Configuration Management at the first-ever Flyover Camp in Kansas City, MO. Below is an Apple keynote file and PDF with presenter notes as reference.
I presented 45 Modules in 45 Minutes at the first-ever Flyover Camp in Kansas City, MO. Below is a Apple keynote file and PDF with presenter notes as reference.
I often can't remember the name of a Drupal module I want to download and use. For example, I can never remember if I need to go to drupal.org/projects/google-analytics or google_analytics or ganalytics or whatever. I am also not satisfied with the search provided on drupal.org. So I figured out a way to put together a Search Engine in Google Chrome to do an "I'm Feeling Lucky" search on site:drupal.org/project. Here is the search string I used:
I've seen QR codes popping up in the last few months. When I first encountered it in the wild, I saw a 2-D barcode and thought why it was so prominent on the advertising. I've seen 2-D barcodes on other things such as my at&t bill that turns out to be some sort of reference number.
