SharePoint Saturday San Diego 2018

Southern California in mid-January… who doesn’t want that? And a day full of SharePoint learning on top of that – and beer with friends afterward… can’t be beat! We were looking for something to do during January that wasn’t too far away from northern California where we spent November and December, because we need to…

SharePoint Saturday Cambridge 2017

I was honored to be able to present a session on Microsoft Flow at SharePoint Saturday Cambridge this year, on September 9… I’d never been to Cambridge, and I was especially happy to be able to reunite with my Lightning Tools colleagues as well! The event is run in conjunction with a SQL Saturday –…

PowerApps: Translator

I’ve written a walkthrough on the PowerApps Community Blog site, demoing the usage of the Microsoft Translator connection. I’m getting some use out of my “Quick Translator” app this summer as I travel in Europe!

South African SharePoint Saturdays and roadtrip

Howzit! I just returned from an epic month in South Africa, speaking about PowerApps and Flow at the three SharePoint Saturdays, and participating in the first-ever aOS Community roadtrip. It’s hard to find the right words to express how much I enjoyed the experience, but I’ll try… SharePoint Saturday Johannesburg was held on October 8,…

This photo was taken in November 2008, while trekking the 20km Tongariro Crossing, a truly amazing hike. You may recognize it as Mt Doom in the…

Going Nomad

Arriving in Second Summer

It’s been 6 or 7 years since we visited my sister L, who now lives in Naples, Florida, but with some Delta miles to spend, and with my other sister C and her family (husband K, teenage daughter E, and pre-teen daughter J) planning a Fall trip to Disney World (from Germany), we decided it was…

Journey to Apison

Our caravan of vehicles got underway shortly after 7 am this morning after Pastor Brad led us in a prayer… Well, not a caravan exactly… we were all following the same directions, at least theoretically [looking at you, Princess Tracy Lost… :-)], but we didn’t want to try to keep so many vehicles together. We…
