Lately

A running list of what's catching my attention. Updated as they come, refreshed every Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter. Only adding things I've already taken in, not things I plan to (trying to avoid this becoming a bottomless bookmark pit 🫠)

See something we have in common? Have a recommendation based on what's caught my eye? I'd love to hear from you! Reach out anytime.

Playing...

Shows, movies, podcasts, YouTube rabbit holes, songs on repeat

  • The Good Place [series]
    • Rewatching for maybe the 37th time and only occasionally wondering whether we're really in the bad place 😭
  • What are vector databases? (and why are they awesome 🤯) [video]
  • Tokens vs Embeddings – what are they + how are they different? [video]
  • I Feel That Way Too - Episode 1: Am I a Bad Daughter? [podcast]
  • Ghost in the Code - Episode 1: Foundations and Navigating AI Testing [podcast]

I lean towards songs with a positive message.

  • Co-Signed by God (EP) - Lamboginny [songs]
    • Lamboginny’s music is grounded in his religious beliefs, so if that’s not your thing skip it. I appreciate the positivity even though I don’t completely relate to the religious message
  • Sunshine - OneRepublic [song]
  • AOK - Tai Verdes [song]
  • Active Love - Cloetree [song]
  • Où aller - GIMS [song]
  • Somedays - Sonny Fodera, Jazzy, D.O.D. [song]
  • Try Loving Me - Anthony Q. [song]
  • Sunday Best - Surfaces [song]
  • All I Want - Praise Umali [song]

Reading...

Books and articles that have been holding my attention

  • The Engineering Manager Archetypes - Thiago Ghisi [essay]
    • I’m really curious about org psych related things, and this is right up there. And Thiago links out to explanations of other EM archetypes in his essay 🙌 
  • Quality Assessments using QPAM [book]
  • The Quality Coach's Handbook: Mastering the Quality Coach Role in Organisations [book]
