DSM and Geocaching

Just dropped Emily and Natilie (2 international Grinnell College students) off at DSM for their holiday travel home. Ivan, our 2024-25 FIS student from Bulgaria, is with me for a geocaching lunch/holiday event at Pizza Ranch. After this a little geocaching then I’ll drop Ivan at DSM for his flight home and I’ll head for home before it gets dark on this shortest day of the year.

Time for a New Static CMS Approach

Wow, it’s been way too long since I posted here.  So much has happened, and been missed along the way.  Time to fix that and I’m going to start with a re-write of the Wieting Theatre website using staticcms/core.  Watch for a full blog post coming soon!

Improving My Azure Blob Storage

I use Azure Blob Storage quite a bit these days, at work and here at home. Recently a student I’ve been working with turned my attention to this post from Microsoft and this week I’m going to take a crack at putting it to use, perhaps in association with this blog.
