    “This is pretty much the sweet spot for a tech conference,” came the voice in the next cubicle. “Not so many women that we have to queue for the toilet, but enough to hand you TP if your stall is empty!” 😂🧻 And that’s how I met @TaliSoroker! #AWSSummit #AWSSummit2022

    In the 24hrs since Rodd left me on my own, I lost my hotel room key, gave a talk in front of 500 people, ate stroopwaffels in bed, and wandered the streets of Berlin listening to Taylor Swift. 😂

    @abertrotzdem Yep, have a big work event here this week!



  • Shared today on Facebook

    Today we did an all-day (6+ hours) cycling tour with Fat Tire Tours in Berlin. Nate led our group of 6 all over East and West Berlin, learning about the Wall and the history of the city while we racked up a good 25km. Highly recommended, especially on a gorgeous Spring day like today!

    @taylorjacobsen @_DiningCar Bitburger Pilsner!


    We checked out modern art at the Neue Nationalgalerie (my fave part was the Mies van der Rohe architecture), visited the longest surviving section of the Wall, and did a craft beer tour of East Berlin. #berlinhipsters https://t.co/7v2Rf4o6uE
