Not in any order, list is from me going through my entire spotify liked songs playlist and pulling the ones I'm most interested in. In fact, I don't even know if all of these bands are still touring or not.... If you end up checking any of them out and you like em, let me know! Mastodon or email, either work :)
Throwing this out there as I was talking with a coworker about the steps required to fry up some catfish. Since I already wrote it all out, I'll put it out here in case anyone else is wanting to try a fish fry! The text is lightly edited from its original format (read: a texting conversation)
This months IndieWeb carnival (and my first ever submission to it) is all about spreading the love. While there are so many deserving recipients of love in my life, for this topic, I'm choosing to point it directly to all of my friends.

I honestly have no recollection of how I learned this first fact. I'm sure it was while I was at my very first job out of college at a regional bank. Java 7 was what we used, and Java 8 was the shiny new thing. Every web-app ran on tomcat (no containers!!) with JSP's as the UI.
Not much ado to be had, this wasn't planned out in any way. I've been putting off thinking about the types of topics I want to write about and have been procrastinating pretty bad.
I've started learning React for my job. It's different, and early enough where I'm not sure if I like it yet or not. The world of web tech is certainly different from what I'm used to (Java). One of the first things that wasn't immediately 'accessible' to me was interacting with <form> 's.
