My thoughts on the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 dock
My name is Andy and I make lots of random stuff. Read more about me on the About page.
I've released a tiny little macOS menubar utility I use to quickly swap my SSH config files between different environments or use cases. It's called Sshwitch.
Side note: On this website, I am using the super-cool Input font for this site. If you write code and you want to use it for your code editor, grab it here: https://input.djr.com/

Games, videos, and activities to get kids involved in a science- and math-based adventure to learn and save the universe from evil cartoon characters (it’s hard to believe those cute little characters are evil, but we’ll just go with the story). 😉 There are multilingual activities, as well, FYI.

Technology is super cool and it shouldn't care who makes it that way. Women/Girls in Tech.
As a number of the resources I’ve shared here show, this one talks about the history of women in computer science, explores the gender gap in computer science, and roles for women in the industry. It’s a quick and easy ready with plenty of links to more resources.
The Association for Women in Mathematics sponsors a variety of programs and awards to encourage girls and women in the mathematical sciences.
This page has a lot of good stuff for women interested in programming and tech. The major sections start with “The History of Women in Tech.” The other sections include “Coding Resources for Girls and Women at Every Age and Stage,” “Resources for Women Already in Tech,” and “Ways Companies Can Make Equitable Changes.”
