Hello, I'm   Jason

Yesterday, Microsoft released a bunch of new Microsoft Surface devices as well as a few other products. Here is a list of the products they have announced:

Microsoft is holding it’s annual Surface hardware event today at 11am ET. The most obvious announcement is that Microsoft will surely release the Surface Pro 8. In addition, I’d expect a new Surface Duo 2 mobile phone, Surface Book 4 laptop, and potentially other Surface devices.

On Wednesday, I opened my inbox to find this:

Microsoft Ignite registration is now open. The website is currently very slow as registration for the virtual event is required.

I’m hiring a Junior Web Developer for our growing team. This position is for biBERK, a direct insurance company. We’re looking for someone interested in writing clean and efficient HTML and CSS. This individual will help to maintain our Content Management System, Intranet, and will gain experience in other areas of the business. While experience with TypeScript, JavaScript, SASS, and CMS systems are preferred, it’s not required. As with all of our positions, this position also offers opportunities for growth.

I’ve posted numerous times before about the 9/11 tragic events. Please take time to remember those that have lost their lives in the events of September 11, 2001.

Yesterday, Amazon released several new Fire TV products including a brand new Fire TV Stick and their first self-branded smart televisions.

Last week, we had announced that TechBash 2021 would be postponed. Today I’m happy to announce that we will be back at the Kalahari next November. Here is the full post from techbash.com:

I’m hiring a DevOps Engineer for our growing team. This position is for biBERK, a direct insurance company. We’re looking for someone interested in creating, modifying, and maintaining continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines within Azure DevOps. This individual will also help to maintain the Azure environments setup by the pipelines and will be using infrastructure-as-code.

Last year, we had to cancel TechBash 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, this year is no different. Due to the increase in positive cases in Pennsylvania and the continued threat and spread of the Delta variant, we’ve decided that it’s best to put safety first. We’re extremely disappointed in the fate of this year’s event but know we’ll be able to see you all in person soon enough. We’d prefer to be in an environment were there is little concern for spreading of the virus.
