Hello world! (yes, I had to) Tiffany Broadbent Beker here. I've been in the web/digital/technology space for over 16 years, higher ed for 12. I'm director of digital marketing at William & Mary in Virginia. I'm a relatively new fan of D&D, and longtime fan of Star Wars, Harry Potter, cooking, eating tasty food and enjoying tasty beverages wherever they can be found around the world. Looking forward to exploring this new realm.

Hivemind question: We are using 's "Programmable Search Engine" (formerly known as Custom Search Engine). A particular search result is showing up in our results, and we need to get rid of it. However, when I try to inspect that URL using the "Search Console" (formerly Webmaster Tools), it tells me that URL is not indexed anywhere. If that URL isn't indexed, why the heck is it showing up in our search results, and how do I get rid of it?

Happy Pride Month to the LGBTQIA+ Community! Amidst the celebrations, let's not forget that this year, more than ever, the community continues to face battles for survival and acceptance. I stand with you all, ready to fight for love, equality, and respect!

Excited to attend my first this week in Nashville. This is a whole new CRM and realm of for me, looking forward to learning all the things (lots of projects hinging on this new knowledge await my return) and connecting with colleagues at other institutions. Anyone else attending? Let me know, would love to connect!

PSA, if someone asks you for contact info (e.g. a phone number) of someone you know, the correct response is "I can't give that to you, but I can give them yours".

It's efficient and adds no round-trips, it's privacy friendly, it's non-awkward and it's social engineering resistant. It's a universally good rule.

And the corollary, of course: Don't ask someone for another person's contact info - ask them to pass on yours.

As an amateur weather nerd, glad to see the service I use at the top of the list: wunderground.com (owned by IBM, btw)

Alrighty folks out there. Can anyone point me in the direction of resources that might explain where Google and Bing are getting different (and wrong) capitalizations of our acronym in results? SUNY =/= Suny and I can't see anything in what *we* provide that could be yielding that.

Beautiful 10-day sequence of Venus and Jupiter drawing together in the western sky. The variety of twilight colors is a sweet bonus.

As a followup from my "I'm not at Food52 anymore" post, I spent some time over the weekend putting down my thoughts on what kind of role and more importantly what kind of company I am looking to find.

As part of my last welcome speech as president of last week at the Winter 2023 conference at JMU, I encouraged attendees to “stop, reflect and learn” and, completely unplanned, our keynote speaker Matt Weber from UVA shared a similar message of “pause, reflect, do”. I’ll take it as serendipity that we both had the same idea, and am taking the message to heart by devoting some time to write out a few reflections and lessons learned from my time so far with CCA. tiffanyb.net/musings/2023/01/2

I am sad to say that I am no longer working at Food52 and am starting my search for a new role. My search is early but I know what drives me.

Simply put, solving technical problems and working with others to see them succeed is what brings me joy.

I am likely looking for a Principal/Staff level IC role at a company whose mission I can get behind. Remote-only. My recent experience is with Ruby on Rails, but I love learning new technology.

Any leads are appreciated!

Remember the sound of an old slide projector? A chewing gum machine? A coffee mill?

There’s snow on the ground where I am, reminded me of this flipbook I made into a GIF when I was a teenager.

Has anyone seen if MachinePix from the other site has made its way over?
