Time for an #introduction here at Hachyderm! 👋

Based in Sweden with my three kids. Spent 20+ years building and operating stuff, and now developer advocate at AWS. Tend to talk and share about #resilience, #chaosengineering, and #serverless. I have a small collection of retro computers and video games, and every now and then throw game nights where we play C64, Atari 2600, or maybe a bit of Magnavox. I also enjoy doing minor home improvement projects.

I went hiking in the Ozarks on Saturday morning and stumbled on a small patch of frost flowers!

This is the first time I've seen them, and I was surprised to see them this late in the year. Frost flowers typically form during the first few hard freezes of fall when sap in certain small plants freezes, rupturing the stem and forcing water out. The water freezes on contact with the air and builds up into distinctive flower-shaped petals!
