It's that time of year again. Trees are lit, presents are being wrapped, and relatives are coming to visit. That's right, it's time again for the 12 days of Christmas-- 2022 ITB Video Release Edition! 

Today, Day 12's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 2 sessions on Soft Skills - I'm only here for the TShirt and What I learned about Mental Health from my Computer

For the next 12 business days up until Christmas, we'll be releasing a series of related videos each day on the CFCasts site for our Paid and Unpaid CFCasts Subscribers, and a announcement with titles, descriptions, and links to the videos, right here on the Ortus blog. Consider it our early Christmas gift to you.

We were planning on releasing the videos on Dec 24th, but we couldn't wait any longer.

Shawn Oden - I'm Just Here For The T-Shirt - Free

I've been a professional geek for over 20 years, but I still feel like I'm out of my zone. Technology moves so fast. There are so many things to know. Everyone is so much smarter than me. I don't know what I'm doing, and it's just a matter of time before someone finds me out. Or something like that. Imposter Syndrome is a problem. But it can be dealt with.

Dan Card - What I learned about Mental Health from my computer and its network

With all the conversations about self care, self help, counseling, higher powers, identity, defining ourselves, being defined, alone time, group time, isolation, introversion extroversion, no-traversions and so on, I found myself more and more thinking that it was just as easy to get lost and stressed by all the things you “should” be doing as it was to get lost in the “life stuff” that was causing issues in the first place. As I tried to untangle some of these things, I found myself wishing there was a framework or “meta” framework where I could start attaching concepts so I could at least have a starting point to think about them. Then I found one right in front of me that I used every day.
