Libraries Lead!Episode 49 (March 2026): It's a Crime! And, that's an INFORMATION Problem.America's obsession with crime, from Serial to Investigation Discovery marathons, runs deep, and libraries are right there with our patrons, stocking the thrillers and hosting the book clubs. But in Episode 49, Dave, Beth, and Mike ask a harder question: what lies beneath every cold case, wrongful conviction, and uninvestigated crime? The answer, again and again, is an information failure. Witness statements that never get digitized. Rape kit backlogs numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women who vanish from official databases as easily as they vanish from news coverage. Algorithms trained on biased data th...

Acima DevelopmentEpisode 85: Leading with ConfidenceOn this episode of the Acima Development Podcast, VP of Engineering Elishia Williams joins Mike, Dave, Will, and Kyle to talk about her path from curious kid to technology leader—and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Elishia shares how her dad first sparked her love of tech by putting her “in charge” of maintaining the family computer, a moment that planted the seed for a lifelong career in engineering.

Acima DevelopmentEpisode 83: Outside-Work Programming ProjectsIn this episode of the Acima Development Podcast, Mike kicks things off with a cycling story that serves as an analogy for problem-solving in software engineering. Planning a long ride to Illinois’s highest natural point, he had to carefully map his route with handwritten directions before realizing he could quickly write a small program to calculate distances. The story highlights how coding, even outside of professional contexts, provides practical tools for organizing complexity and solving problems efficiently. This segues into the episode’s theme: the value of side projects as creative outlets that both challenge and refresh developers beyo...

Acima DevelopmentEpisode 81: How Do I Invest Engineering Time?The episode frames engineering as an investment rather than a cost. Mike opens with a parable: leaders who put capital (or engineers) to work create value; those who “protect” resources without progress destroy it. The panel builds on that: impact comes from choosing work that improves tomorrow—planning enough to ship, avoiding ivory-tower perfection, and recognizing that “cheap” talent can be expensive in management bandwidth. Good contractors and senior ICs pay for themselves by shipping and by freeing organizational attention.
They dive into technical debt with a pragmatic stance: prefer YAGNI, refactor when the change is hard so the rig...

Acima DevelopmentEpisode 79: Evaluating VendorsThis episode of the Acima Development Podcast focuses on the complexities of evaluating and selecting vendors, whether for software, contract labor, or specialized services. Host Mike opens with a cautionary tale about a vendor that initially impressed with a knowledgeable representative but turned out to have major security flaws, poor integration practices, and overall incompetence once the contract began. The group discusses how this mirrors a broader challenge—companies often get only a brief, curated glimpse of a vendor before committing, with little opportunity to see the full team’s capabilities. This leads to a conversation about the importance of s...

We don’t seem to be able to escape increasing polarization and the division into rival groups identified by politics and worldviews as well as the demonization of the other side. Is this the new normal? Even for libraries and public service? Is everything to be defined or viewed through a political lens? through a political identity?

Data can be dangerous–particularly in the hands of corporations, governments, hackers, scammers, & even well-intentioned non-profits, public service providers, and even libraries and librarians. Public libraries monitor patrons on social media to market services to better “meet needs.” School libraries create student Google profiles and capture user data. Academic libraries seek to address mental health issues identified through analysis of user data. We understand the well-meaning intentions to help. But do we really wa...

Will everyone simply return to their offices, businesses, and schools as if nothing has changed? Or has the lockdown been a catalyst for reconsidering location, work-home balance, and the trade-offs of physical vs. virtual work. And, what about the accompanying effects on the environment, transportation (commuting and traffic), health (physical and mental), and social interaction. Is hybrid – blended physical and virtual – the new normal?

Coincidentally, today's podcast topic is something that I'm in the best position to talk about - selling on Amazon Canada. If the accent isn't a giveaway already, I am Canadian myself and currently running my business out of Vancouver. So, let's start off with a question. Should you be selling in Canada? The answer to this is of course relative. But, if you are living in the United States, then Canada would technically be the "lowest hanging fruit"...

We end up where we always do: talking about the facial hair of the Golden State Warriors and accusing each other of various degrees of political incorrectness.
