Pretty bummed I wasn’t on twitter OR masto to witness

My strange addiction: fidget spinner edition

I was so ready to fall asleep last night until I got into bed and started thinking about my recently deceased angel of a cat

Her name was Moose and she had a fat tummy

President Trump’s old tweets are really coming back to haunt him

mastodon instances only live as long as the owner/admin is interested in running them - and often running these types of things for a public audience is pretty thankless. idk, if you're on one of the bigger public or semi-public instances, thank your admin

My younger sister just got a job at that macaroon shop in Georgetown. Give me all of the macaroons

Today is great because the extra_recipe exploit was added to the mach_portal build on Luca’s website! I can finally stop trading unsigned code execution for occasional kernel panics!

I’m glad that staying on 10.1.1 has finally payed off.

It’s Thursday, so here’s some of my work!

This was a personal project that was a reflection on a trip I took to a research center on the James River in VA.

This type of project is the kind I enjoy the most. I was a fun challenge choosing the best paper and physical form to compliment the photography and wax rubbings I created. I was very satisfied with how this turned out, and it continues to be a favorite of mine!

A weird result of our recent merger:

The new employees previously all ate lunch together, so now the same half of the company eats lunch together every day.

Do your coworkers all eat together? I never eat lunch at a consistent time, so I’m usually on my own.

Here’s a fun thing:

I just paid $170 to have my MacBook Pro shipped back to the US after rushing thru the security checkpoint at Heathrow last week and leaving it there. Next time I travel, I’m not booking any indirect flights with less than a 90 minute layover.

Reply to this if you’re playing the new event on PC!

I need more friends.

I just drafted a perfectly subtle “Hey, why haven’t you great buffoons paid me yet?” email to a client that I did some freelance work for back in March

I don't know if I tooted about this before, but I found this webapp for Mastodon and it looks very promising: github.com/naumanni/naumanni

I resent the fidget spinner hate bc I’ve had a nicely-machined stainless one for like a year, but I am conflicted bc I also like spicy memes

Sometimes I feel just like a fidget spinner

Don’t use Google AMP

“Google AMP is bad news for how the web is built, it’s bad news for publishers of credible online content, and it’s bad news for consumers of that content. Google AMP is only good for one party: Google.” – thelink.is/google-amp-bad

“If I had my way, Mobile Safari would refuse to render AMP pages. It’s a deliberate effort by Google to break the open web.” – daringfireball.net/linked/2017

The first of many images that I'll post from the Spain/Amsterdam trip I just finished.

This was the sunset view from the rooftop of our airbnb in the gothic quarter of Barcelona!
