A couple of lifers to round out 2025! Both vagrants in the SF Bay Area and both spotted by @brittashoot.com so I could take photos. A yellow-crowned night heron in Sausalito last week and a long-tailed duck (without the long tail) in Alameda yesterday 🪶

In this cursed timeline run by algorithms, recommendations from humans is the one thing the internet still has going for it. My favorite first watches of 2025 were shaped both by explorations of filmmakers I knew, by recommendations from great writers and terrific research from @brittashoot.com

Today it is exactly 10 years since I started working at @slack.engineering. I've had the great fortune to work with some truly amazing people over the years and I'm sorry for the bugs I introduced along the way.
