Peter here is getting admitted to the animal hospital right now. :( Wishing him a speedy recovery.
A brown and black tabby cat named Peter is lying on a veterinary exam table. He has large green eyes and is resting with his front paws tucked under his chest. The background is softly blurred, showing a modern, clean veterinary office with white walls and shelves. Peter appears calm but alert.

I was annoyed the BigQuery showed the total amount of data processed, but not a price estimate. So I made a thing. https://github.com/dannberg/bigquery-cost-estimator
screenshot of bigquery, but instead of data processed it shows “Estimated Cost: $0.07”

Google yourself and find your LinkedIn page search result. Is the site description as absolutely BONKERS as mine??
Google search results for "dann berg". The top result is dannb.org. Next is LinkedIn, which is circled in red. The description reads "A teacher who learned the tech world's tools and how he thinks you can also learn how to create apps and make something out of your life." Next is YouTube.

During the pandemic, Avi and I teamed up with Jeff Edmond and Alastair King to create a musical adaptation of Alice and Wonderland. Yesterday, I got to 1) meet them for the first time AND 2) see the show for the first time. It was so fun! Cast and crew did a fantastic job. 🎉
Program for Alice in Wonderland the Musical presented by YAYA Theatre company. Illustration includes a cutout of Alice next to a small rabbit. They're in the forest surrounded by mushrooms. The background is a giant clock with a tea kettle cut out, and a tree behind. The full cast of Alice in Wonderland, on stage, waving to the audience at the end of the show. Dann Berg, Avital Asuleen, Jeff Edmond, and Alastair King posing together. The writers, lyricist, and composer of the musical Alice in Wonderland.

In 2020, I wrote a blog post on my personal website about how I manage my daily TODO items. Yesterday, I got this email, unprompted. It made my day.
Email subject: Daily driver Body: Hey Dann, Wanted to drop you a note about your daily driver task management system. It is the only system that can be realistically implemented by people who have a real job. looked around and, as you know, there are dozens of "systems" but they only work if your sole and only goal is to keep the system running... or if you don't have a family, or friends. Anyway, I'm trying the analog route with pen and paper. It's day 58 and so far so good. I still go back to Obsidian every now and then though. Cheers, Luis
