Figuring things out as I go, including this new city I find myself in, and some furry, demanding roommates.

Otherwise, I marvel at the craftiness and craziness of the English language. "Let's eat Grandma," indeed.

Happy Labor Day!

Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work...

Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:

Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

FINALLY. THANK YOU.

As an Oregon constituent, I hope my senators @wyden.senate.gov and @jeff-merkley.bsky.social intend to participate.

Sometimes I think it's good that technical and UX writing now exist as a practice if only so that programmers don't publicly work out their relationship problems via help flows

Welcome to 2025. An "interesting" year to be sure, with some serious problems and issues to surmount... but it's also a year of opportunity. Especially for me. A new place, surrounded by friends, and charting my own course.

And kitties.

I've gotta say that both of these article titles are accurate, but one gets your attention a bit more. 😉

Her first day out of the bedroom after I adopted her, and she does this? Time to put away the breakable things. 🙂

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

Everything I learned, I learned from Captain America.

Help others. People need a hand up and respect and understanding and care.

THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO AGILE

1. Every project is broken up into five phases: Disco, Alpaca, Beatings, Live, Regret

2. Every project has a Delivery Manager (DM) and a Product Manager (PM) who fuel the project through their mutual hatred and constant bickering

He totally hates my guts. I can tell. (I guess that's what the purring means? I don't speak cat.)

The National Gallery in London is renovating its Sainsbury Wing and they’ve just found a secret letter from one of the original donors, sunk into a concrete column, saying that he hates the columns and is glad they’re being demolished.

sometimes i like to open up my spice cabinet and just stand there for a moment, staring at the variety and reflecting on how, from the perspective of most humans who have ever lived throughout the entirety of human existence, i possess unimaginable wealth.

It's never good that on the one day that you have to go into the office and meet with co-workers in person, you drop a chocolate chip from a muffin into your lap and get a brown stain on the back of your pants.

And this is why remote work is better.

It's notable that I still feel some amazed wonder about being able to share things and have informed discussions with my friends.
