My two favorite perks of my new university teaching job: free unlimited Link card, and free on campus gorgeous work spaces.
I didn't realize how much my WFH brain was craving new, beautiful things! My home desk is cute, but doesn't compare :-)

Not nav, but more fun UI stuff from Google Calendar, now in DARK MODE (DM)
Guess what? If you copy paste from DM Calendar to DM Gmail (where text box is still white??), the text has black highlights!
But if you change Calendar back to light mode and copy paste, all the text has gray highlights!

My spouse has informed me that it's not clear that there is a wild bunny hanging out in our yard in this photo, so... bunny closeup!

Today’s effort to touch grass (literally!) involved walking around my neighborhood in Seattle and touching all of the happy thriving moss, which feels so velvety and calming.
Followed by hanging out in my hammock (yes, hammocks are awesome in 54 degrees!) with my new backyard friend.
