I'm here to learn about tech and leadership, see some cool space pics, and simultaneously read the news while silently reacting in horror & disgust at this Earth's timeline.

For no other reason than the fact that the world is a stressful place, here are some cute pics of my dogs taking turns wearing a red bow. I hope they bring even just a fraction of the joy that they give me into your day.

While admittedly completely inconsequential and a non-problem in the grand scheme of things, forgetting to bring my headphones to the gym suuuucks.

Now that Christmas has passed, I can quit binging on terrible horror comedy movies about the holidays and return to watching terrible horror comedy movies about anything and everything else.

If you're in the market for some #css or #react course content, you cannot go wrong with Josh's work here. It's interesting, incredibly digestible, encourages learning, and is super polished. Go check it out while on sale (for only a couple more hours).

Me and social media are pretty fickle. You know what's super solid, though? Blocking garbage accounts before they trash this place up w/ racism, sexism, fascism, etc.

See the Newskies feed for first posts, and block garbage accounts from the moment they reveal themselves ✊
