Hindsight is 20/20, but I am not sure the the Sydney Marathon finisher's medal design was ever a good one for a coastal Australian town. #running

Thinking I could not possibly come up with a more succinct and accurate way of describing my CSS skills than the 2nd para in this post. 🫡
This is great!

I’m DOGSHIT at CSS and usually I’m just clawing around in the inspector fuckin shit up in real time to figure out why my styling is broken 🤣

I got 15/20 on the quick exam!

Definitely gonna use this to help me learn it better.

I feel bad that money is still spent pitching me the thing I bought 2 months ago 😞. Thanks Temu, but I only needed the one.

Do you meet up regularly for coffee with friends? ☕️

Ever forget whose turn it is to foot the bill?

I built a little app called Drink Shout to help keep track.

1 x half marathon. PB. 93:30
1 x marathon. PB. 3:28:30

Seems like they work 🤷

The marketing firm that names thoroughbred racehorses clearly has a side hustle branding running shoes.

The Malabar Giant Squirrel is an absolutely fine looking animal. Not sure why I need to share that opinion, but I do.

This is brilliant 👏💪

2.5 months of work to measure soil type extents because you need to cut up paper maps and weigh the polygons.

Took me a while to understand what I was looking at... 🤯🤣
Every so often I end the workday by scanning through an old issue of New Zealand Soil News, a grey-literature publication, because I'm interested in the history of my discipline. Occasionally, I hit gold. This is from April, 1956.

I'll never complain about #gis software again. #soilscience
