Who spends hours at a local gym’s bathroom to dye their hair?
Alt text: A customer notice sign is displayed on a glass panel. The sign reads: "Customer Notice Dear Members, Please note that shaving and hair colouring are not permitted in any of the showers or wash basins. Thank you for your cooperation BETTER the feel good place" The background appears to be a clean, indoor area with ceiling lights reflecting on the glass. The notice is printed on white paper with the title "Customer Notice" in green text and the remainder in black text. The "Better" logo is placed at the bottom right of the notice.

I’m standing in front of the screen with the first slide from my talk - “Running Node.js inside your browser”, near a JSDay Canarias banner. I am half-smiling.

I was looking for some picture yesterday and found this historic screenshot from 2019:

Or texting from an excel sheet vibes
A still frame from Kelly Rowland’s music video for ‘Dilemma’ featuring a mobile phone with an excel sheet open. The cells read: “Where you at? Holla when you get this.”
