Planning an event for @tinyseed.com founders/community and I'm glad that, because it's not a public event, I can use ridiculous illustrations like this to make people laugh.

Enjoy the beach in your suits, folks!

@tylertringas.com Hey, FYI for your email form on the www.bkup.nyc website. :)

Looking forward to this, I'm often in Brooklyn and love to rock climb (well, not well, but with much enthusiasm!) 🧗‍♀️

Feeling like Google is judging my reading comprehension

Does anyone else have a "junk drawer" folder on their computer desktop to hold files that you know you only need once?

Makes it so much easier to find recent files and also to keep things neat by wiping it out every now and then.

First thing I do when @robwalling.com has Einar (both founders of @tinyseed.com) on the Startups for the Rest of Us podcast is search the transcript to see if they talk about me.

Never fails. 😆

My spice drawer is no longer a dusty mess with thousands of half opened spice bags

Unreasonably pleased with myself

AND THEN I LOOK AT TWITTER

Alright 🦋🦋🦋 friends, you gotta help me win this bet

Oh no, I can't back out now, my bet got immortalized in the SFTROU newsletter 😆

UX bug report - I was searching for "ACH" in the search box here and thought it was broken (because nothing happened, enter to submit didn't work) until I realized that it just didn't have any results. Might want something to pop up for queries that don't have results. :)

I made the rolls in Toronto and flew them to California. 😆 Best hits of the meal includes the classic cranberry sauce in a can; cranberry sour cream jello (delicious); sausage stuffing; amazing turkey made by my cousin. 🎉

I thought to myself, oh, maybe I’ll pay for the local news of an area I’m interested in.

The sign up / credit card experience is SO BAD.

I almost want to email the newspaper to complain, so they understand how much money they’re probably leaving on the table with terrible UX and buggy forms.

In local Toronto news, our dickwad of a premier decided to pander to suburbanites by ramming through a bill to remove the three major bike lanes from the city. Among other terrible things in the same bill (banning lawsuits!)

I joined the protest ride today. ✊
