Yeah ... I'm gonna miss this view. #CoderCruise

Every conference. I meet amazing people, learn about amazing ideas and projects, and feel inspired to accomplish so much.

This time, that inspiration coincided with yet another Namecheap prompt to renew domains I purchased 3 years ago for a post conference project I never finished.

When exactly did the post-conference funk devolve into paralyzing developer "I can't seem to ship" depression?!? It seems to happen every single event these days :-(

I have the most exciting vacations ... #CoderCruise

About to give my first conference talk in international waters. #codercruise #lowtech

This is the first post I've made to my #mastodon instance from another country. :-) I love technology!

I dunno. Ultimately I use the software and it helped build my career. But let's not lose sight of the fact that we're still talking about a tool here ...

Heard a rumor there's some stuff going on in the #WordPress community. As a frequent user I'm concerned, mostly about the communication and the public flaming going on ... less so about the actual content of those comms.

"It's like chaos monkey, but on steroids!" <- this is the most terrifying mental image I've had all day ...

Updated to #Mastodon 2.9.2 tonight. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this "host my own software" thing.

Can I get a do-over on Monday?

Mowed over a sprinkler this afternoon. Guess what I'm doing tonight.

Whatever happened to "don't be evil?" This decision is antithetical to everything #Google has claimed it and #Android represent. https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/2/20751353/google-auction-android-search-choice-screen

Also made some individual chicken pot pies for my wife's lunches this week. I guess you could say I had a productive weekend. #haventbeenabletocookinawhile

Went berry picking yesterday. Made a pie for my wife and daughter today :-)
