I've reached my lifetime quota for "interesting times." Give me bland times. Boring times. Normie times, one could even say. Times that are both dull and unexciting. Load me up with times that feel stale and uninspiring. That's the good stuff right there.
Thanks @cassandra.bsky.social! And thanks to everyone who joined us last night for some drinks, chats, and karaoke! We'll see you all at @scottchacon.com's talk on Thursday and at the Waterpark party! #CodeMash
I just watched one of the GitHub cofounders karaoke “99 Luftballons” in German in a villa at the Kalahari in Sandusky, Ohio. This might be peak #CodeMash. 🤖🤓🎶

Not “I Want Candy” playing in the dispensary while the budtender is packing up my gummies. 🍃🍬
Week one is a wrap and I didn’t hear the phrase “drinking from the firehose” once! ☺️ Usually, that’s all I hear when starting a new role. I’m getting up to speed quicker because no one is pressuring me or making me feel stupid because I don’t know everything on day one. It’s so refreshing!
After a long job search, I'm excited to announce that I've joined Stack Overflow as a Community Delivery Manager! I'm so excited to work for a company whose whole focus is community and learning!

Let's get fired up for #HellIsReal with a vintage martial arts movie trailer. Be massive my friends. #Crew96 | #NorOnTour | #VamosColumbus

I have two interviews today, and felt the same mix of excitement and nerves that I get before giving a talk. I put on my Elder Millennial Girlypop playlist, and danced around and sang while getting ready like I would before a talk. Nerves gone! Energy up. Highly recommend. #UnhingedJobSearchTip
An old hippie with long hair and a Hawaiian shirt just drove past my house in a blue Tesla with an “Anti Elon Club” magnet on it. I love my little hippie neighborhood. 😂 #Clintonville
On the first day of Pride Month the algorithm dieties gave me Lady Gaga performing “Abracadabra” at a Rocky Horror dinner party while Wednesday Addams looks on in annoyance. 🌈💃🏳️🌈

I repeat It had better be chaos if Crew wants to get points out of this
This match is going to be chaos

The TechLife Columbus Spring Fling was a great; and I caught up with so many people! After traveling for a few years, it’s so good to be back in my home tech community and see that it’s still going strong! See y’all tomorrow at Stir Trek!
I helped launch a brand new product today with a badass group of Ruby engineers. Our hope is to create a lot more independent entrepreneurs through collaborative commerce. Distribution only through ads is obsolete. This was one of my favorite things I built. And it's free. www.offerlab.com

Finally got in for a long-overdue hair appointment today. She’s back!!! 👩🏽💻🌈🦄🤩
My favorite Super Bowl tradition is people complaining about halftime shows as they age. I remember our parents & grandparents complaining about Aerosmith + Britney Spears in 2001 and saying Gaga was “too much/too queer” in 2017. When did Millennials & Gen-X become the new boomers?
Today I interviewed several people, signed up for some tech events, scheduled a couple coffees, located a great pool of junior-level candidates, and discussed a couple potential recruiting contracts. It’s good to be back! 👩🏽💻🙌
Whether you love or hate the ⏰ app, it’s dystopian to see this type of message when opening any communication platform. So much for the freedom of expression (i.e. freedom of religion and speech) that we codified as the first amendment to our Constitution. 😢
Me at 6pm: I’m totally going in the hot tub after the teardown and final meeting are done. Me the moment I’m back in my room: Changing clothes and walking all the way there sounds like way too much work. That means it was an amazing week at @codemash.bsky.social! See y’all next year! 🤖
