Hey everyone! I want to introduce you to my incredible friend Lauren. She’s absolutely amazing and currently looking to meet someone great. If you know someone great (or *are* someone great), let me know! 💕 Let’s create a Valentine’s story for the ages :) www.facebook.com/share/p/1ajm...

As the Real ID deadline approaches, I want to thank the awesome TSA agent who let me through security with my Costco Card when my wallet went missing on a business trip. It had my name, picture, and signature, so they let it slide. (That wasn't long after TSA was created, though - so simpler times.)

Import of Twitter/X posts and followers complete :) sorry for the temporary spam!

On December 20th, 400 people including my dear friend Lauren, were displaced from their homes by a 5-alarm fire. They’ve lost everything. If you can, please help. Every single share and donation makes a difference. https://gofund.me/6c374287

@Uber_Support very not cool. Used Uber Airport Reserve for my car for Las Vegas airport tonight — had it reserved with my flight details and as I was walking to the car, the driver cancelled. *5 minutes* after we pulled into the gate. What happened to “we wait for 60 minutes”?

OMG I’m in a bank and I’m overhearing a conversation where the bank manager is trying to explain to someone that they lost their money in a WhatsApp messaging scam. It’s super super sad hearing it…

I’m a puddle. Y’all got me with this whole episode, especially that last few minutes. @DCDoomPatrol

I was born in the USA’s Bicentennial year. In that year, there were still *Civil War* brides receiving military pensions. In the hundred years since the centennial, we had a whole industrial revolution, two world wars, gained a bunch of states, invented the LIGHT BULB…

I love how every generation things they invented something. "@Netflix and Chill?" People in the old days were like "Opera and Corset."

Anyone else watch the little car on your ride share/delivery app and “backseat drive” the weird decisions? “They’re taking an awfully long time at that light.” “They missed the turn!!!” “Why are they going in circles!!!!”

Good to run into you again — on the seas this time! 🤖@puckmagic

TIL that the way @Uber Eats dissuades people from tip baiting is by not disclosing tips until after the driver has delivered the food. So my amazing delivery driver last night, who waited a whole hour for our huge team dinner delivery and messaged me updates the whole time …

It occurred to me today that @BLACKPINK’s “In Your Area” is the same as @Pink’s “start a fight”. Someone needs to do a mashup where Pink Starts a Fight in Blackpink’s area. ;)

Bono just dedicated this to Larry Mullen Jr. and mentioned @PaulMcCartney is in the house. This night is awesome y’all. #U2UVSphere @VitalVegas @LasegasLocally

Beastie Boys in da houzzzzzz #U2UVSPHERE

TIL that Areal Floods are a thing. (It apparently means “in your whole d*%m area”). Thanks for the weird weather notice, Alexa!

@LasVegasLocally @ufc

Please help help spread the word. Every little bit helps, even $1, will help keep this amazing human — one of my dearest friends — off the street. #GoFundMe #Cancer #Homeless https://gofund.me/15e1499a @VitalVegas @LasVegasLocally @GoldenKnights @FOX5Vegas @KTNV

This makes me sad to start seeing Tony’s downtown assets being sold off :( I’m grateful that I was part of the community revitalization and development Downtown. I’m hopeful it will continue and the new caretakers will have a positive impact. @VitalVegas @LasVegasLocally

Thursday, we went to see @OppenheimerFilm followed by @Barbie. Both theaters were packed (to the front row)! I saw at least a dozen people go from our Oppy screening to Barbie. The movies are excellent on their own, but this also feels like a “canon event”. #Barbenheimer

Just thinking about how happy I am to have been a teen when actual mixtapes were a thing, and to have experience the joy and anticipation of having given and received them.

Speaker friends: I’m writing a new *keynote* about pros/cons of AI, but it weirdly has to go into tech depth like it was a breakout. Since I need to make it light/engaging, I was thinking of making it a funny AI Walking Dead, where each section is about how to rebuild the world with AI. Thoughts?

Morning #KCDC2023! Come join me to talk “Maximizing the Power of Microservices for Scalability and Flexibility” at 10AM in room 2206. You know you want to! @kc_dc

@FedExHelp Is this how you’re training your delivery people? Guy doesn’t ring the doorbell, just walks up with the door tag and walks away. I’ve been waiting on this delivery since April!!!

Random question of the day. What was the last movie DVD/Bluray you got mailed from Netflix. Like, In the mail, from their mail service. I'll go: Speed Racer. I still have it. (I wonder what the late fees are on that?)
