My soul dog died a few months ago. I taught myself how to make inlaid rings so I could make myself a memorial ring with a bit of his fur. Goodbye, Fawkes. I’ll see you over the rainbow bridge 😭😭💐

I wrote a blog post about how I built a daily planning agent (called Todaygent, of course) that calls 7 different OAuth resources. I’m so confident in its access controls that I can tell it to delete all my emails or mark all my Linear tasks to Done without any fear that it’ll actually do it.

I cleaned my battlestation. I forgot to take before photos, but it was a disaster zone. Took me about 5 hours to clean it

Sneak peek at another diorama: nature’s revenge. This is actually done, I just have to compile all the clips into one video and do the glamour shots 🙃

Am I the only person who thinks season 2 of Deadwood is really poorly written? So many characters are just randomly dropped in (most of them just to be removed right away having had no impact on anything). I hope season 3 is a bit more coherent because season 2 is all over the place.

Finished my Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 handmade figurine of Monoco! I’d been looking at figures online and then told myself I should stop being lazy and just make my own. I’m glad I did!

I’ve been working on a handmade figure of Monoco for the shelf behind me in my office. This is my progress so far. #expedition33

To me, the very best video games aren't flawless -- far from it. They're the ones that are just so good that I don't care about the flaws. All of my very favorite games are flawed in some way(s). Except maybe one.

When I start considering all the flaws to just be "fun quirks of the game," I know it's going down in my personal hall of fame

FusionAuth’s @maida.kim joins @jazzsequence.com and shares her path through DevRel, why identity work matters, and how art helps her stay balanced.

communitycode.devKim Maida on Identity, DevRel and Finding BalanceWhen you think of identity and authentication, “fun” might not be the first word that comes to mind. But for Kim Maida, Senior Director of Developer Relations at FusionAuth, it’s a calling. In this episode of Community + Code, Kim talks about her journey through Developer Relations and how she found herself coming back again […]

I’ve been teaching myself fingerstyle and classical guitar. I’ve found myself improving by learning the same song multiple times, but in progressively more challenging arrangements. The progression is really interesting to see when learning this way. It’s very rewarding each time I “level up.”

The Minicorda’s first field test! It was pretty easy to just carry on the plane, and it’s so quiet I have no concerns playing it in the hotel room.

I’m on my third arrangement of Canon in D. That’s basically my benchmark song, because there are easy versions, hard versions, and INSANE versions.

The ultimate blocker to weekend productivity. So glad I cleaned the bathroom before sitting down on the couch. Ambitions of kitchen cleaning and grocery store now delayed indefinitely.

CRIME and BREACH are actual vulnerability names. You have to hand it to security researchers for coming up with such epic acronyms. CRIME = Compression Ratio Info-leak Made Easy (CVE-2012-4929) BREACH = Browser Reconnaissance and Exfiltration via Adaptive Compression of Hypertext (CVE-2013-3587)

As much as I appreciate the efficiency and productivity #AI lends us in our daily lives, as an artist and creator, it makes me very sad that I feel the need to explicitly take credit for things I make using my own creativity, skills, experience, and insight.

3/4 They were very well cared for, clean, spayed/neutered, and super friendly… we have TONS of stray cats in the country because people dump unwanted cats near farms (we’ve already rescued 3), but these kittens were obviously not strays.

4/4 They belong to the farm across the street (barn cats — working cats, to control pests). They patrol and explore the neighborhood together as adorable adventurers. We’ll definitely be looking out for them to visit again!

“Because the Victorian gothic revival style building is 143 years old, the mural will be removed with consideration for its historical significance” …uh-huh, sure, that’s totally why it’s being removed.

The Associated Press@apnews.com

A new mural by elusive street artist Banksy showing a judge beating an unarmed protester with a gavel will be removed from a wall outside one of London’s most iconic courts, authorities said Monday.

Episode 5 of Alien Earth was the best Alien movie since Aliens. (Though they should have kept the specimens in tubes made of whatever glass the med bay window is made of in Aliens.) But it's the first Alien content since the 1979 movie to give me the same chills as the original.

The suspense-building, the pacing, the corporate espionage, the horror... just outstanding. T. ocellus is both adorable and scary as hell. I love it. Can't wait to learn even more about it and all the other new aliens. I HATE ticks, so the space ticks horrify me on a deep, primal level. It's great.

What is going on with Digital Ocean #DevRel? They laid everyone off, then did a complete 180 and now appear to be hiring for all the roles they laid off (and the JDs look the same, they haven't changed to super specialized roles or anything). I really hope that anyone who applies asks them why.

TL;DR means "Too Long; Didn't Read." TL;DRs belong at the TOP of the post. Not at the bottom. If they're at the bottom, they probably read it already. Thanks for coming to my TED talk
