Software Dev @Twitter. I enjoy building things. I think I would be a carpenter if I was able to undo my mistakes.

It is official, Twitter has let me go. It has been an exciting two years. I have learned a lot and worked with some great people. I am starting to get excited about my next position.

What happened after the purchase of Twitter really reminds me of when Chef was purchased two years ago. I think I got a better deal this time by getting laid off instead of having to work in the majorly changed environment and trying to interview with new companies.
I found out today the best way to find people to teach you how to do something is to do it wrong in front of a large crowd. Today I was training to enter my sea kayak from the water in front of a large crowd of people on a lake beach. I had three separate strangers help me.

I saw a sea lion attack a sea gull with an octopus yesterday! It was a good day for animal watching.

Some good news from our first day of #WhaleWeek! An entangled mother humpback with her calf was freed of gear off of Maui yesterday. To read about the disentanglement effort, click here: hawaiihumpbackwhale.noaa.gov…

I have not watched a football game for a few years and the first game I watch has my family’s team rival (Bengals) and I kind of want them to win. My Dad is going to be so angry at me. 😬

Throughout the workday I sometimes catch myself scrolling through twitter and start to think, “I better get back to work”. Then I remembered, this is my job! 😆

The way I get through winter is by reminding myself that I would rather be cold than hot. But I would rather longer days than shorter ones, so there is that.

It has been over a year since I left Chef and I still love using Chef Habitat. I just wish more people would post problems and solutions so I can more easily write my plans.

Xubuntu is the best OS for 2022. Great for software development. It runs more steam games than MacOS. It is lightweight, easy to use, and has fewer bugs than Windows and MacOS. I have been using it for over 12 years.

Thank you Proton and steam play, now I can play most of my games on Linux and I don’t have to reboot to windows anymore. Maybe I won’t have to upgrade my Windows 7 OS. 🤞

Watching Spaceballs while reentering the earth's atmosphere. That is a nice touch. #Inspiration4
