I’ve never fainted before, but I managed to do it twice on election day. I missed the counting, which was probably a good thing, and deepened a friendship, which is always a wonderful thing.

As to the election itself … that requires more words than I have right now.

I haven’t posted here as much this year as I would like. I pin most of the blame on the pressures of my employment, which have consumed my waking hours with such ferocious appetite that there’s very little of me leftover to write, and very little that I can write about other than the perks and perils of corporate employment in our late, great capitalist dystopia.

But here’s a cool jacket.

Went to my first bridal shower last weekend. Interesting time all around. The bride-to-be is the fiancée of a dear friend of mine going back to high school, which meant his sister, mother, and step-mother were also all in attendance—none of whom I’ve seen in 30 years.

Also, we won the TP wedding dress competition (last photo)!

I spend a crazy amount of time in this restroom in the building of my electrologists before my appointments, waiting for the topical anesthetic to soak in. I always block it off as OOO in my work calendar; I always end up conducting work over Slack on my itty bitty iPhone 13 mini.

I don’t like to edit my photos, so I had to lean on my red and yellow filters quite a bit in Ireland, where it was perpetually a bit gray.

There is photo with a hat on a head and eyeballs looking at your eyeballs. 

My first management hat. 🥰

@marcin not only is it San Francisco, but it’s my neighborhood! 🥰 I walk past this Cathedral every time I buy groceries.

The entire @pocket team is in town this week for an on-site. 🥰

For our first meal together, we rolled the dice and ended up with a royal feast. Like most teams at @mozilla, Pocket is geographically distributed; it’s so refreshing (and rare) to have everyone in the same place at the same time—a dinner like this is a treasure.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
