This is the sanguine expression of someone whose electrolysist is off taking her break. 😂

In all seriousness, I adore my electrolysist. I do’t know exactly what possessed me to take a selfie mid session, but I think it might have been because I was having fun in spite of the pain.

Been a minute since I worked straight through bedtime. Well, I guess it wasn’t entirely straight: I did take a break to buy boxed salads and visit the dispensary.

@Em0nM4stodon I think I'm wrong and right all at once but that's the fun part of saying shit online :blobcatfakeverified:

This photo isn’t quite up to snuff (it needs either a fore- or mid-plane subject) , but if I can figure out where I took it (random SF wanderings), I can start stalking it until I find what I’m looking for.

The lady who works on my skin asked me today if I’d seen the iPad commercial. 😂

Chibi’s first SF visit was a lot. But also a success.

@jonathankoren he seems affable enough in the film. It’s just that the film is a delusion.

Watched Blue Hawaii—the Elvis Hawaii movie—last night.

Another fascinating example of cultural drift, this one rises to the level of Dadaism.

Nothing anyone does or says makes any sense. Motives and mores that don’t feel so much dated as foreign. Watch it sideways, watch it upside down, watch it any way you want: it’s barely intelligible alien quirk.

Elvis’ makeup enhances this unwordly effect by reducing his face to the specular sheen of a Toy Story character.

More importantly: I came away. Now I’m sitting at SFO with a glass of wine and a boarding pass.

I just wrapped up a very short work week with a subset of my Pocket peeps. There’s lot of hard earth to till, and we definitely sweat for our progress, but I came away impressed and inspired by my coworkers. 🥰

Some ppl think I’m a man dressed as a woman. Surprise. I’m actually a woman dressed as a rubber duck. 🫰

selfie and also nightmare fuel 😰 

@courtney bravo. Bravo. ☺️

A/B testing is often misunderstood by bad product teams. You can’t A/B test your way to a good product or find product market fit.

It’s most useful as an optimization technique to drive more usage or nudge the user behavior you want after it’s clear users like using your product

Back at the house for some dog sitting this weekend and someone is protesting my plan to do laundry by nesting on it.

I miss you too, you little monster. ☺️

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.
