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.

A software tester walks in a bar and orders a pint of beer
orders 0 pints of beer
orders 999999 pints of beer
orders -1 pints of beer
orders a badger
tries to leave with out paying
declares that the bar is fit for purpose

The first customer enters the bar, asks where toilet is and the bar catches fire.

Every half, I promise myself that I’ll write my self-assessment early. Every half, I am made a liar.

The problem is that it’s a task for my benefit, and I’m never quite as motivated to serve myself as I should be.

Goodbye, Nicole v45—I’ve upgraded to Nicole v46!!

Forty-five was an action-packed year. I want to call for less action in this next year, but I won’t because my diary is an addict.

Still sorting out how to photograph this city. 🫤

@cederbs 🫂 I was in a very similar position last night, only I ordered a pint of ice cream instead of chicken. (In hindsight, I should have done both).

People have limits. And if everything is urgent, nothing is. At least, that’s what my brain tells me when it’s in puddle mode.

Apple has responded to our Pride theme by spotlighting Pocket in two different collections in the App Store.

I can’t overstate how much we appreciate that: making a statement like this invites a fair amount of hate mail; it’s incredible when a big player steps in to lend some support.

Pocket’s Pride-themed release is rolling out to 1% of users today.

This is the first of our themed releases, where we decorate the app inside and out with thematic colors and content.

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.
