Having reached the northern-most tip of Japan, we now turn around and begin our return. In a week, I’ll be back stateside.

Going to move myself back to this cozy little account which lives on a server hosted by my friend, @pauline. Big instances scare me.

I thought I was walking across a snow-covered beach, only to realize it was a sheet of frozen surf five feet thick.

Maybe that’s a metaphor; maybe it’s not.

After being with Mozilla for a little over 5 years, I've been laid off today, alongside a group of some of my favorite people. So, I'm on the job market! I've got ~8 years #iOS, #Swift, and #ObjC under my belt, working on everything from libraries all the way through full user-facing features. So, I'm #opentowork. Remote (US), working out of the Chicagoland area. 👀 LinkedIn in bio. Boosts would be much appreciated!

I was walking Chibi when I spotted this California Juniper growing through a fence, alongside a dangerous curve in the road right after a freeway exit. I returned maybe 10-12 times over the month before locking down the exact time of the day for the photograph. When it finally happened, I had to enlist my roommate to act as a traffic monitor; she flagged incoming freeway traffic and warned the drivers I was standing in the middle of the road.

If Picard had been just a bit cuter, he could've been HIGHcutus of Borg

Recovering from a BBL basically requires you to spend your off hours LARPing one those overcooked hot dogs you see on the metal rolling pins at a 7-11.

I missed Russel T Davies as dr. who showrunner. That was great.

So I'm playing Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood and a pre-transition, not-quite-out-to-herself trans woman comes to you for help at one point, dysphoria hoodie and denial beard and all.

And gosh, do I feel awfully well-prepared for this.

(side note: the writing for her that I've seen *so far* is excellent. game has been great so far.)

Villeneuve’s 2016 “Arrival” is just ST:TNG’s “Darmok”. #startrek

Months back I got hyper fixated on photoshopping Keanu Reeves into those transit authority visualizations for light rail stations. I present you all with a few of my "Catch Keanu" edits

I found gay Twizzlers! ​:nyancat_rainbow:

That's it.

That's the toot.

Seeing family today? Want an excuse to get away from that for a little bit? Ask if they'd mind if you made their internet experience better.

If they say yes, go to their computer, and then download and install #firefox. Migrate their data from their default browser, and then set #firefox as the default. They'll be thankful!

And if they're already a #firefox user, then tell them Mike Conley (a stranger on the internet) is thankful for that. :)

A little disappointed the armed guards at the ferry terminal didn’t flag me for a bag check.

mozilla.social/discover list is just cool thing to go to for the quite time at the end of the day instead of all other places I used to go to ...

Drank last night, so puffy today. This means lots of stares on the street. 😑

The tolerances for passing are so fine, all it takes is a bottle of wine the night before to push the needle to the wrong side of the divide.

Or sugar
Or an edible
Or carb loading
Or hormonal fluctuations

Keep hydrated; do cardio; say no to ice cream; learn to live with it.

Showed up to movie night a little early. Killing time until I walk the last 350 feet.

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.
