Yesterday's Enterprise (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 3) was broadcasted for the first time 34 years ago today. Happy anniversary to the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C!
Art by Rick Sternbach who, like Andrew Probert before him, has tried to imagine the missing link between the Enterprise B and D designs:
Asahikawa was full of surprises. We had a wonderful yakiniku mutton meal at Chinngis Khan, after which we stumbled into drinks with a friendly hostess and high school teacher at Café Nan. From there a gay bar, Ciel, where had a round or two before a representative of the nearby trans bar came to collect us. We made it back to our hotel before 0500, and negotiated a 1400 check-out, which we barely managed.
Going to move myself back to this cozy little account which lives on a server hosted by my friend, @pauline. Big instances scare me.
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.
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.)
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. :)
