Professionally I have been involved with teaching and consulting about business data requirements since I started teaching Matt Flavin's Information Modeling seminar for Yourdon, Inc. in the early 1980's.
Amateurly I have spent a lot of time hunting mushrooms, kayaking, clamming, crabbing, swimming and gardening. I had a stroke in 2017 which left me pretty much a hemiplegic. I still swim and garden.

Matsutake?
The fact that there's so many tech people against daylight savings time tells me that it's probably a pretty good idea actually.

I just beat the Guinness world record for speed-picking by 4 seconds!

Single-pin-picking, 8 differently-keyed, 4-pin, standard¹ padlocks, in 56 seconds.

And I did it while wearing a fluffy bear suit.

¹ the current record holder used laminated Master locks with no security pins, but I didn't want all the comments on my video to be "Master lock sucks" jokes, so I used Brinks instead.

@mikes Surely you must also remember the joke about how they buried Thomas Watson of IBM?

Hello,
I’m writing from the United States to send a small note of solidarity to NATO friends and allies around the world. Many of us here do not support threats or hostility toward other countries, and we are deeply scared (but not subdued) by the direction our country is heading. Our government does not speak for all of us,

I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. With care from one human to another.

Peace

I completed the first year of my adult life that I’ve been completely sober, and I couldn’t be happier. And tomorrow marks 10 years since I stopped drinking. I guess I’ve finally grown up.

A year ago I gave up the green when I needed to look for a new job. It’s legal in Oregon but there’s always a chance of a drug test even though that hasn’t happened to me in 25 years. I expected to start again but never felt like I wanted to.

If you feel like you can’t be happy sober, know it’s possible.

@andybaio great!
