It's a weird feeling to find yourself at work one day, running https://www.pbs.org waiting for Congress to vote on affecting your own life so closely and personally. #PBS

If you’re wondering, the transition music has been by the fantastic Maribou State #WWDC25
I was just reading about Bill Atkinson passing away. The stories about him from ā€œRevolution in the Valleyā€ and his code for QuickDraw are a huge inspiration for me. One of my favorite videos is Steve Jobs running into him and Andy Hertzfeld at the iPhone launch. It’s nice to see old buddies just hanging out supporting each other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh0VNUwhSLM

Random #thoughoftheday:

When it comes to metric vs imperial unit, I never hear about how metric numbers aren’t highly composite. 12, 60, 360 are even ā€œsuperiorā€ highly composite number. They’re way more useful in ā€œreal worldā€ uses because they can divide evenly in more ways.

That said, any imperial unit that isn’t a highly composite number is silly (looking at you 3 feet/yard, 1760 yards/miles, 16 oz/lb and almost all imperial fluid units)

Finally, I prefer baking in grams and milliliters

@marcoarment I love the restaurant tech segment. I will also defend Wago wire nuts, they’ve become my go-to connector and are fantastic. To put your mind at ease, here’s a video stress testing them showing how well they hold up in different cases vs a traditional wire nuts: https://youtu.be/B1pmuRsf1co?si=m_hFUZq8ZVbXKxhQ

London Calling is a perfect album where every song is just so, and yet, "The Card Cheat" is perhaps the most exceptional song on that album. The band never performed it live, because the recording was so complex -- each part was recorded twice in a "wall of sound" effect, and it has no traditional chorus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Calling

It’s not about Katy Perry going to space, it’s about how billionaires rebrand luxury joyrides as ā€œinspirationā€ while real women in science lose jobs and visibility. Empowerment isn’t a press release. It’s opportunity, access, and recognition.

happy trans day of:
• visibility
• having a nice snack
• buying a trans woman a pizza
• logging off
• whatever the fuck

btw if you’ve been thinking about transitioning? this is your sign. DMs are always open.
