As a dude and a senior software developer, let me say unequivocally that I have no natural talent. Like, zero. Any skill I have is through effort, and I’m not unique in that way.

My, a bald bearded white guy, taking a picture of myself in the mirror, one hand raised in the sign of "#1", wearing a slanket.

I continue to live that #1 slanket life.

Me, a bald whte man with a beard and glasses. I have a big patterned scrunchie tying my beard.

I’m getting into a new look.

The crossing signal on my (very busy!) street is broken, repeating “Change password” over and over instead of whether you should walk or not. What a wonderful use of technology 🙃

Saw my roommate’s band Faith/Void play a fundraiser for Astoria Food Pantry. Great turnout and raised a lot of money. Give if you’re feeling it! 🎸
