  • I have a lovely cold and in the Daily Stand-Up today, the Product Owner suggested I sing “Smelly Cat” after the meeting. 🤣

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 26: Beverage

    Two stemmed glasses of mulled wine sitting on a tray, next to plates and a cutting board with cheese, crackers, and knives. The tray is on top of a black ottoman, with the head of a white dog staring at the tray in the background.

    I was never sure if Russell was after the cheese or the mulled wine but I know he was hoping we’d walk away at some point; he made a habit of stealing unguarded food. 🍷🧀🐶🤣 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 25: Flare

    Two giant firework explosions, one pure white, the other colored (red / white / blue), in the night sky, with a trail of smoke leading away from them and the city skyline of St. Louis, with the Arch, is on the right side of the photo. The glow of the city can be seen reflecting a little in the river below.

    Nothing like a little flare to brighten the night sky on the 4th of July. 🎆 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 24: Belt

    An iPhone 15 Pro box in on the seat of a car, behind a seatbelt.

    Wanted to make sure my new iPhone made it home safely, so of course I used a belt in the car. 🚗📱 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 23: “A Day In the Life”

    Collection of mixed donuts (some covered with sugar, some with sprinkes, some with a sugar-glaze, some with chocolate), four by three, for a total of twelve.

    Breakfast this morning; we’re visiting my Partner’s cousin’s family and as they took us to dinner last night, we showed up with tons of sugary carbs. 🍩 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 22: Road

    Broken electric scooter, lying on a brick road, with its headlight still on.

    Just a piece of rubbish lying next to the road. 🧱🛴 #mbsept

  • Drove all the way to Nashville to get curry chips at a British pub. 🍟😝

    Wedge-shaped fries on a circular white plate, with a yellow-orange curry sauce on the site, in a small ramekin.

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 21: Fall!

    Wooden bench in a park, with yellow leaves covering the ground and some on the bench. There is a paved trail in the background, with yellowing trees throughout the photo.

    There is nothing like the crunch of leaves underfoot as you’re strolling around a local park during the Autumn / Fall season. 🌳🍂 The only thing missing is a pumpkin-spice flavored drink. 😆☕️ #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 20: Disruption!

    Red stop sign in the foreground, with road names mounted on top: 'Rozier St' and 'Linn Dr'; a True Value hardware store is in the background, the parking lot right behind the sign.

    It’s always good to stop when see a sign, unless you want to cause a dangerous disruption. 🛑 Bonus points when the intersection contains your last name… 🤣 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 19: Edge!

    View of the sky and ocean, from an airplane; the ocean is a deep blue/purple below, with a hint of sunlight appearing on the water from behind the clouds, while the white wing of the plan is across the middle of the image.

    Any time I fly, I always feel like I’m at the edge of the world, especially when going over large bodies of water. This is the sunrise from my first trip to Europe, ten-ish years ago, flying into Amsterdam. 🌥️✈️🌊 #mbsept

  • Trying out the “Micropost” feature on MarsEdit…

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 18: Fabric!

    Projection of the TV show 'Seinfeld' onto a sheet, outside, during the end of twilight / the start of evening. The sky is a deep purple, fading to black, with some fairy lights strung up in the right of the image, while the sheet with the TV projection is in the middle, attached to the roof of a house with white siding.

    Taken during the first summer of the Pandemic, when we were all having backyard gatherings, the friend who was bringing over their projection screen couldn’t make it so we used a sheet instead. 📺😷 #mbsept

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 17: Intense!

    Person holding onto wire attached to to the rock behind him, on a trail in the mountains, leaning over the steep hillside off the trail. Trees in the back of the photo, long with the clouds and a view of distant mountains / hills.

    It was rather intense watching my friend pose for this photo, I was panicking the entire time but he really wanted that photo while we were hiking in the Smoky Mountains. ⛰😱 #mbsept

  • Really wanted to try out some of the new watchOS features, so I downloaded the beta tonight. It was taking a very long time but on a hunch, I turned off the bluetooth and bam! The download time went from two hours to twenty minutes.

    Screen grab of the Apple Watch, on the 'Software Update' screen, with 19 minutes remaining for the download.

    Happy nerd alert! 🤣

  • 📸 September 2023 Micro.Blog photo challenge. Day 16: Oof!

    Fire contained within a metal fire-pit, with glowing embers and a few logs with flames licking upwards.

    All I can say is that falling into a glowing fire-pit would result in far more than saying “oof!". 🔥 #mbsept
