    She was rather sleepy when I took this photo, we’d just been on a three and a half mile walk. 🚶🥱 📷

  • Finished reading: Bearing Gifts by Sean Fenian 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    A fascinating book, aliens drop by Earth, giving one person the ability to move the human race thousands of years ahead with technology. It’s very well thought out and detailed, especially the folly of human greed.

    My employer rented out the local Six Flags (along with other companies, it was a corporate thing) for an “employee appreciation night." The park was mostly empty, so we had our choice of rides, with almost no lines. Took this photo at the top of the Ferris wheel. 🎡 🌅

    The third book in the series, nothing much to say other than the story got even better and I’m excited for the forthcoming fourth book. 😊

  • I was looking at the about page on the Porkbun website and started laughing when I noticed they have a “plant” on staff. 🌱

    When Steve was a young sprout she longed for a day where lounging around in some office window sill was all she had to worry about. After spending a bit of time being sent from greenhouse to greenhouse she eventually found her spot in the Porkbun office.
    </br />

    As a plant Steve mostly just sits there and creates oxygen. She does enjoy a cool sip of water from time to time and listening to some good tunes but mostly she just photosynthesizes.

    Laughing so hard… 🤣

  • I totally forgot it was WWDC today… 🤣

    Taken just a few days ago, I’d just flopped onto the bed after work, with my kindle in hand…when I heard a buzzing in my ear and something smacked my head. I looked around in bewilderment and saw this little fella right next to me on the bed. 😊

  • Dear Microsoft,
    If you’re going to override default behavior on a Mac in Teams (like taking away the spell-check functionality), please make sure “your version” works. I find it silly I have to type out message in notes to paste into Teams.

    KThxBye

  • In desperate need of a “pick me up” and just remembered a friend of mine brought back some coffee from Hawaii. 🥱☕️ 📷

    Software companies don’t owe their users complete transparency, and it’s possible that there were extenuating circumstances in the transaction (from either side) that led to the lack of communication. But the inverse is also true: customers don’t owe software companies their loyalty.

    Using this as a good opportunity to try a new (to me, at least) menu bar utility. 🤣
