A big fan of hybrid working from work / life balance to attracting amazing talent. Read this recently, never thought about it so granularly but it makes sense.

“As soon as you’re on more than two floors, or don’t fit in one office, or are in more than one country, you are actually distributed.”

Sorry for all the repeat pics showing up, going away, showing up … Trying to sort something out between Glass.photo and Micro.blog.

When Twitter broke, I landed on Mastodon as a replacement. Onboarding was a little rough as was wrapping my head around the fediverse. Then Bluesky showed up, felt like a solid option but was missing one thing … people. That looks to be changing. Going to give it another go.

And this is why you always want a quality lens hood. Luckily this little fella took the brunt of it and the camera is fine. Iceland 1 - Leica Q3 0

“Someday I’ll be gone and you’ll be me, asking yourself this same question … ‘how will you carry on this legacy?'”

Heard some shit news today, was feeling pretty down and this, for reasons unknown, helped. As a fan of the the quality, craftsmanship and artistry of Leica, the video delivers. Maybe that’s part of it, too. A beautiful execution to be appreciated, even when things go south IRL.

Some throwback photos of office art from yesteryear. This is what happens when you find a conference room with two tape dispensers or a series of windows that have blinds that refuse to stay straight … and then add designers into the mix.

Going down a Prince rabbit hole on the YouTube and the idea of him being on Hot Ones just hit me and I can’t shake it.

This morning, I woke up to a gentle jingling sound … which happened to be Juno discovering the zipper on my hoodie. Belated #Caturday

Every year, we say “never forget” yet I think it’s inevitable that we will … but not today, not this year. 🍎

An afternoon spent at the local wine bar for a South American wine tasting followed by some mochi doughnuts … one hell of a good Sunday.

I am constantly reminded of how amazing our UX team is, both in quality of work and character. If you are a hiring manager, I can’t stress enough the importance of putting effort into the hiring process. Getting the right people opens the door to moments of delight and joy.

Dramatically lit Juno is very dramatic indeed. Bit of a late #Caturday post.

Got to see my first Premier League football match tonight in Philly … even managed to be the team I support, Liverpool FC. Amazing experience seeing Mo Salah score and lead the reds to a 2-1 win over Arsenal.

Great brunch at the local pub. Good food. Good beer. Good people.

Took some internetting and more than a little trial and error but I have Ubuntu successfully running on a Surface Pro 9 w/ touchscreen support. Always liked the hardware, just not the OS so much. Hoping it drives usage but at the very least, I get to learn something new.

Have it stuck in my head that I need to try installing Ubuntu on my unused Surface Pro 9. Feeling the need for something more stripped down and clean. 🤞🏻

An afternoon free of work and a break in the insanely hot / humid weather … perfect for a trip to the winery!

Such a serious little Juno on #Caturday.

Testing some navigational nonsense on the site.

Had this little bird feeder out for a few months now and this little guy finally found it. A few minutes later, Ringo the cat discovered the show and has been glued to the door watching ever since.

There is something so soul crushing about hearing your ideas parroted back to you as if they weren’t your own, alternate ownership implied.

First night of ‘24 that we can spend on the back porch with a fire, a lovely Syrah and A Perfect Circle. Great way to end a Tuesday.

This whole #eclipse thing is just the Solar System’s way of giving us a wink. Looking good and doing ok, that’s my take.

So intrigued by the Boox Palma that I ordered one. Showed up today, 30 min later it’s factory reset, back in the box for a return. Takeaway: the e ink display is great for reading content but exceptionally bad at navigating to it.

Dune Part Two was a perfect theater experience of sight and sound. See it big. See it loud.
