Over the last few months, I've completely rebuilt my consulting business to produce online events. Next up, I'm excited to announce that I've been leading production on this year's @duolingo Duocon: duolingo.com/duocon

I don’t read much poetry nowadays. Fortunately, I have some unread poetry books - namely Audre Lorde’s collection. I might try to read at least three poems a day from the book (adjusting on load / interest). There’s a few hundred so that’s like a month or so if I end up speeding up.

Super super into Clarissa Connelly’s ‘Tech Duinn,’ a stunning collection of folk-synth-pop overflowing with juxtaposed synth/analog strings, Celtic mythology, layered vocals. RIYL Enya, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Kara-Lis Coverdale. clarissaconnelly.bandcamp.com/album/tech-dui…
So, Ruby 3. It's almost here. Anyone planning any cool celebrations of any sorts when it comes out this Christmas? I'd love to see a big PR splash from numerous angles make it clear that Ruby is alive, vibrant, and raring to go far into the future. Get to #1 on Hacker News!

I just heard a toilet flush during a live congressional hearing with the Postmaster General. Congress needs someone to manage the mute button during these hearings!

Time to start the week even though we are tangled up in eternal Caturday.

OPB’s @Rjaellis’ piece on the last three months of protests is a must-read. This particular statement from @tedwheeler reflects an unconscionable disregard for the demands of these protests and shows how little he has learned. Absolutely disgraceful. opb.org/article/2020/0…
An update on what's next for @bridgetownrb (screenshot from Discord chat) TL;DR: our next release will be smaller enhancements/bugfixes/performance-focused. Chime in if there's any particular area of improvement you would like to see!
This new game/sketch by @milanimalism is really lovely: control a "maple copter" as it floats to the ground! milanimal.itch.io/copter
Humbled and honored to have won the audience's favor against @JeffBryanDavis & @laurenpritch with @Mangum1 in #ujokes last Friday. Here’s the history-making moment: youtu.be/uSpYXw1NCRA?t=…

As announced over a week ago, @Mozilla had a “significant reduction in our workforce by approximately 250 people” https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2020/08/11/changing-world-changing-mozilla/

See https://talentdirectory.mozilla.org/ and #MozillaLifeBoat for amazing people.

I worked directly with many of these individuals and am sad to see them go.

I’ve ignored my LinkedIn for many years; will be logging in to connect with Mozillians, and helping to make introductions.

New post: Plaidophile: The sorry state of medication reminder software beesbuzz.biz/blog/5771-The-… I use an app called Medisafe to give me my medication reminders. It’s useful because it tracks my doses and also tracks how much I have left so I know when to order refills and so on…
