Re-upping this: we're very happy for the now-former line cook, who got a job in IT! But we gotta get Doug out of the kitchen. Please ping me if you know anyone who might be interested. Weds-Sat nights.

Maryland charges for fingerprinting?!? That feels a little outrageous

If anybody thinks this sounds neat: a heads up that the tickets are ~75% sold.

Just reenact the Girl Drink Drunk skit. The interviewer will be well acquainted with Kids in the Hall and your interview will be a slam dunk

I’m not usually over in this part of town, so maybe this is common knowledge, but the Roland Park school pickup hazards situation is completely out of control

Today's obsession: remembering as much as I can from the Hopkins x Walters Art Museum 'Beauty & the Brain' exhibits. There were two: one on variations of Jean Arp sculpture(s) and one on tactile perception of Renaissance statuettes Really wish this line of inquiry continued on

One month until our fundraising cocktail hour at the historic botanic garden.

Planning out another fundraising cocktail hour for my favorite local Victorian-era conservatory, and curious if anyone has suggestions for hors d'oeuvres or snacky things that don't say 'full dinner'. Times like these make me really miss Kinderhook.

been trying to be frugal and eco-conscious by getting clothes secondhand instead of new, which feels overall good, but having a real tough time with other people's detergents

I always enjoy watching actors specifically “act” inside a scene. Started with my first viewing of Mulholland Drive

Weird, bad week, but Late Fame will be screening at the Charles, so there's something good for the weekend.

A new guy joined my day job team, I instantly clocked him as a friend of a friend who stops in at our bar. In our intro chat I told him: it’s secretly the bar that UX helped build. I went into tech in part to make this dream happen. My worlds, colliding.

I faced up to the thing I’ve been dreading/putting off for years, and made a portfolio site. Yapping with a slide deck has seen me through till now, but I’m worried I’m getting filtered out of applications by leaving that question blank.

Saw a “lithograph” sell at auction for $275 that I am fairly certain is just a torn out page from a book. Scammy!

Hacked a tree to heaven down with a neighbor this morning. Very therapeutic to swing a hatchet when the opportunity presents itself.

An invasive tree of heaven plant that had been growing in a city sidewalk tree pit, now felled.

Biggest lesson for Baltimore folks: watch out for shared sallyports as your QOL may to some degree be affected by how hellish the neighbors might be.

The rowhouse next door has been a low-key nightmare for over a decade, due to terrible management. Now the BC rental license has lapsed and it's for sale - hoping someone less awful than the current slumlord will buy it.
