Using Bluesky as a place to be grumpy and shout into the beautiful void.

Intentionally bad comic strip with two stick people and the following text in four panels:

1: I’m going to start posting comic strips on linkedin.
2: They’ll be about day to day things in the industry in which I work!
3: great! So the final panel will have a funny punchline, too?
4: No.

I managed to get in a midweek paddle on Wednesday and enjoyed a nice relaxing sunset in the kayak. #Berlin

Kids playing with clay: 'Why is it so soft?' Me and my wife:

The header icons are very often in the way of clickable elements. Very annoying. 4 decimal places, make it dynamic when the aren't required. Include a relative date filter on each page. Use page navigator instead of individual button for each page.

Did the person who built the Fabric Capacity Metrics report actively hate data visualisation, and was the result an intentional hate crime against people who care about user friendly report design?

1: Amazing punditry to state that you now believe a team in the quarter finals actually has a chance. 2: England will now get destroyed by Norway

Driving home with a car full of sleeping people after a day spent in the outdoors is quite a wonderful feeling.

Apparently you can now watch 'Banana ball' live on Disney+. I wont stay up for World Cup matches, but you can guarantee I'll be staying up to find out what the hell this is!

Enjoying a gentle paddle in the Finowkanal. I had a great time taking a friend out for his first time kayaking. Slowest paddle of my life, but a great day chatting on the water.

More fun recreating those random datavis posts on LinkedIn. #DataVis #PowerBI #Deneb
LinkedIn screengrab of multuple datavis (waterfalls, bar, and area), and the same visuals recreated in Power BI.

Kayaking in a sun protection hat, which repels both the UV rays, and my wife.
Picture of me in a kayak on a lake wearing red PFD, and a really awesome wide rimmed grey hat. Though my wife would say I'm wearing a PFD and a truly terrible hat.

First proper trip out in the kayaks. A nice 3.5 trip along the Finowkanal.
Tip of a kayak pointing down a canal, on either side of which are trees and bushes. A duck is flying towards the camera against a blue sky with scattered white clouds.I'm sitting in my green kayak in a canal, looking not quite 100% comfortable. Trees and bushes are behind me. My paddle is in my hand and my wife's paddle is hitting mine as she takes the photo (wife is not in the photo).

This is the most hilariously placed option in all of Power BI. It takes six clicks to set this.

Who will please commission a comedy about Linda Yaccarino's time at Twitter, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
