My birthday present from my wife has arrived. As always she has smashed it out of the park with something I absolutely love and would have never bought myself. And yes as always I couldnt wait until my actual birthday and had to have it early 😂 #Arcade1Up #RetroGaming #MortalKombat #ArcadeCabinet

Guess I won't be working on any projects today, folks. The workbench has officially been deemed a cat bed today.

A black and white tuxedo cat lying stretched out asleep on a large grey felt mat across a tech workbench. The cat has its front legs extended forward over the front edge of the desk with its head resting down. Scattered around the cat on the desk are various electronics tools, including an open precision screwdriver kit, wire cutters, and loose cables beneath a mounted computer monitor.

I need to confess something… My years as an Android dev and in DevRel weren’t really me. It was the small mouse that lives on my head. 🐭 He’s been writing the code, giving the talks, building the community. I was just the vessel 📸⬇️ #DevHumor #AndroidDev #Confession
