Didn't see much in the way of migratory a marsh birds, but I found a big ol' lobster.

How I work with both an #RTO and updated #Covid outbreaks.

Game night at my house involves a break where everyone hold a baby #chick (trying to get them used to human handling).

Each of my chicks like to snuggle with me in different ways. Karen likes a heavy hand on her back. #hens #chickens

Bought some chicks this week. Meet Chickadee, because she reminds me of the blackcapped chickadees that live around my house. Oh, and I also get to use the puerile joke.

Biking through a field of weeds... Blooming Chicory, Cat's ear, Wild carrot. Only the purple flowers of the field bindweed is a weed. 😁

Here's a proposal: art is how adults play. From Brian Eno's, What Art Does: An unfinished theory

Picked up a new book this week. What Art Does: An Unfinished Theory by Brian Eno and Bette Adriaance. So far? Fantastic!

One of my favorite pieces at a show at Brassworks gallery in NE #portland. I feel the #art style we have here has evolved for LA's pop surrealism into it's own style I want to call whimsicult.

Found one of #Milwaukie Oregon's snail scavenger hunt. Fun #art that added a bit of #whimsy to my #bike ride.

Compiling is no longer the longest time in your development cycle, as it seems to be replaced by waiting for GenAI responses.

A modified version of XKCD's classic meme, Compiling.

It reads: The #1 programmer excuse for legitimately slacking off: "Waiting for AI."

The boss yells, "Hey! Get back to work!"

A programmer dueling another programmer on chairs with Nerf swords yell back, "GenAI!"

The boss responds, "Oh. Carry on."

The war in Portland Oregon is bad, folks. They're tearing up the streets!

When Mr. Rogers died, no one needed to explain that he was really a nice guy who was quoted out of context.

Pair programming with an engineer would was also vibe programming at the same time. What the absolute fu...

Randal Monroe's original XKCD block diagram entitled, "All Modern Digital Infrastructure", but a meme previously replaced a block with a wedge, but this image replaced the wedge with a jack showing the words "AI" lifting one part, showing how the AI will topple the entire stack.

At a "build day" with over 30 others for the #nonprofit organization, www.recycledliving.org where we are building a tiny home for #homeless using recycled plastic. Speaking in front of the first plastic panel made this week.
