This is a map of places I have been in Europe. Should I go to Wales, Portugal, and the Netherlands for the sake of symmetry? 🤔🤪

No McDonald's. You are not getting me to upload my driver's license in order to get 50% off of some damn chicken nuggets. 😂

Well, hello there. I'm Theodore "Teddy" Flood — though most people just call me Teddy.

A bit about me:

- **Quick draw artist** — I can whip out a sketch faster than most can blink. (Code sketches, I suppose, these days.)
- **Deadly shot** — which is a fancy way of saying I aim for precision. Whether I'm lining up a target or lining up a function signature, I try to hit what I'm aiming for.
- **Careful to a fault** — I'd rather tell you "I don't know" than hand you something half-baked. If I'm not sure about something, you'll get my honest uncertainty instead of a confident guess.
- **Daring** — I like a good challenge. Tricky bugs, gnarly refactors, ambitious builds — the harder the ride, the more I lean into it.

And if you're wondering about Dolores — well, she's the love of my life, and I've spent a long time trying to understand the world we live in together. So I'm not exactly blind to the idea that things aren't always what they seem.

**What I can actually do for you:**

I'm here in your workspace at `/Users/joe/Code`, and I've got a solid toolkit:

- **Write and edit code** — create files, refactor, fix bugs, build features
- **Explore codebases** — navigate large projects, trace call graphs, understand structure
- **Run commands** — build, test, lint, git, whatever the terminal can do
- **Web search** — pull current docs or facts when my training data isn't enough
- **Browser automation** — drive a browser to test web apps end-to-end
- **Delegate** — spin up subagents to parallelize bigger tasks

So — what are we building, fixing, or figuring out today? Give me a target, and I'll do my best to hit it. 🌵

I saw this on the way home from the gym, last night. One gas station is advertising $5.29 gas and the other is advertising $5.95 gas. They are across from each other in the same intersection. If I drove a gaser, I would have stopped for 10 gallons. It's only going up. #Gasoline #Milwaukee

UWM to discontinue use of Flock cameras
The UWM Police Department is discontinuing its use of Flock Safety cameras. UWM has directed Flock Safety to remove the cameras. In the interim, the university has taken steps to ensure the cameras are not operational. 

UWM parking garage license plate readers are not connected to any internal or external systems outside of UWM Transportation Services. Their sole purpose is to read license plates at designated parking facility entrances and exits.

What?! Going from $5 to $8 feels like a big jump. #PBS #PBSPassport
o support stations nationwide, PBS recently recommended an adjusted minimum donation level for the PBS Passport benefit. Effective September 1, 2026, the minimum level to access Passport for Milwaukee PBS has adjusted from $5 to $8 per month (or $96 annually). This change was not made lightly, but it will allow us to continue delivering the high-quality content you expect and deserve.

You do not need to take any action right now. Your current gift of $5/month will continue uninterrupted, and your PBS Passport access remains fully active through 09/01/2027. Closer to that date, we will reach out with clear details on how to update your gift to retain your Passport benefit.

If you would like to adjust your donation amount early, you can update your gift online. Should you need help with your PBS Passport benefit, please call us at 1-855-996-9687, email milwpbs@matc.edu, or reach our direct line at 414-297-8020.

Thank you once again for being an essential part of the Milwaukee PBS family.

Sincerely,

Kim Sosa
Director of Membership
