Decided to head over to Pomona for a Weezer listening party, because why not? #Weezer

Just wanted to point out that I have some cool neighbors.. #Hello

Got a chance to head down to the library for quite an awesome panel, including Jason and Samantha from @404mediaco . I was a bit late, but even so, a 1 hour timeframe for something like this is quite short. But even so, a lot of insight and nuance. Would love to see a part 2!

Stage at the Mark Taber Auditorium with four panelists sitting and talking. Jason, Samantha, Gita, and Dexter.

Sometimes, if you can't make it to PyCon, then a little part of PyCon comes to you. #PyConUS #FuckCancer #PuckCancer

I want to believe. #PyConUS (also, come to lightning talks)

UFO sending down a beam of light with stars and planets visible behind. At the bottom of the beam it reads "I want to believe". A person is on top of the image posing as if being "beamed up"... the image is distorted in perspective to give the impression that the person is floating.

I was a tiny part of a lightning talk by @ekohilas ... A spark maybe? Also, you should definitely check out the lightning talks this weekend! #PyConUS

Lightning talk stage. On the projector screen is a selfie of two men, Evan and me.

What does PyCon US have in store today? Will it be as cool as these sweet shiny ones I pulled last night during the MTG draft @crazy4pi314 hosted last night? They'll be hosting another draft on Sunday if you're interested. #PyConUS #MTG

I should be cramming for my tutorial coming up later, but wanted to post this real quick. See some of you soon! #PyConUS

View from second floor down to the registration desk at PyCon. Several people behind the registration area. A big sign behind them says "Welcome to PyCon US 2026"

Related... from a separate discussion elsewhere.

Screenshot from a chat: "I did some annotation for Google years ago. It sucked. I never got paid either—it was so difficult to get the payments set up that I gave up in disgust before I was done with the paperwork.

It's probably part of the business model."

Oh hey, look at that, I'm on an app... sort of? Also, you can download your PyCon US Mobile App to start preparing! See you soon in Long Beach! #PyConUS

I'll be going on shortly at #NBPy Lovely morning for a conference in a barn ...

I'm nearly done with my slides for next week's North Bay Python talk (barring all the last minute additions/edits of course...) Is it unusual to have a "works cited" page for a conference talk? 🤔 #NBPy

Opening slide. There is a barcode above all the words. The top line, in red, reads "AN ECONOMY OF".... The lower line is much larger, in teal, and it reads "EMPATHY".

Gotta leave Vancouver early this morning but had a lovely time at #PyCascades.

Street and lit up buildings at 4:30 am. Over oh the building windows has a blue neon light sign of an upside down heart.

I went ahead and added the new Mastodon share functionality on my blog :logo_mastodon:

Every once in a while, when you have a kiddo that loves to read, you end up at a cool book signing about an hour away from home, and it's totally worth it. #LosFeliz #LA

Had an idea. I turned in a proposal. I think you could too. @NorthBayPython

It's a cruddy day to have a birthday, but not like I have much choice about it. I am grateful, though, that I could spend it with my family at one of our favorite spots in LA (Kitchen Mouse). Warmth, joy, happiness in my vicinity. Sadness, anger, disbelief […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Always nice to be notified by my local library whenever a book I've put on hold is ready for check out. This weekend's reading: Enshittification by @pluralistic

Hand holding up book titled "Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly got Worse and What to Do About It" by Cory Doctorow, with a receipt sticking out reading "A.K. Smiley Public Library". A sidewalk, library and trees are blurred in the background.

The owner's uncle bought it new in 1984, but he's owned it for around 7 years. Apparently he doesn't mind talking to folks about it and was kind enough to let the kiddo jump in. She was (rightly) hesitant to do so, but couldn't miss a chance for the photo!

That's my daughter getting out of a DMC DeLorean. Thankfully, neither she nor I have aged considerably!

Got a chance to head to Ojai, CA yesterday to enjoy the sun and mountains. Always love stopping by Bart's Books, the "world’s largest outdoor bookstore." #Ojai

Bookcase with various books and ceramics against a wall and a plant nearby. There is no roof. Trees and sky are peeking in.

A covered area has a board with a lot of buttons and a sign that reads "Button$3". There is a sign pointing toward the Fiction section with an arrow toward a bookcase and another open area without a roof.

Small girl is reading under some palm trees within the open air book store. Shelves with books can be seen in the background, as well as more trees and sky.

Square shelving (3x3 grid is shown) with lots of pottery, mostly mugs, most with the store's name written on them (Bart's Books), and some foliage coming out from two of the larger ceramic cups.
