Years ago when I moved to Seattle a coworker who grew up here told me that if I used an umbrella people would know I wasn't from the area.

YESSSSSSSS

After upgrading to macOS Tahoe and iOS 26 I can say that while I'm not terribly impressed by the "liquid glass" look, I don't mind the general UX changes they've made with it on iOS. On macOS, besides increased border-radius of some applications, it feels fine.

Went hiking at Paradise on Mt. Rainier last week. Very gutsy Marmots and Chipmunks up there.

can leaf blowers be illegal just let the leaves be they aren't doing anything wrong

Spent the weekend at Orcas Island.

Photo of a cliff and trees.

Spent part of last Sunday at Little Si. Cloudy day but a great hike.

This app is very useful and I've used it a couple of times for timeline estimation planning and adjustments.

(Would love to be able to start the week on Monday)

I think I hit my hand on some stinging nettles today while running and AHHHHHHH

View of Mt. Hood from the Portland Japanese Garden.

A small waterfall in the Portland Japanese Garden.

A stone structure in the Portland Japanese Garden.

Fire escape stairs on the side of a building in downtown Portland.

Spent some time in Portland, OR over the weekend with friends.

Crow chilling near me at a park.

Two things I consistently do when writing rust after years of ruby: forget to put self in impl methods, and typing def before fn.

My cat, Missy.

15 years mastering the art of comfort.

A tug boat push boating a barge.

A very mid blurry photo of an eagle flying with a young heron in its claws being flanked by two crows.

Saw an eagle yoinking the herons at the locks this evening. Mid quality because it happened pretty fast and I cannot shutter speed.

A paraglider heading towards some fields.

Photo of a good looking dude (me) standing on a large rock with a scenic background.

Photo of a paraglider?

Went hiking up at Oyster Dome for a friends birthday yesterday.

Picture of a boat docked.

Trying to take the camera out more now that the days are getting longer.

Photo of a bunch of small birdhouses hanging on a tree.

@tuple.app so when do we get a soundboard? so I can rimshot for my very good puns.

Cherry blossoms

Went to UW yesterday to see the cherry blossoms.

Any chance all programming languages can agree on what keyword we use to define functions? and that it should be def.

Spent New Years in Gold Bar, WA. A few of my favorite photos.

Phase10 is the worst card game I’ve ever suffered.

I assume this was DRG even though it didn't make my top 5 this year.

Steam year in review spider graph "the kids of games you spent the most time in 2024" where "Dwarf" is the most played kind.

I play a fair amount of Dwarf type games.

I'm not sure it was intentional but the Psyker appearance and Syama Pedersen having worked on the episode as a layout artist seemed like a nod to Astartes.

I watched through Secret Level's first drop with my friends last night and they were all bangers. I started with the 40k episode (post-Space Marine 2 hype) but my favorite might have been the New World episode?
