And next month starts marathon training for my October races.
What yall been up to?
In the last three months:
- I completed my practical coaching assessment, studying for National Board certification in Health and Wellness
- I took on an Interim Head of Engineering role
- I’m down about 9 lbs
- I rebuilt my homelab. I’ve got about ~600TFLOPS of tensor performance on my ML server
In 10 days I head to the US East Coast for a few days. Will be speaking at A11yNYC on 11/19 and joining DMV-A11y’s social hang in DC on 11/20.
If you’re at either of this events, don’t be shy, say hi!

But it truly is earning, because trust exists on a spectrum, and it has to be cared for and maintained through shared values and communicated outcomes.
My end goal:
- be able to enjoy a lengthy, fulfilled retirement in a way my mom didn’t get to.
- freely pour back more into the communities that I’m a child of and that I’ve been welcomed into.
- wear “real” clothes as few hours a week as possible lol
As I search for a touch screen monitor for my smart mirror project (so much for "I don't want a touch interface!"), I think I'm settling into a nice UI for it. On this week's stream, gonna tackle calendar updates & notifications

I want people to post their opportunities/willing to be referral for people. Post if looking for opportunity. Let's help people succeed! Thank you

ATProto and I have a date this weekend. The goal? Play around with creating alt feeds and populating them via a tunable “troll” score.
namecheap.com freed me from my issues with GD at the time and I never looked back

Aqua 8s, Black Cement/White Cement/True Blue - I will always find a way to have a pair. Those and Air Max 95 OGs.

I own a couple of 1s, but otherwise, I’m an SB fiend lol.
So yeah, I don't know that I need much more (team already has written about their moderation approaches and tooling, so I'm optimistic / wait-and-see there).
The ecosystem did a lot on Twitter w/o a open protocol.
That said
- hashtags and ecosystem building out discovery features is going to be dope (and potentially do things Twitter can't)
- GIFs
- and I want to see what community conventions drive new features for interaction in this world, the way it happened on Twitter in the first ~5 years.
I'm one of those 2007 Twitter folks (*), so what kept me coming back was:
- community driving of features / interactions
- engagement
- spaces you can mix and mingle in organically
*mention because we didn't have hashtags, RTs or mentions for years lol. user convention turned them into features.
(using my inside voice - yerrrrr lol) what is one pair of Js you consider to be your personal classic/must have?
