Australia Admits All Those Animals Made Up SYDNEY—Saying the ruse began as a harmless prank about the continent’s mammals having pouches, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese admitted Tuesday that all those animals like wallabies, numbat...

I have 2 extra Lady Gaga tickets for Thursday the 24th at Chase Center. I purchased them for $1,054.63 (total for the pair). Please message me know if you are interested in them. Hoping to sell at cost, but open to offers.

I was surprised Swarm still had a staff. But the new design looks nice.

Downtown SF sounds like a warzone with all the amateur firecrackers going off… but we get none of the visuals because the fog is super thick, so you just see nothing but grey. As usual for this holiday. 🫠

Enjoyed the Delta One Lounge & Sky Club reveal event at SEA!

This is the first multi-lounge concept: 3rd floor is DSC & 4th floor is D1L. It’s open in the middle so you can see up into the other.

Thanks so much to Delta for including us. I will cherish this memory!

It’s a gorgeous day in Oakland. A vintage convertible Porsche painted with a mural goes by w/ 2 guys jamming hard to Bobby Brown’s Every Little Step. They see me smiling, & they slow the car down, point at me gleefully while singing & dancing, & then drive off. What a joyful moment!

Overheard in the shop:

Parent: “Look, a cute calculator!”

Kid: “What's a calculator?”

I seem to be keeping a track record of having met Drag Race contestants who make it onto The Traitors. @peppermint247.bsky.social, @thebobthedragqueen.bsky.social, and now @monetxchange.bsky.social. 😜

Happy Friday the 13th to Jasons who celebrate.

She is a big reason I decided to rewatch. Was telling someone about her being great in it. I wish she had pursued more acting!

I’ve been rewatching Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles. It aired 2008-2009. It takes place in 1999 then 2007, with flash-forwards to 2027 (2 years from now).

It’s interesting to watch because a lot of the “futuristic” stuff exists today (like AI being prevalent & deep faking).

Get out of here, buses

Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue squares that say R, Y, G, and B, in order of the rainbow.

Not sure when they put this up, but just noticed the new BART train color line signage.

Hello, “ROY G. BIV”. 🌈

Thanks for coming to see me! Always lovely to see you! 🖤

Dog walkers, please, please please do not let your dogs pee on an indie local business's sidewalk sign.

Come on, now.

Shout out to the kind @sfmta.bsky.social 38R bus driver who saw me running towards them & waited for me.

Especially when I went to tap & realized I dropped my phone while running & had to run back into the street to get it — & they still waited for me.

Sir, you’re a real one.

I love that Drag Race has been using ASMR Lover for their end credits song on the latest episodes. It’s one of my favorites of RuPaul’s songs.

I think they just started it. They gave Allen both his 5 and 10 year pins. I assume they will mail to those who weren't in person. Or maybe will give more at next event. :)

Same! I had to watch your talk on the stream to multitask some work. Looked later to see if you were in the web area. But I figured I missed you. Great job btw as usual! :)

Yep! I think they plan to share with us so we can post.

5-yr pin

Also, I got my 5-year pin! I would have been 6 years in, if not for the year I was a Googler. 😜

Me with GDE friends

After the layoff in 2023, I rejoined the Google Developer Expert program. Fast-forward a couple years, & I was invited to speak at the GDE Summit. It was an honor to share my thoughts with GDEs & Googlers. I am grateful to still be a part of this community, & the friends I have made.

Have a gloomy World Goth Day to those who commiserate.

I miss you Val!

So wild to me that MSFT Build and Google I/O is the same week. LOL.
