A bowl of shave ice

Garlic shrimp plate lunch with macaroni salad and rice

Kula Shave Ice Cart

Plate lunch and more shave ice today

A fluffy black-and-white sheltie stands on a sunlit sidewalk, looking up toward the camera. The dog has a thick, long coat with a white stripe down its face and wears a bright pink harness attached to a blue leash. Its ears are perked and its expression is calm and attentive. Green grass borders the edge of the walkway in the background.

Welcome back Darth! Tallie & I missed you

A mound of yellow shave ice sits in a paper bowl on a wooden picnic table, topped with a scoop of Haupia Cream and a drizzle of creamy sauce. A wooden spoon is stuck into the dessert, and another bowl is partially visible across the table. The setting appears outdoors on a sunny day.

A rooster and a chicken stand in green grass near a fenced farm field with rows of crops stretching into the distance. Behind them, dense trees and lush hills create a layered landscape. The scene is bright and rural, with a mix of cultivated land and natural greenery.

A sign titled “The Kula Shave Ice difference” lists features like local ingredients, homemade syrups, and no artificial additives. The design includes soft colors and stylized text, with phrases like “no high fructose corn syrup” and “earth friendly.” It is mounted on a light-colored wall.

first shave ice of the trip, complete with roosters.

Good night from Oahu

Not exactly a murder mystery but I feel like the Luna New Moon trilogy by Ian McDonald might fit here too. It’s got amazing world building.

Alastair Reynolds’s Halcyon Years which just came out. (See also his Prefect Dreyfus books.) Waypoint Kangaroo by Curtis Chen. kali wallace dead space. Places in the Darkness by Chris Bookmyre

I've been sick this week so I keep forgetting to boost this: Platform Decay, the next Murderbot book, is part of the Preorder 25% off sale at Barnes and Noble: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/platform-d... So is the trade paperback of Queen Demon

Your data is everywhere. The government is buying it without a warrant Data brokers buy up huge amounts of information from cell phones and browsers to sell for targeted advertising. But the government, including ICE, also buys the data.

No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

Island Vintage Shave Ice in Honolulu

my favorite in Honolulu is Island Vintage Shave Ice at Royal Hawaiian. I have a google map with other favs here (Oahu & Maui): maps.app.goo.gl/U5vqav3gsRYo...

on Oahu for the week so I'll count myself a Honolulu person temporarily- I mostly go for poké here but Golden Pork and Junpuu are good. 🍜
If you want shave ice recommendations, THAT I can definitely assist with. 🍧

Oahu! We managed to just miss the second Kona low, but lots of evidence of the damage here sadly.

DC-> home a few days in Seattle -> Hawaii and I’m definitely feeling the Cayce vibes

“She has a peculiar relationship with jet lag… as though her soul, in transit, has lagged behind her body. As though it were still somewhere over the Pacific, or perhaps in Heathrow, waiting to catch up.”

Lush green mountains with steep, ridged cliffs rise under a cloudy sky, viewed from a roadside lined with dense tropical plants.

A sunny beach scene with golden sand, turquoise water, and gentle waves; people relax under umbrellas near palm trees and a coastal resort.

Tall palm trees bend in strong wind beside a grassy shoreline, with ocean water and small islands visible under a bright blue sky.

We made it to Hawaii! So so so beautiful here.

Vegas is the only time I check luggage (for me it’s because of all the lockpicking gear really…) but it’s a slippery slope packing bow, I’m like “I am already checking a bag…” 😂

That said I would looooove a “let’s wear things we made” mini meetup at BSLV or later in the week 🪡🧵

Just like trying to measure lines of code for developer productivity, there are so many dumb ways to game this kind of measurement.
Find the good metrics are for productivity in your dev environment (features launched? Reports generated? Etc)

The sleeping one!!!

A very smart bi-black Sheltie sitting on a sofa by a white blanket.

I guess some things never change- dropped the small monster off at her dog sitter late last night, went home, fell asleep.
Welp, woke up super early this morning to a text asking if we had fed her dinner bc she was doing an extremely convincing “I’m staaaaaarving” routine at 10 pm 🤨😂

I almost feel like this stuff can be easier at a startup, everything is your job 😂

Awwwww!

Those are amazing

I feel this except that I don't think I've ever helped file an amicus brief. 😂

since it's National Puppy Day, have some 6 week old Tallie with her brothers

It's already happening. A woman who could not prove her citizenship was arrested and taken away by ICE this morning at SFO.

image of ICE agents in atlanta shared with me

ATLANTA: "I saw 4 ICE agents within 5 minutes just walking around. One had a 'federal agent' patch, one had an 'ICE' patch, the other two were not clearly marked...They’re in the mezzanine just watching us. Not doing anything that I can tell besides just having a presence...ton of police to help."

omg

A fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog sits on the pavement at a busy farmers market, looking very pleased with itself. Its mouth is slightly open as if mid-chew after sneaking a bite of croissant. White vendor tents and people walking by blur in the background while the dog’s blue leash trails in front.

trying to get a photo of your sheltie at the farmer market but she's just snarfed up a big chunk of croissant off the pavement

and people wonder why our field has so few women and why so few of us go to industry cons. 🤔
