I expected more bubble wrap, and maybe an armored truck?
I want bow making (not musical) - can we add that?

it's good for the momentary "omg mapquest is still in business?!" thrill when you do it the first time, but if you're not on an all-you-can-eat plan then I advise against it. :)
I pay for the annual sub and love it (except when I type in an address and expect it to return a functional map and it gives me mapquest)
he/he sent me. it's good to find small moments to laugh as society crumbles around us.
"I'm just calling to see what the Senator is doing today to prevent war crimes?" is not a phone call I had ever planned to make.
this is so well said

my favorite use case that I've seen is trying to do better blood sugar tracking / prediction
It's frickin bats. I love source map files.

The world feels particularly cruel right now so I want to say this again with my full chest.
To the amazing transgender people I know and love (and all those I haven't met yet): you make the world better.
Thank you for being you in an increasingly hostile world. We are so lucky to have you. 🏳️⚧️💕
Using this opportunity to talk about my really cool clock again

A system always includes the mental model of the people using it, the people, the tools, and the dialogue.
Numbers are scary because they change how the world affects people.
Show your working
Be correctable, not just correct
Extent existing mental models
Design for safe failure
I love when talks feel like they are being delivered for me personally. :)
Double-entry accounting as observability and verifiability for money is a sensational parallel.
“Don’t just be correct - be correctable.”

Video evidence of the time we ran around London @monkchips.com talking about all things #observability.
I love this video. It highlights that context is king, how you approach observability matters, and how to understand what you are looking at. Relatable for both data AND life!

One time @monkchips.com and I had an Uber driver tell us about the ways his family used "Chatty" and the familiarity and fondness he used to talk about the tool was eye opening
It always reminds me of the story about the woman who approached Picasso in a restaurant, asked him to scribble something on a napkin, and said she would be happy to pay whatever he felt it was worth. Picasso complied and then said, “That will be $10,000.” “But you did that in thirty seconds,” the astonished woman replied. “No,” Picasso said. “It has taken me forty years to do that.”
from an outsider's perspective, I spent 20 minutes this morning booking appointments.
but that myopic view erases the 6 months of avoidance, denial, and general anxiety it took to get me to this 20 minutes.
please respect my art.
