I had this thought too

It me!! I’m the one making way more money on Beehiiv! Detailed breakdown (including hard numbers) tk

I'm so glad it's going to be maintained. Such an incredible dataset. Culture, history, the environment all rolled up into one!

My course on Critical Data Exploration with Spreadsheets comes out this summer.

It answers some of the most frequent questions I get about ensuring your work is right, spotting errors, cleaning data, and showing your work in spreadsheets.

This is the first ACH conference since...2019 that I won't be attending and it's making me emotional?

See birb, draw birb. I don't make the rules.

Sometimes you just need to look at a bird with a group of strangers

A fluffy brown bird snuggled up napping in the sun with its beak tucked under its wing.

Finally went to Bryant Park to see the woodcocks and it was so cute and wholesome. A huge crowd of people there to watch the lil floof, all chatting. A beautiful communal NY experience.

A green cubicle wall with two letterpress prints pinned to it. One is a trans gradient that says Infrastructure is something we owe to one another. The other is fiery and says in black Technology is the active human interface with the material world.

I'm always thinking about @halperta.bsky.social's lineage activity and ways we can set visible reminders at work.

Very excited to hear more about this project

First volume was amazing!!
