I really just want to touch grass. 🏳️🌈 y’all means all. wears many hats, literally and figuratively at developer-focused startups. sometimes I write code and talk sports. Tu lucha es mi lucha. all my own opinions. she/her 👩💻Product @netlify.com 📍Austin, TX
Astros lost in extra innings, but at least it was my first exciting in-person extra innings game
Pedernales River… that also seems real bad 😬 I hope everyone downstream is ready for that. the flow rate is usually under 200.
okay this isn’t even high standards, this is just being lazy 😫 this was painted today!
bird mic stopped recording today for the first time 😢 but we are back. just in case you want to know what cicadas look like on a spectrogram:
from two weeks ago in Yosemite: A cloud on Clouds Rest, next to Half Dome at sunset as seen from Glacier Point ☁️
I'm not entirely convinced there's a belted kingfisher around. I worry that the detection is getting confused with cicades when I listen to the recordings. I need a belted kingfisher expert.
how many hats are too many? asking for a friend. 👀 (I'm cleaning out!) missing a few because I am washing them.
7.3 miles and 2.3k ft in elevation today in what feels like to me 90F 🥵 because there were zero clouds in the sky and higher elevation in Yosemite but I love gay nature! 🌈 (many more/better pics later)
very niche gardening post: if you ever have the thought to re-weave your Florida weave when growing tomatoes because it is collapsing under the weight of the 🍅🌱, just don't. 😅 picked some tonight before I took it down and it was so hard to get it back up. at least I've picked over 150 this season.
wanna know something cool? my raspberry pi running birdnet has already detected 402 birds calls today and 16 species. and the day isn't even over! I crammed the mic into between my window and window screen and managed to fulling close the window with the raspberry pi inside.
oh hell yeah x2 I don't know why it wasn't picking up the birds before this, but maybe adding the lat/long helped?
Yoda is trying to tell the cows to move, what she was born to do
went to a minor league game tonight with someone who was one of my first friends when I moved schools in the 5th grade and haven’t seen in like 15 years 🥰 10/10 Austin sunset and a win
Here's an example from my very low volume personal site that is not optimized in any way that it should be 😅
I think it’s a good day for this shirt in Texas after yesterday to remind folks that our politicians do not represent all Texans ❤️ (shirt from www.instagram.com/emsbrynart who takes second hand shirts and screen prints on top of them with their designs)
there's so much yellow coreopsis right now blooming in the Llano and Enchanted Rock area. I've never seen so much before. we did a 5 mile hike out there today and at one point my spouse was like "it's just too scenic" after 50th field we were walking through.
not bad, not bad.... still don't have a singular favorite PWHL team, but maybe that's how it should be. I've gone all in on the Sharks for men's hockey, so San Jose would be an easy team to like.
the live version of Oliver’s GMT (Jamie XX version) is permanently lodged into my brain the thing that makes this version of the XX even better is they all three went and did solo things and now they bring it all back together
kilby block party can take my money every year. holy shit. got to see one of the first few shows that the XX has played since starting to do live shows again.
mimosa pitchers and women's hockey 💖 there's too much scoring in this game, it's stressing me out for Montreal #PWHL
that’s all for tonight. testing squats and overhead press in a couple of days.
Marc Maron in Austin tonight: “This is an antifa popup meetup” *pulls out a Bondi memo out of a stack papers* “this is half my act!” finally saw him live after first listening to his podcast on my first iPod decades ago.
quick trip to SF this week to meet some Netlify customers. Giants have won three games straight now since the game we were at on Tuesday. 😉
most unhinged way of blocking a sidewalk, of course it's a tesla it's a quiet, empty street too
while it is a time of renewal and celebration, this Nowruz is a tough one for the Persian diaspora. hugs to anyone with family in conflict zones who don't know what the future will hold. 🫂 last photo is of Athena, a great horned owl, who returns to the same spot every year to raise her owlets.
Nowruz mobarak! 🍎🌱🪞🧄🪻🕯️🍮🪙 today is Persian New Year and honestly, it’s the only new year I celebrate because spring is the right time for renewal, not winter. here's some photos from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this morning before work.
I’m a big believer in having a “launch donut” 🍩 today was a good day for one larahogan.me/donuts/
