📷 One of the more wacky Huntington Beach Fourth of July parade entries this year. If you grew up on ‘70s sitcoms, you get it… 🇺🇸

A group of people dressed in vibrant, 1970s-style costumes and wigs are marching in a parade, holding a banner that reads "Mrs. Roper Romps Huntington Beach."

Why do I save every work email except the one-line “thank you” emails? So when someone says X and then comes back with Y later, I can joyously screenshot their original thread and attach that sucker to my reply. 💣💥

I’m saddened to learn of the passing of Henry Carvajal yesterday after battling cancer for a year and a half.

For me, one of the hardest parts of being a people manager is having the honest conversations about results and performance. I want to be 100% fair, but at the same time, my expectations are not unreasonable. This was not the way I wanted to start my Monday…

📷 I came across this photo of my middle son at surf team practice early one morning when he was in high school some 20 years ago. I’ve always liked this shot…

A surfer is performing a maneuver on a wave in the ocean.

I hate to have to say this, but I think I’m starting to like Raycast better than I do LaunchBar…

To this day, I still do not understand why headphone jacks on Macs (PC too?) are located on the right side, but every wired headset I’ve ever owned has the input wired on the left, forcing the cable to cross over (or under) my hands as I type.

I moved all the content I wanted to keep from my WordPress site over here to Micro.blog this morning. Next, I’ll decommission the VPS and then point the .org domain at this one (.dev). This is all part of the (mostly) all in on Micro.blog decision from a while back.
