new light – I’ve been repeating to myself the following one liner over the last few weeks: May you love someone long enough to see them in a new light. It’s been profoundly grounding and, in some ways, aspirational as I think about certain relationships in my life. What an absolute gift it is to really know someone […]
Chronic Comrades Volume 2 – It’s been over a year since I wrote the first entry about chronic comrades, a group of loves ones I brought together to talk about chronic conditions. We’ve continued in the last year but my notes on what we’ve discussed have not. In many ways, it’s hard to know exactly what to share when so […]
with me – I can’t remember exactly when I got my last pair of cleats but I know they were the ones I wore in college, when I switched from soccer to rugby. My best guess is that I went into college with them as growing up I found it exceedingly hard to find a well fitting cleat […]
zoom out, zoom in – As many places and as many times as I’ve nomaded around, I can’t seem to shake the anxiety I get when figuring out the logistics of getting from point A to point B. Finding out I was arriving for a 10 day work trip with back to back meetups during the NYC marathon, again, had […]no match – We were about to leave for the night, somehow worn out more than the 92 year old and 93 year old before us.

From the Repository’s post on Ollie’s Menu Designer Lands on WordPress.org, Praised as “Game […]
Experimenting with AI assisted triaging – Ever since I first started working within the Gutenberg GitHub repository, I’ve felt my organizational brain cringe at how unwieldy it is. I’ve tried countless methods to help involving various recurring to do items to regularly do my part in keeping relevant issues opened and actionable. As we’ve gone deeper into the AI age, I’ve […]Recent happy moments – I haven’t been lugging my nice camera around as much recently and I’ve enjoyed being okay with not capturing some sort of ideal photo. Instead, I’ve returned to the quick impromptu snaps one gets on a phone. Here are some from the last few weeks that all reflect a moment of happiness–a surprising split flower, […]
gloves – I have such a mental image of this quote. “We waste so much energy trying to cover up who we are when beneath every attitude is the want to be loved, and beneath every anger is a wound to be healed and beneath every sadness is the fear that there will not be enough time. […]
Exploring work in progress for WordPress 6.9 v2 – With just barely less than one month out from beta 1 for 6.9 and after folks appreciated my last exploration post, I thought I’d continue the fun with another update. Again, this is new so feedback is welcomed. I do try to time box this as otherwise I could end up in an endless rabbit […]
