I cooked a full breakfast for myself today, something I've never bothered to do. Just woke up this morning and felt like celebrating for some reason.

Congratulation to @seagl for a wonderful event this year. I'm hoping to make a video of my talk "My Own Private Binary" before too long. In the meantime, here are a set of notes taken by attendee @Da_Bomberanian. #SeaGL2019

Yesterday, I listened in as she and a friend engaged in a detailed, prolonged discussion over whose most powerful character would win in a fight. They feel a little less unfamiliar now.

Daughter and her Mom, while driving in a Tesla: M: Did you deposit that check? D: No — I was going to, but I forgot my bank password. M: Did you try <PASSWORD>? D: … Uh, thank you for saying my bank password aloud inside an IoT device.
