I went to Tokyo Japan for ten days. Trip of a lifetime. The places, spaces and people of Japan are remarkable. I still don't understand Pachinko, but I will return one day and figure it out. #tokyo

Thank you @weslocher for producing this wonderful read. It took me back to an important time in my life, that started my love for games and people. It brought back so many good memories of my time in Britannia. #UltimaOnline

The legacy of power, politics and failure in a single picture. The reality of what has been achieved. This is how England looked at 6:30am this morning. The legalised dumping of sewage onto our beaches witnessed in real-time.

I strongly believe that all managers in a technical area must be technically excellent. Managers in software must write great software or it’s like being a cavalry captain who can’t ride a horse!

Without these women trailblazers, I wouldn’t be able to blaze my own trails of discovery on the Red Planet. I'm thankful for this team every day, but especially on this #InternationalWomensDay.

99% of problems can be solved by a website with some JavaScript calling a Python REST API that queries an SQL database. Stop chasing the decisions of people with problems several orders of magnitude more complex than yours unless you understand why they did it.
