At the Metafilter meetup. I got leftover swag from the 20th Anniversary. I just declared “English is PHP” which pleased me greatly. #xoxofest #mefi

XOXO is classy. #xoxofest I’m in Portland. It’s hotter than I expected. Powell’s was rad. Things kick off tonight. I’m exploring.

I’m eligible for a Festival-Only ticket to @xoxofest. Worth it? I’ve never been to Portland. Need to decide soon. #XOXOFest #XOXOfestival

Foursquare / Swarm to my own site, #indieweb style I’ve been adding more “stuff” from my life to this website. I use services like Instagram, Flickr, Mastodon, Foursquare, Facebook, StackOverflow, GitHub which have public-facing components.

It’s deeply weird to return to what was once called “internet time.” Internet time was what we called the era where brand new web pages or services would pop up and get massively popular...

On misgendering I was wearing my red sweater and was misgendered this morning (November 4, 2019) at the drive-through. Writing here in 2020, I can’t remember whether it was “ma’am” instead of “sir” or whether I merely overheard someone refer to me as “she” rather than “he.” But it’s immaterial. I am fascinated by the change in...
