@andybudd Looking rather seaworthy, Mr Budd! Like it.

@stop Which is actually a fake parody produced by LA-based FX studio @CorridorDigital. Behind the scenes is here, and worth watching:

Just in case… That viral video with no context that appeared to be a Boston Dynamics robot being beaten and abused, then it starts to fight back? Here’s the original:

We love our local library, and our girls are constantly asking if we can go. It’s also the first place that empowered them by giving them their very own card and let them check out books on their own FOR FREE. Libraries are magical places to them. ♥️ twitter.com/michellecyca/s…

@sam Agree that there must be some correlation there. We moved on the Bay Area 6 times in 7 years.

@shaneadams To whom do I need to flag this? 👋

@kfury Getting called for duty, then only calling in to see if you need to physically show up isn’t bad. But having your group get called in to show up, waiting forever, then NOT getting picked feels hugely wasteful. A waiting room of people trying to get remote work done or read.
-
@stop Anyway, all that to say… I know getting called is often a huge inconvenience. But if you ever get a chance to serve on a jury, it’s a huge learning experience, and an eye opener about how our justice system actually works (or doesn’t, in some cases).
-
@stop Police brought escapee back two hours later. Judge called us into the courtroom, including bailer, lectured us, and eventually declared a mistrial. Whole thing would be tried again with a new jury. We, as jurors, were pissed for all that time we served, with no resolution.
-
@stop Case lasted for 3 weeks. Fascinating witnesses, many of them his customers. When trial ended, we went to deliberation. One of the jurors refused to cooperate, and left the deliberation room without permission from the bailiff. For some reason, our alternates weren’t present.
-
@stop Another case was a criminal trial for a guy who was delivering weed as a bike courier. CA had just legalized pot for medical use 2 years prior (’96), so his defense was that all customers were actually patients claiming medical use.
-
@stop For one case (corporate law dispute), the defense attorney was so ill-prepared, fumbled through an opening statement, sent papers flying everywhere. The next day, after waiting over an hour to start, bailiff came in to tell us it was a mistrial (defense attorney went missing).
-
@stop I have not attempted to get out of jury duty since. 😳
-
@stop My very first call in San Francisco, I got picked, and tried to plead my case to the judge that I should be dismissed for hardship as a business owner (Stopdesign), and its only employee. I was reprimanded harshly by the judge for trying to get out of my civic duty.
-
@stop I have been picked for and actually served on juries three times now. All have been interesting experiences, and seemingly, outside the norm of typical court cases.
-
I think this is the 10th time I’ve been called for jury duty. Is that any kind of record? I must be on some kind of list subset. Even though selection is supposedly random… “Prioritize select from this list of people who have served before and actually respond to our notices.”

@flyosity My girls won’t stop singing “Speechless” from that one. It’s getting stuck inside my head now.
-
At the point in my WordPress dev evolution where I realize I’ve been creating too many child template files as overrides, rather than using actions and filters to modify parent themes.
-
@flyosity Unless already living in something under rent control, I doubt you could find many apartments in SF for $3k/ or less these days.

Difficult parenting moment when our younger daughter comes into our room sobbing her eyes out because her best friend is moving away at the end of the school year. We’ve all been there, losing a friend to distance or worse. The hole it leaves that seems will never be filled.
-
@divinentd But why is it there at all? And only visible by default on the last message? Why not make it accessible via the contextual actions menu like all other previous messages? (My question is why is the last sent message more important than prior msgs?)
-
@wilsonminer @dwjr Continued… twitter.com/stop/status/15…
-
@seancurtis Nope – in the timeline, only visible on the latest. Have to tap into a message to see it on other messages. Or tap and hold for the contextual menu.
-
@whatsyrdamage @yadiramouth Yep, I see the contextual action for other messages. Just wondering why it’s exposed for the latest message? Why not always make it contextual instead of giving one less line of content?
-
@mikeindustries For the record, I’m still on Team No Action Icons in the timeline. I realize it was the losing team in favor of more engagement. But I have never liked the land mine of possible tap targets. cc @emoore @jbrewer
-
@yadiramouth But it is only present on the latest message. So thus, this location makes me think I can only react to the latest message.
-
@mikeindustries Your explanation does not compute.
-
@yadiramouth So I can only react to the latest message?

@bhaggs I’ve used a 12” MacBook now for exactly 2 years. Purchased right before traveling to Europe for its size and weight. I’ve loved it ever since. Lighter than the old 11” Airs.
-
@bhaggs Wait – is that a thing? I noticed some extra spaces in a tweet the other day posted from web.
-
Just my opinion, but I feel like Apple’s recent industrial design is trending toward boring and soulless. Maybe that’s the point. But I keep hoping the pendulum will eventually switch direction.

I’m only one voice in this. But I, too, have not been a fan of recent changes MailChimp has been making. Calling an email list an “audience”, counting unsubscribes toward limits, and forcing over to this expanded mental model of a CRM is super awkward. twitter.com/DavidGaughran/…

Good advice from @monteiro, even if you’re not at your first job, and/or have been in the biz for years. Last three paragraphs are especially important to read (and do). modus.medium.com/how-to-not-suc…

Both Black Mirror and The Handmaid’s Tale are frightening, not because they seem to come from demented imaginations, but because the unimaginable scenarios they foretell are becoming more imaginable.

@leggett @kfury @bl Heh, yes. My header photo is from my first trip to New Zealand in 2004. Here’s the ancient photo gallery I designed and built on top of Movable Type where I looked up the date: dbowman.com/photos/nz04/
-
@leggett @bl @kfury I still hear references to it frequently, mostly as a joke or jab at me, and more often, by friends completely outside tech circles. Resurfaces in tech articles occasionally, or someone will call it out on Twitter. 10 years on, I’m happy to let 50 shades of gray be the new thing.

@meyerweb I remember using <base> in some early code for the Wired redesign, long after it had become standard. Not sure if it survived into production though.

@ChappellTracker @mikefarrell Rumor is that it might come to Disneyland CA too, replacing the Innoventions building in Tomorrowland.

@CHW @heylauragao @cambridgemike @googlecalendar @ireneau @veen @GrahamJenkin @frauhauslee Also, related to the original tweet… Calendar is so much better now than the first version I helped create.
