My daughter’s school project (turned real business) @kidcoverco is about to cross 150 sales! She has almost 60 different masks in her shop now, and continues to add more all the time. Check out her shop if you need masks sized great for kids.
-
@chrisjdavis That’s Famiglia to you, Chris. 😉

After 5 years in our back yard, our grape vines are finally producing.

@jw Beauty. Send that off to be preserved into a 1000 piece puzzle.

@joshhemsley @kidcoverco This is awesome, Josh. Great photos too. I showed your tweet to Emma, and she was beaming, saying “That’s so cool!” She possibly hadn’t thought she’d be seeing feedback and photos of other kids wearing her masks. I bet it’s a good feeling for her to see these coming in.
-
@cdharrison Thanks, Chris. Appreciate the feedback, both here and on the shop.
-
TFW your 11 year old’s business does more sales in its first week than anything you’ve ever started. 🤦👏
-
@kpk @kidcoverco Working on it. Robots would be esp cool.
-
@allyxnyc re: friendships at Twitter… not only are they some of the best and most genuine professional friendships you’ll make, but they last too. Speaking from experience, six years after bowing out. Thanks for sharing today. Rooting for you all from afar.
-
@hotdogsladies I’m excited our kids finally get to see it.
-
@brupm All wisdom right there, brother. Who says you can’t acquire it in your 30s?! Happy birthday, too!

From an idea & school project in Young Entrepreneur class this year, to executing on a real business making and selling face covers for kids, our 11 year old daughter is learning all about the responsibilities of business. Have kids? Or even a smaller face? Check out @kidcoverco.

@stop @simplebits @rogie @tgerz @vanschneider @zeldman Note the very first example used in the article. Didn’t fall (or get dropped) very far from the tree. alistapart.com/article/slidin…

@simplebits @rogie @tgerz @vanschneider That exact design Tobias points to was the impetus for Sliding Doors. @zeldman and I had to figure out something quick for those tabs that didn’t just use a single fixed-width bg image.

@mkruz @f @Zhanna Doh, you didn’t have to remind me of that! The conversation I had with him is still preserved in its entirety. Was regarding a big set of changes to the mobile app in 2011. twitter.com/stop/status/42… twitter.com/stop/status/42…
-
@mkruz @f @Zhanna Not quite parallel with a feature per se… but one launch that was almost universally praised (with little crit) was the rollout of Phoenix (aka #newtwitter, the first big redesign of the web client). Partly loved because it was an overdue modernization of the site at the time.
-
@mkruz I’m sure @Zhanna would like to forget the launch (and post criticism) of official retweets, but #strangersinthehouse will forever be stamped in her memory. Still one of the most important features ever for Twitter’s growth.

@chrisjdavis I can also confirm that a 2017 iMac Pro’s logic board can go faulty, rendering the entire machine unable to power up and useless. And when a machine like that with a T2 security chip in it needs a new logic board, it wipes the entire SSD, as the two are keyed together. Fun times.
-
@mkruz From our very first dinner together, I knew you’d bring something special to the team. A measured calmness and reason, among others. Thanks, Mike. Best to you. Onward.

RT @Goodable: Across parts of America, police and protesters have been clashing.
In Flint, Michigan, something else happened.
This is the…

@VL @joshelman @fabiogiolito @finkel @ericflo @tommycollison @AMc @bs This was such a great idea. Shame it got swept up in the privacy debate, even tho it was all public info. I also loved the idea that you could clone who someone follows to jumpstart a new account.

@jetpack Mobile version of the modules page needs a way to hide or collapse the filter/sort pane. Otherwise, this page is useless on mobile. Even the landscape orientation still hides & obscures all functionality.
-
So practical, yet so genius. Embodies everything we love about videos from @sandwich. (Watch both the spot, and the “How we made” video.)
Truth: Sharing your workflows and process is such a counter-intuitive (but smart) way of positioning yourself as a leader in the space. twitter.com/adamlisagor/st…

Just fell down a dark hole reading about the Spanish Flu. Of course there’s bewilderment in the number of infections (500 million) and deaths (17-50 million). But I also don’t ever remember learning the irony of naming it after Spain.
-
@miradu Zinga. But if I remember right, that had to do primarily with tax consequences of how their options were granted, and what happened after the IPO.
-
@simplebits @jessicahische A VA and LT within one letter of each other. Doesn’t get more fun than that, Dan!
-
@jw Yep, agree. Have also noticed that 2k spreads the image out (larger puzzle size, smaller pieces) enough to make everything a little blurry. Probably has to do with either image or print quality. But definitely makes pieces harder to ID.
-
@jw Right there with you. I think this was #7 for us. It’s already been cleared to make way for #8. Most have been 1k piecers. A couple 2k, but it’s hard to find room to spread out that many pieces.
-
@stop Happy to report it works in Mailplane too.
-
Anyone else in isolation mode keep making associations in their heads with Bird Box? Or is that just my warped brain?
-
In a sort of Groundhog Day kind of way, I wake up each day thinking (hoping) this is all a dream.
-
@sperte I see both sides. For families that are able to invest time and resources into their school-age children, this is a time those children might flourish, and parents and schools will re-evaluate what we’ve always accepted as the status quo…
-
Fascinating browser extension to suppress stats on Twitter. I advocated back in the day that these numbers (and associated action icons) should not be visible in the timeline because of 1) behavioral changes, and 2) clutter. We know how that ended. bengrosser.com/projects/twitt…
-
@lenlayton I didn’t even think about that. I started out with us muted. But I think I saw a notification that the host unmuted us. Didn’t know that was possible either. Still, no feedback or delayed audio. Audio is also cast to tv.

New normal: our girls are taking their ballet class in our family room on a MacBook connected to Zoom projected to our tv via Airplay.

My daughter just geeked out that today is 3 20 20 20. Proud of her.

See you on the other side, California. twitter.com/GavinNewsom/st…

@StephenPunwasi They actually do. Little Brownie, the mint is more subtle. ABC has a stronger mint taste. I prefer Little Brownie’s TMs. Our girls did a taste test comparison a while back. Not much helpful detail, but entertaining… bigcrazylife.com/girl-scout-coo…
-
@StephenPunwasi More than Little Brownie, certainly. Although Little Brownie’s Thin Mints are vegan.
-
@stop If you order from any of these links, and you’re accustomed to a particular GS cookie, just pay attention to which bakery each girl offers. Even though you’ll find a few hoarders selling on Amazon, I don’t recommend chancing it there. Buy from a true source.
-
@stop Note that there are two different bakeries that supply Girl Scout Cookies (ABC and Little Brownie). Both make Thin Mints, but the names for other cookies change (c.f. Carmel deLites vs Samoas) and they taste different to.
-
@stop Most online cookie sales will continue through this period, because they can be shipped directly to you from the bakery. You’ll pay a lot extra for shipping, especially for only a box or two. But if you order in bulk, the hit isn’t too bad.
-
@stop My wife (a troop leader, herself) is part of several Girl Scout FB groups, and started a spreadsheet of girls’ online cookie order links to help these girls out. If you’re still looking for a cookie source, most of these will still work. Choose at random. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
-
We’re done with our cookie season. But many Girl Scouts just started selling, and are being forced to stop in-person sales because of #COVID19. You can imagine their disappointment, especially when selling cookies is how they raise the majority of funds for troop activities.
