OMG just demoed what my team has been working on for the past nine months to the entire company.

Went well. I'm gonna faint now.

I'm thrilled I can finally say something about it. My employer is now covering many of the costs of gender affirming surgeries, including things that get overlooked like hotel/airbnb stays.

Also other transition related expenses like work appropriate clothes and name changes.

Psst .. we're hiring!

@ajroach42 it really is a beautiful restoration!

My six year old had a character generation session with her new kids D&D group. Their character is a tabaxi monk named Kitty who deals a lot of damage with her claw attack. Her family runs a cat shelter (which I guess would be more like an orphanage) and she carries her kitten collar around as a memento.

We might have just booked the last b&b room available in Provincetown for under $1000/night in June.

Did my first 13 mile bike ride through Boston this year! I love seeing so much of this town, especially our beautiful parks.

@Self thanks for the update!

I've soft launched a hobby project I've been working on.

https://www.computerhistory.boston/ is an interactive map of companies, institutions, and landmarks in the history of digital technology from the Boston area.

There's still some styling tweaks and a LOT of content needed still.

The server my main account is on is getting an upgrade so I'm in this account for now. I haven't used it in about a year. Lots of cobwebs to clear out.

Found these awesome socks this afternoon.

Thanks to my wife for correcting the unnecessary gendering of my footwear.

There was a cool thing in my dream last night that I kind of want now.

Two words: Atari Roomba

Something weird happened. When I was growing up, computer chips were rectangles and we interacted with them through square screens.

Now the chips are squares and the screens are rectangles.
