@MarkSherriff I’ve had DoorDash say they don’t deliver when there were no dashers available. I’ve also had a dasher show up to a restaurant that was closed #nodonutsforus

So.. about that M1 Ultra. Wow! #AppleEvent

When the week gets too busy, it’s best to take a short break for a family walk on a sunny day! #finallyspring

Isn’t it exciting to find two boxes of floppy disks from your childhood? Time to fire up the DOS VM and look through them!

Excited for my new desk clock, but I can’t decide if Link running around all the time is distracting or fun. #LegendOfZelda

@Prof_DanG That is impressive!

It’s weird to be transitioning away from Gmail after 10+ years, now that it sounds like GSuite is ending for my personal domains. Seems like stepping back in time to move email back to my web host. Do I go back to POPing my mail again?

@markzarb The wii instructions online have been more helpful than the in-game hints for switch, but I think it would be harder if I had played the wii version first.

Playing through Skyward Sword. It’s interesting to see what mechanics made it into BotW and how much thought went into the use of the Wii mote.

[Robbie Hott @deternitydx]

@markzarb It really doesn’t feel like a Zelda game to me, compared to Ocarina of Time and BotW. But it’s the first game I’ve played with so ingrained motion controls.

Leaving a great #WikiConferenceNA at #mit and heading home!

That time when the power went out mid-class and I taught the rest of the class using the board!
