@colmmacc To misuse an Amazonism - there is no *there* there.

@reconditerose Hit my feed, FWIW.

@BenjaminSolak Arctic Grayling? Didn’t realize they had those in CT.

@kcmetroalerts was the 7:36 28x Route through the Broadview neighborhood canceled today? Been waiting over 20 minutes, but it never showed, and no alerts posted.

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@eileenberan Stay safe!

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@adamhjk I saw you there in ~2011. Appreciated your humor and candor. For folks like me from tech-adjacent companies that were trying to change old-school development habits - it meant so much. It was a significant step in my own tech journey.

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@colmmacc @abbyfuller Congrats!!!

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@erberan This is just common sense! Particularly for parents. I regularly put extra napkins in the glove box of both our cars.

There are 10 types of people in this world: nerds that know how much cilantro to use, and normal people.

Shoutout to @SeattlePD - I was walking to the train downtown tonight and was (very lightly) accosted by someone walking by. A nearby officer happened to see it, came over to diffuse, and made sure I was okay. Appreciate the help and the officer’s alertness!

Monday afternoon experiment: asked chatgpt to write promotion feedback for a software engineer working on cloud technology, no other context. Not shabby. Bet it would be v. good if I provided supporting inputs/accomplishments.

@nhdolan The students at Ingraham are already planning a response about safety at schools and gun control. We’re encouraging our son to participate. My most sincere hope is that his generation creates change where mine has failed.

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@nhdolan Our son is a sophomore at Ingraham. He’s safe - but it was a tough, shitty day. I’m sad for everyone involved, and thankful for the response and support of the staff and SPD at Ingraham today.

@austoonz There was no fall this year. We went from summer straight to winter. The long summer was great, but the early winter hurts.

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@seakoz Let me be the first to make this joke.

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@austoonz I’m so SO happy to hear this! Congrats!!!

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@seakoz All the creativity in the company - sure feels like we can do better for 20 and 25 years. You should get to add your own badge text at 20 years, for example. Yours might be: “Yes, it was my fault.”

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@seakoz Congrats Koz! Though it’s a bummer that the badge colors trail off after the cool purple badge at 15 years.

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

@austoonz Not today, sadly. I’ve hooked up a couple like this in short fishing windows after work - hoping my luck continues.

[Matt Olson @MOlsonNotBeer]

Went to the beach for a quick bit of salmon fishing after work today, found a baby seal napping in my fishing spot.
