@ScottyWardSmith Happy Birthday! I'm reading through Everyday Prayers with two friends this year. Your words have been a real blessing to us all, and have helped us grow in a discipline that we feel weak in. Thanks and may this year be the best one yet.

This new short story by Robin Sloan has a "playable" cover – you set the beat sequencer, twiddle some knobs, and it gives you a little tune to listen to while reading. https://t.co/8HIedJDKH7

I've threatened this for so long: today I actually sent a newsletter email for Studio Kirkland.

[Brand New Box @brandnewbox]

To celebrate the new year, we commissioned a short story by Robin Sloan, best-selling author of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore and Sourdough.

It's a bit of a love-letter to Lawrence KS, and a celebration of learning new things.

Just got back from @inkello, checking out our little New Years project we’re doing for @brandnewbox. It’s going to be so good!

[City of Lawrence KS @lawrenceks]

The City of Lawrence has made history! We earned a perfect score in the 2022 Municipal Equality Index from the @HRC. This is the first year in which a city in Kansas has earned a perfect score. More information: https://t.co/JXupb2OF81

@KsScanner Twitter is headquartered in North Lawrence?!

@seantjhatch I'm not crying. You're crying.

@matt_kirkland Pizza Monthly sold you out.

[Nathan Colgate @nathancolgate]

@m_heggeness I was so delighted to hear someone from @UnivOfKansas on the podcast! Kudos.

As the downtown loop in Kansas City turns 50 this year, let's not forget how it turned a vibrant neighborhood into a parking lot. Yellow shows surface parking lots, while green are garages.

[Nathan Colgate @nathancolgate]

The Lawrence Loop is such a great resource, and this kind of commitment is so encouraging to see.

[City of Lawrence KS @lawrenceks]

As part of the 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan, we've approved a schedule to complete the Lawrence Loop trail system! Some of the projects will be contingent on grant funding for construction. More information: https://t.co/ZXkdOGlLdG

We tried scrum for 6 months earlier this year before reaching the same conclusion.

[Sergio Pereira @SergioRocks]

Why I don't use Scrum to manage my Remote Teams?

TL;DR: It adds at least 8 hours of meetings per Sprint. That's 2 full days of lost productivity, per team member, per month!

This is what I do instead 👇

@digitalocean @DOStatus Ticket #6841391 has been open since Thursday. But the responses have not been actionable.

[Nathan Colgate @nathancolgate]

Hey @digitalocean / @DOStatus, your SFO3 Container Registry has been throwing 50X errors during business hours since Thursday. Please deal with this so we can get our pipelines back up and running.

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

When we're looking at improving cycling, so much focus is given to big cities.

Yet often, it's small cities—especially college towns like Eugene—that make the greatest gains in the least time; refining best practices, sharing with others, and acting as incubators for good ideas.

[Nathan Colgate @nathancolgate]

@matt_kirkland Congrats! You are now your grandpa!
