There's a 60% probability that Seattle will reach 70 degrees Monday. Average first occurrence of the year is April 14th.

Since you (like myself) probably misplaced last year's sunglasses, it might be time to locate another pair.

And tune up that bike.

@waEMD Got it on phones and watch, but nothing on TV or radio.

22 truths I wish I knew at 22:

1. Most of your friends aren’t really your friends. They’re just along for the ride when it’s fun, convenient, or valuable. Your real friends are the ones who are there for you when it's none of those—when you have nothing to offer in return.

2. Your success in life is proportional to the number of difficult conversations you're willing to have.

3. Nothing good happens after midnight (especially when you've been drinking).

4. Stand up straight and look people in the eye. Two old fashioned things that stand out and never go out of style. The way you carry yourself dramatically impacts how the world will engage with you.

5. Waking up early and working out will completely change your life. One tiny action with massive ripple effects.

6. Make decisions that your 80-year old self and 10-year-old self approve of. The former cares about the long-term compounding of actions, while the latter reminds you to have some fun along the way.

7. The time you spend comparing yourself to others is much better spent investing in yourself. The only comparison worth making is to you from yesterday.

8. When you think something nice about someone, tell them right then. It's a tiny habit that will pay long lasting dividends.

9. Social media is designed to make you wish you were someone else, somewhere else, and with someone else. Curate your consumption and eliminate what brings negative emotions.

10. Prioritize spending time with people who make you better—who lift you up and make you want to grow.

11. Call your parents more often—they won't be around forever.

12. Focus on making money, you'll do ok. Focus on creating value, you'll do great.

13. The "sleep when I'm dead" mentality is broken. Great sleep is an essential ingredient of great results.

14. Give people a second chance, but never a third. If they're holding you back, cut them out of your life.

15. Trying is the coolest thing you can do. If you're going to do something, do it well.

16. Stop trying to be interesting and focus on being interested. You become interesting by being interested.

17. You'll never know what you want to be when you grow up—and that's fine. Prioritize asking great questions and having a bias for action and you'll always make it.

18. Finding the truth is more important than being right. Stop arguing to win—start listening to learn.

19. Grades won't matter much, but energy for learning will.

20. Stop worrying about what other people think of you. Most people aren't thinking about you at all.

21. Not all decisions are reversible, but most of them are.

22. Go on a few wild and crazy adventures that you'll be excited to tell your kids about someday.

When the wildfires hit Hawaii yesterday, it not only took out the Internet but all fire (and police) radios are encrypted leaving a community completely blind, running toward the ocean for their lives. This is cruel and unusual punishment and must be changed @GovJoshGreenMD! Our thoughts are with the #Hawaiians at this extremely difficult time.

regardless of where and how you code, this is a super fun guide explaining how computers work!

i love these sorts of articles because it doesn't "gatekeep" you with all the jargons (CPU cache lines! page fault!) and instead it actually explains them in simple terms.

@mcmansionhell Etsy needs a good competitor...without all the junk. Back to the real makers. Both Amazon and Etsy have become such junk peddlers. Where are the quality sites with real honest people?
