Welp, school starts tomorrow so I guess I finally gotta make the syllabus. Good thing I just received this stupendous contribution by @thecodingtrain hero Dan @shiffman!

Spent the weekend with a bunch of very lovely web friends. Forgot to take any pictures. Did it even happen?

@gerireid A whole month! Which is both exciting and terrifying. Going to be spending a lot of it out in your part of the world too!

[Val Head @vlh]

Feeling equal parts excitement and FOMO as I'm getting ready to take my first ever sabbatical.

I definitely need some time to recharge, but I'm also in the middle of some exciting projects at work.

[Val Head @vlh]

@editingemily @sarah_edo I miss you too!

One of my favs from last week's shelter dog photoshoot. Ambrose was a very happy model!

25 slides for a 5 min presentation? I might be overdoing it.

[Val Head @vlh]

@gerireid I think the second might be even better than the first. It still has so many of those so stressful I almost can't watch scenes!

[Val Head @vlh]

The Bear is some of the most stressful TV I’ve ever watched, but in the best way.

[Val Head @vlh]

I write a lot of comments to myself in design files. I assume this is totally normal.

[Val Head @vlh]

@editingemily It is really cute though!

Started my day in the circle of travel hell known as flying Spirit out of Newark. It was a dark dark place, but I made it home and things can only go up from here.
