It's giving Silent Hill.

Story of my life lately...

Came home from cat sitting to my addiction.

I can't wait to find out what Boeing did wrong in the future.

I'm recovering from my first PRP knee shot. Who has some good documentary recs for me to watch?

Yep. I'm done with Threads. I'm so tired of posting anything on there and being attacked by assholes who just want to pick fights and be dicks.

I'm starting to realize I really need to stop talking about how I use AI, because people just want to attack anyone who uses it, for any reason. I don't have the energy for this anymore.

It's been maybe two months since I've wanted to paint. It felt good to do it again this weekend.

🌡️ 10th straight 80°+: Denver will (again) top out in the low 80s (record: 87°, 2015), though we’ll have more clouds than sun. It’ll stay dry in Denver, though. 🌧️ More sunshine and staying hot tomorrow before a cooler Tuesday and soup weather on Wednesday. #COwx

I always forget about this song, then fall in love with it again: open.spotify.com/track/40PHLC...

Very excited to be a mentor in the this cohort for @womenintechseo.bsky.social.

If this year has taught me anything, it's that I don't value myself enough to do the things I need to do. I'm scared of the hard thing.

It is so difficult and embarassing to be a San Diego sports fan. Jesus.

It never ceases me how often my name is misheard or misspelled.

This year has just sucked. I can't wait for 2027.

The universe has a funny way of humbling you. No WTSFest Philly for me this year after all. I somehow managed to have blown out both my knees during my trip to San Diego. So San Diego is now 2/4 for injuries to me on my return trips.

A good avgeek day at SAN.

Hard to pick just a few photos that capture my time at The Nat.

A couple of snapshots from the Fleet Science Center.

A few snapshots from last night's @padres.com vs. Marlins game at Petco. A Tony Hawk sighting! And a Padres win! Couldn't ask for a better night at Petco Park.

Padres wild card run!!

If anyone is doing the BrightonSEO blood drive today all the folks running it our super nice and it was an awesome experience!

Day 1 BrightonSEO. Let's go!

Day 1 of #BrightonSEO hasn't even really started yet, and I've already talked about AI and content marketing so much with so many smart folks. Can't wait to stand on my soapbox the next two days.

BREAKING: We just won in the United States Supreme Court to protect your right to vote by mail.

This is coffee number 3 from Spill the Beans so far. I might as well live here or do their marketing at this point.

Welcome to SD.

Trading card acquired.

DEN to SAN for BrightonSEO and vacation.

I hate the day before travel... I get so ready to go and just want to gooooooo. All checked in for my flight tomorrow to San Diego for BrightonSEO. Early af morning flight so I can get coffee and brekkie on the bay.

This was Colorado's hottest summer on record, and it wasn't even close. Average statewide temp of 69.4° beat the old record (2012) by 0.7°, a wide margin. It was also Colorado's hottest August on record, and it's our hottest start to a calendar year on record as well. #COwx

The universe changed its mind and I'm going to WTSFest Philly after all. So excited to see my friends, make new friends, and just have all the fun with WTSers.

I'm here for this. One of my all-time faves.

From lunch yesterday, some of the best Mexican food I've ever had in Denver at Los Dos Portrillos.

At this rate, these Jones Soda Fallout packs will be my most-bought item at Costco...

Denver’s earliest snow on record: 65 years ago today! 4.2” of snow fell on Sep. 3, 1961. It didn’t even officially drop below freezing in Denver! But heavy enough precip fell (almost 2” of liquid) that snow stuck on colder surfaces. Oh, and it was 85° two days before… #COwx

It used to snow in September in Denver… ❄️

I am still amused that Slack celebrates my anniversary at RicketyRoo every year.

I've been on a cold brew or espresso and lemonade kick since Wednesday, having it for the first time in a while. Then I tried OJ and espresso at home after the barista at a local place said she liked it more than lemonade. I'm a weirdo, I know.

Some of the best carne asada fries I've ever had from last night's apartment complex happy hour. Food trucks are the best.

Lunar eclipse starting.

First PSL of the season.

I have no words. The world has lost one of its best, brightest humans today. :(

Muse for the 5th time!

Well, at some point tonight we'll have Banana Ball!
