  • Frankly, My Dear, I Don’t Give A Damn

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Fifty Four] Yes, I forgot to write yesterday until it was time for bed, past time for bed, in fact, and then, instead of staying up even later, I took a deep breath in, let it out, accepted that I wouldn’t write today’s post today, and went to bed.…

  • Hello, Dance, You Beautiful Siren

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Forty Seven] Yeah, I still hear it. Yesterday I did a five minute arm workout with Dance Accepts Everyone and I’ll admit, DAMN, it felt GOOD. And then today I took a four hour nap in the afternoon. But first the news: Hospital coronavirus patient total dips below 2,000…

  • I Do Not Recall Those Events, Senator

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Forty Six] It seems that I may have figured out the source of all the confusion, but I won’t know until a few documents arrive and I promise PROMISE to get more specific as soon as this is all resolved. In the meantime, no, I’m not getting much sleep…

  • Oke, But Seriously, You’ve Voted, Right?

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Twenty Seven] Yes, like, three weeks ago or so? I should probably do that thing where I make sure it actually went through, eh? But first the news: ha ha j/k it’s Sunday This weekend I’m doing GISH and, if I’m honest, I can’t even.

  • Wanna See The Skellington?

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Twenty Five] Yesterday I spoke at Software Circus dressed as a skeleton and today, well, I’m a rock star. My hair is still floofed / spiked and that black make up around my eyes ain’t goin’ NOWHERE. Wanna see? But first the news: Dutch coronavirus app is sending out…

  • I Totally Get Paid To Be A Skellington Today

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Twenty Four] I’m ludicrously chuffed to speak at Software Circus today, although, I’ll admit, even if I weren’t speaking, I’d still dress up to watch. Cause #CostumeContest And while I already wrote about this in New Mic Who DIS I completely forgot to add an actual link to the…

  • New Mic Who DIS

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Eighteen] I’m giving a talk next week with Software Circus and I could not be more SQUEEE. I saw them back in June when they did an Alice in Wonderland theme and it was just BRILLIANT. I think every sentence in this post is going to end with all…

  • Holy Hell, Today

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Thirteen] I submitted a code for Equinix’s virtual hackathon.

But first the news: New coronavirus cases top 8141…
