  • Dutch Lock Down Day Nine

    “I had to pull up the last post to see what today’s title is cause that’s where we are now. I’m only surprised it took nine days and not, say, three.”

  • Dutch Lock Down Day Eight

    Alt Title: “This Roller Coaster Fucking Sucks” Strap in, Warriors, this one’s a doozy. First, awesome news! Cause we always start with awesome news? No, cause this roller coaster is SEQUENTIAL. Yay, news from the daycare! I’ll admit, I winced. There have been SO MANY SHITTY EMAILS from so many places with updates around the…

  • What is Your Armageddon Agenda?

    I just figured something out. I’m slow sometimes. #PBBT At a certain time, people started scolding me whenever I would shake their hands, but they would scold me with a dash of embarrassment and humour.

But I wrote today and published not one, but TWO articles. #WhenItRains WAIT Did I just find my hashtag?!? Holy shit! ASIDE: I once heard a podcast wherein the person said that they were asked to sift through all…

    At some point I was writing and posting every single day. Go, me! Because I heard Seth Godin talk about it on NPR or somewhere at some point – to write every day – and it resonated. So I did. Mostly. Except then groningenrain.nl was hacked. Stripped. No backup.

  • Call For Outreachy Mentors

  • Let’s Get To Know One Another

    I’ve heard of these referred as “Chinese Portrait”, but I can’t find the historical relevance or etymology which makes me think that it doesn’t come from Chinese ancestry at all. Does anyone know?

  • Soothes The Savage Beast #AMIRITE

    …my brain has particularly been focused on music lately because, for example, Spotify was totally one of the sponsors at DevRelCon London 2019. Which is totally badass, right? #MUSIC
