Portland is about to explode in blooms… it’s “pink snow” season!

Breakfast with my favorite person… #pdx

I just need to share my Apple tags with you. A few friends, kids and my husband stalk me that way while I’m on the road!

Hello Mt Hood!

Why aren’t you here? @gfritchey.bsky.social said goodbye to me in Frankfurt… I expect when I come to denver for you to be here…:)

Hi Denver, bye Denver…:)7

Thank Frankfurt for all the lederhosen…heading home to Portland. SQL Konferenz was wunderbar!

@gfritchey.bsky.social and @bweissman.bsky.social were great copresenters for our session on AI Exhaustion at #sqlkonferenz going to go take a nap now…:)

Ran an errand in the city center of Hannau and enjoyed a quiet breakfast, then took the bus back. Got to say hello to @frankgeisler.bsky.social before I headed out…:)

Admission does not excuse the poor decision. Ethical AI is for the survival of civil liberties, not just its survival.

Agreed- took a nap after getting to the hotel and haven’t eaten since this morning… I am REALLY looking forward to this beer and German pizza

Ok, I’m ready for my pizza, too…:)

Sia keeps singing about “I have stamina” in the song The Greatest and I keep thinking, “oh gf, you haven’t gone through menopause yet…” lol

If you’d told AuDHD 12 yr old me, that at 59, I’d be flying all over the world to speak at conferences on tech in combat boots…. I’d have thought you lost your God-forsaken mind…:)

How 'Survivor' revolutionized television 25 years ago 'Survivor' changed the face of television 25 years ago, and TV — for better or for worse — has never been the same.

I gave birth to my youngest child DURING the finale of the Survivor at 8:20pm on August 23, 2000. The distraction of hospital staff was quite apparent & if I hadn't pushed myself up on the delivery table, kid would have ended up on the floor. Thanks, Survivor! LOL ew.com/survivor-rev...

Fun watching in front of my house today…

That settles it, I’m in the latter group. :)

This statement first made me laugh…and then cry for the state of our country…

Agreed.

When you look out your window and expect to see river and sailboats, but see a massive crane, and not the bird type… :)

I'm going to say an unpopular thing: I don't always feel containers are required for everything. I like understanding ALL the things, not just the easy thing. It ticks me off when I feel pushed to do something just because peeps say it's cooler that way.

TikTok has become less and less worth the time these days. I find if I want to enjoy aimless wandering on short videos, either YouTube or Rednote is about it. Anyone else remember when social media was fun?

There are some days where the 25 channels in my brain act like rabid otters and try to fight each other to the death in a hunger game style contest. Oh wait, 24 channels- the 25th is playing Barry Manilow on a boombox at top volume.

Finally back home to Portland! #Yay

Deplaned, overstimulated and back sitting in LAX… sigh….:@
