After a string of nearly non-stop bad news for 18 months, some little rays of hope broke through the clouds.

My life’s work at Turing still needs a few more heroes the show up, but things look a little better than they did a week ago.

I find myself intrigued by this social network reboot, and also it feels like I don’t have much to say anymore. It’s been so long since Twitter was a part of my daily life. Maybe this will be some mix of dadops, tech, work, and random musings. At least I don’t have a podcast!
