My train was late so I didn't have time to make it to my hotel for a call at 1, so I left Penn Station and tried to find a coffee shop, but all the coffee shops are full of loud blaring music so I ended up finding a second floor patio bar which is just out of the way enough to have only normal levels of NY street background noise which was okay for the call.

Had a great time giving a talk on @OAuth2 at @SCSU tonight! Thanks to all the students who braved the rain and came anyway! ☔️

There's always so much to do after I get home from a trip, like clean my desk, but I've been on the road so much lately that I haven't even cleaned my desk since XOXO.

This flight from Milwaukee to Chicago takes longer to taxi to the gate than the time we spend in the air

TIL zucchini shreds way easier when it's slightly frozen by an overzealous fridge #BatchCooking

I forgot that I had run out of Campari but my cocktail robot was already pouring a Boulevardier so I swapped the Campari tube for Zwack and now I have a cocktail that is not what I was looking forward to but is okay #whiningontheyacht

hello, hi. how is everyone with jobs dealing with getting back into the work groove today after @xoxo.

Today I learned about the iOS "Guided Access" mode which lets you lock the phone into running just one app like a kiosk! You can't even turn off the phone when it's put into this mode! So cool.

I just tried to join a WebEx meeting from Zoom and was super confused why it wasn't working for like 5 minutes 🤦‍♂️

This is a good post (from 2015) and is equally relevant to Mastodon as it is Twitter http://natdudley.com/blog/twitter-ux-and-bullying/ #indieweb

Tried to go the local option and get canning supplies at some place in town, but couldn't find anywhere that sold canning lids by themselves or pots that work on glass stoves. 😔 Found everything I need on Amazon of course and it will be here Tuesday. womp womp.

Well that was a fun 10-hour coding sprint! It's been a while since I've been that focused for so long.

Just made two bots for @xoxo! They are only followable from Mastodon/etc right now.

ShuttleBot will post a stream of updates about where the two shuttles are during the festival: ShuttleBot@shuttle.xoxofest.com

XOXO_toots will boost toots from attendees that mention "xoxo", just like https://twitter.com/xoxofest_tweets does on Twitter!

This has been quite an experiment in diving into ActivityPub the last couple days.

If you missed my @devconf_us talk earlier this month, I just turned it into a blog post!

My todo list is so long that I had already done some things on it and forgotten to check them off because I was too anxious about looking at my todo list because it was so long.
