Counting the number of corporate hoodies and t-shirts on this flight from PDX to AWS re:invent.. Cloudability, New Relic, Twistlock, Sumo, and of course @Okta. I think they call this the "nerd bird". See you there! 👋✈️

So it turns out my TV didn't break after all. There was just a secret power switch on the bottom that I didn't know existed.

My TV broke just in time for the Black Friday deals. I'm on the train right now heading to the Best Buy by the airport, and with any luck will emerge with a new TV. Or I will find out how many people come down from Vancouver to shop at that Best Buy. Wish me luck.

It's 4:30pm, I haven't even started the main thing I was supposed to do today, and it's already getting dark and now I want a beer. #WinterInPortland

In case you were wondering what I will be doing the 4 or 5 days a month that I am home in between travel ➡️ https://twitter.com/anomalily/status/1064377654600589313 #BuffyPreboot

TIL my iPhone's FaceID doesn't recognize me when my mouth is full of food

whoa I've never been in a plane that's pulled out of the gate by making a u-turn and driving forwards before #tinyplane #travel

Woke up this morning to find a bunch of my @kmikeym shares sold, and while I was trying to figure out where the sudden influx was from, watched my iPhone 6S battery drain from 100% to 70% in a matter of minutes.

Decided to use the @kmikeym bux to buy a new phone. An hour later, I have a new iPhone XS in hand, thanks to the magic of the internet and Postmates couriers. And thus begins my life without a headphone jack.

Alright, I think we can call it. Between @tlodderstedt's OAuth Security Best Practices and OAuth 2.0 for Browser Apps, the Implicit Flow is dead.

I think we've finally officially entered stout season. I enjoyed tonight's stout way more than the IPA. #beer

If you're in Berlin, a few of us who are here early for IndieWebCamp will be meeting at Estate Coffee at 10am on Thursday to get a head start on some hacking on our websites!

Meet at 10am, we'll work there til about 1pm, then find lunch, then probably find another coffee shop or bar to work from in the afternoon!

It delights me that IcelandAir pilots and flight attendants make announcements in Icelandic even though almost nobody on the flight speaks it.

I learned a lot about writing WordPress plugins making this! Kinda cool that you can completely take over the WordPress login screen like this too. https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/10/30/wordpress-authentication-with-okta

Packing is easy when you just don't unpack from the previous trip
