Okay, so, #introdiction , I’m #JennieBreeden and I started posting my #daily #sliceoflife #webcomic back in 2001 #TheDevilsPanties. I got a #sequentialart degree from #savannah #scad and I live in #portland #oregon … you’d think I would have more #interests at #42 but posting a #dailycomic and taking care of two kids pretty much uses up 138% of my time.

#introduction
Hello fellow humans! I'm interested in science, computers, art, classics, #Archeology, #Astronomy and music. #FOSS has been an ever-surprising wonder for me. #Raspberry_Pi has given hours of fun.
I love #bikes and #ebikes. I may make you late for your appointments discussing #Randonneuring, chain lube, and bike tires.
Living in #Seattle, I favor waterproof bags and socks. And how could I get along without my #BikeTrailer?
I'm here to learn.
@springlite @ericsfraga I’ve seen pogies, but I haven’t sprung for them yet. I have lobster claw gloves, but the pogies would be a good investment.
@GChristine he looks very guilty.
@ericsfraga I have good lights, for sure! Lights are important both for the paths and visibility on the stretch of road I can’t avoid.
My difficulty in winter is always balancing the cold and the sweat of exertion. In the morning it will be below freezing, in the afternoon slightly above. I need the right coat, the right pants, the right gloves.
Interesting find at the farm today. This looks like a red-legged frog egg mass, but it's way too early, months early, for them to be breeding here. I have it on good authority that it's either that or a weirdly large mass of an earlier breeder like chorus frog. Any frog folks have a better guess? (Coast range of Oregon, taken today, Dec. 28) Either way, I'll be keeping a closer eye on the pond over the next few weeks.

Dear #Linux , I need some help with a secret surprise.
My family is pre-qualified to host some foreign exchange students from past experience and we ended up an emergency placement of a Ukrainian student over Christmas break.
She likes coding in Python and her dad works in IT back in Ukraine. I would like to gift her family a retired-from-work but well-spec'ed laptop but I can't get it to boot! She goes to a boarding school on Sunday or Monday, and that's where I need your help. Details next!
@GailNYC I’m struggling to get back into it! I know I’ve been using this year’s heat and cold as an excuse. I need better motivation!
Searching for people who are interested in #cities and #urbanplanning and #urbanism and #bicycle and #bicyclecommuting and #biketowork and #carless and #carfree Here’s a recent pic of me ready for my winter commute.
Why is there such a disconnect between professional and leisure life?
Tonight a band I’d like to see plays at 10pm. Tomorrow I work at 7. These two times are not compatible, and are both oddly arbitrary. There’s nothing I do that needs to be done at 7, and no reason a band should play at 10pm Wednesday night.
For #2023 I am determined to take up #bicyclecommuting again! A friend just gave me a wonderfully reflective and bright orange winter jacket, perfect for cold weather. It fits perfectly!
Now I just have to talk myself into getting out before the sun rises and being prepared to bike back after it sets.
Wish me luck #BikeTooters and friends!
Tonight I looked up options to attach a Burley Piccolo trailerbike to a Surly #BigDummy #CargoBike and couldn't find anything better than the guide I published on my blog, so I cleaned it up and republished it. My DIY solution lasted 10 years until the kids outgrew it.

I also have a guide for attaching a Piccolo to a #YubaMundo. I plan to review and clean that up next!
cat eye contact!
Happy #tuesday from Dave and Eddie because #everydayiscaturday and the #catsofmastadon are always here to brighten your day!
The #fediverse is my happy place. I post and boost #science, #animals, #photography, #poetry and #art. I may add a little about politics and the real world, but I want to keep my happy place happy and will use #ContentWarnings if possible. I’m one of many #WomenInSTEM who love #myco and #astronomy and #coding and #philosophy and #comics and #books and #MetalMusic I #bike, play #bassguitar, and care for my #dogsandcatsofmastodon models when not working. Ich lese Deutsch. Schreiben ist schwieriger. Manchmal werde ich es versuchen.
