"in 1832 on this spot nothing happened". What a humorous sign to spot on my walking tour of Lunenburg Nova Scotia!

I guess life can be boring for everyone, once in a while! https://fineartamerica.com/featured/nothing-happened-karen-cook.html #sign #humor #funny #LifeIsLikeThat

Streeeeeetch! You could say he’s grown since then. 😂

"The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press, the Guardian has been told."

Throwback to one of the wildest (and luckiest) shots I've ever taken.

On approach into London several years back, the position of the sun & clouds created a halo around our plane's shadow as the sun highlighted the Tower Bridge. I'm still kicking myself for using my iPhone instead of my good camera, but I didn't expect the clouds to part. Lesson learned! 😒 😆

I'm still looking for a job. Anybody need a programmer in the San Francisco Bay area? I'm a python programmer with experience in C/C++/Java/JS, I've done a bunch of CI/CD/SRE in the recent years, lots of tooling and back end web dev, and I've got a good deal of amateur experience doing reverse engineering and embedded development.
(I've done devops work but I'm trying to move away from that because too often it turns into just "ops", and I am a programmer.)

March 9, 1847, Mary Anning dies #OTD aged just 47. Carpenter daughter, she founded a fossil business in Lyme Regis, Dorset, making important discoveries like complete skeletons of Ichthyosaurus, Plesiosaurus and the flying reptile Dimorphodon 🦴🔨
