I was woken up today by a phone call letting me know that due purely to budgeting changes I’ve been let go from my full-time contracting position I just started in January after being laid off in September.

I am a former #Apple #engineer with 15 years of experience making apps for #iOS and #macOS. I also have experience with #Ruby. Available immediately for full time or contract work.

Please boost. #Swift #RubyOnRails

I Wonder if it’s Russia vs Finland thing, or things have changed since I used to go to classical concerts regularly, but it’s a very ergonomic affair now. Every single violin has a shoulder rest and a chin rest; flute players have very comfy looking wraparound headrests…

"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."

What kind of biologist should you be?

I adore this charming - and pretty accurate - chart by @rosemarymosco to help make the decision.

Also, fungi wins 🍄 #art #science

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! 😒 😆
