1. Cataract surgery on my other eye is complete. Needed an extra med for that eye because me. 🤪
2. The carer I hired did an excellent job. She drove me to and from all my eye appointments & helped with a few errands today, and got along well with my kiddo.
3. I simply love my eye surgeon. He is kind & great bedside manner.
4. Kiddo is off to #FRC state championship for robotics. I’m so excited for him but sad I’ll miss most of it this year. Hopefully, I’ll join him on Saturday.

Congrats FIRST Robotics Competition #FRC Team 2702 on placing 3rd at the Ontario District University of Waterloo event this weekend and clinching a spot at the provincial championship in April.

In FRC, high school students and adult mentors design and build a robot and compete in a new game challenge every year.

My son's on the team this year, and I'm a mentor.

Both #SkyviewRobotics teams are competing this weekend and... I haven't been up since 4:00am. I'm not at the venue. I'm not working on losing my voice already. For the first time in 10 years, we're competing in a Saturday-Sunday event, not a Friday-Saturday. My brain is actively rejecting the oddity of it all. #FIRSTRobotics #FRC

FIRST Robotics time again, and this year I'm judging, which requires some pre-work.

The hardest part of judging is the final few rounds, when we're trying to decide to hand the award to the team that walks on water or the team that cures leprosy. Lemme tell you: one of the reasons I keep doing this event is that. The original purpose of FIRST is to inspire the next generation of students (originally the future engineers, but increasingly just good people who know how to be good to other people).

That's a head-fake. The inspiration is circular. These students make me want to stand up and demand the world be better because they fucking deserve better from it.

When I'm tired... Bone-tired, blood-tired, forty-years-in-the-same-flesh-tired... These kids ain't ready to quit yet and all of a sudden, neither am I.

Hey, Shop! 👋

We're excited to share a special guest, Spencer from Wingnuts!!!

He's here sharing all the work that goes into designing and organizing pit floors for competition! 🔧

I love these community showcase nights. I don't think the average person realizes just what goes into a #FIRSTRobotics season. This gives folks a way to tour our subteam work zones, from programming to construction, from component design to business development, from drive team training to tactics & strategy. It's all on full display for one night. I'm really looking forward to it. If you're in the #VanWa or #PDX area and want to check us out, come say 'hi.'

Ah, it's that time of year again: the time when volunteering for a high-school competition requires the mandatory background checks.

Always interesting to read the fine-print on these. You discover the most fascinating caveats.

It was great to have representatives from so many local #FIRSTRobotics teams join us for the season kickoff broadcast today. Can't wait to see all the new robots that will take the field in the coming weeks and months. 🥰

Tell me it's #FIRSTRobotics kickoff day without telling me it's kickoff day.
