Today is my birthday so give me boosts.

(it's legitimately my birthday, this isn't a bit I swear)

New member with great expectations.

Hello World!

I'm not a programmer, nor do I come from twitter, so forgive me if I find no use for the hashtag here (I only use it when talking to the preprocessor). However, this is an

introduction.

I'm a composer, but I also do animations, relief prints and some writing. Curiosity brought me here, and possibly also the promise of being able to post equations should I ever need to.

#introduction Like others, I got frustrated with the birdsite and migrated here. Finally settled on an identity and instance. I work in the #webdev world, but I'm not a dev (I tell the devs when they write terrible code). Personally, I'm an amateur #polymath, so my interests are everywhere. A few: #STEM #programming #classicfilm #reading #genealogy #python #impressionism #philosophy #psychology #sociology #religion #gaming #britcoms #travel #history #writing #jazz #blues #filmnoir #datascience

I’m Lyle Troxell from Santa Cruz, CA. I’m a software engineer, podcaster, maker, photographer, and father. I’m currently improving my blacksmithing skills, researching software arts / translation, and refreshing my JavaScript knowledge.
I work at Netflix on the iOS App, and create the WeAreNetflix podcast as well as my personal podcast “Geek Speak with Lyle Troxell”. I try to keep up on technology and how it affects society. #introduction

#introduction Hi!

I'm a #ComputerScience student currently pursuing my Master's degree.

I also have a previous career in the humanities, with a bachelor's degree in #GenderStudies and a Master's in #LibraryAndInformationScience, and I still work extra as an academic librarian (mostly minding the circulation desk).

Beyond academia my interests are #PottedPlants, #Swimming, #Running, and #SciFi. I am a #CERN IT department alumni.

#introductions
Oh, I totally forgot about this... So, this is me:
I am a #linguist, working as a web editor/translation manager. I am a brand-new house owner and #homebrewer. I listen to #prog and other kinds of interesting music. I enjoy reading/watching #sci-fi and #fantasy in the broadest sense. I like #running (slowly) and #swimming (somewhat faster). I support #green thinking, #equality and political elightenment.

Boost to share the gift of opossums!

@Blackmonk By cultivating our minds as hard as many are cultivating their bodies. #Narcissism is the eye blinder here, IMO.

When you love a person, if you do, you make their problem your own.

If you have a child, the whole world is your problem.

So there are different people from different countries and do not care about grammatical mistakes. Cool, I like it! 🤞🏻👍🏻

Hey all! I'm an Australian PhD student working in supramolecular chemistry (mainly photoswitch related, with lots of supporting NMR studies). Alongside the chemistry I play music, dance, and have interests in politics/international relations/global security (any open-source analysts hanging around here?).

I've tried mastodon on and off a few times before this account, but never really managed to find a critical mass of enough others with shared interests to keep me here. With all the interest M's been picking up recently, it seemed like it might be worth trying again!

@Blackmonk anytime.
