Two years ago today, our beloved office manager passed away unexpectedly. Julie was sharp-witted, adventurous, good-natured, and caring. Tonight, we sip brandy neat in her honor, and hold her memory close to our hearts. tenforward.consulting/blog/w… – at Wisconsin, USA

Chatted with someone who’s been working at a company as a front-end developer for 3 years. Their friend asked them to help build a website, but they had to decline. They didn’t know how.

Oooof. Was just subjected to the most credible phishing attempt I've experienced to date. Here were the steps: 1) "Hi, this is your bank. There was an attempt to use your card in Miami, Florida. Was this you?" Me: no.

I like my coffee like I like my browser tabs: An excessive amount to the point where it causes me mild anxiety ☕ 😬

This radar loop (via @markniss_) is over 25 hours long. To face this duration of Category 4/5 hurricane conditions is inconceivable. My thoughts this evening are with all those devastated by this terrible storm. #Dorian #Bahamas
