Here in Philly. Having a blast. Learning about Teaching Open Source.
Which were in the women’s room in the Portland convention center, of all places.
Delicious, purple crack. OSCON speaker lounge for the win!
Was visiting Oregon State University to talk to the folks at the Open Source Lab, and while on campus I had a chance to step inside an art…reminded me of Andy Goldsworthy’s work.
Google Photos now makes these for you! Fun!
The other night at Chick-fil-a there was a guy who was standing at the menu board taking orders via an iPad (I suppose their intercom was ka-busted). When I pulled up I said:
me: “[kkrkrssshhh] Okay, now you do your part. [kkrkrssshhh]”
him: [quizzical look]
me: “[kkrkrssshhh] Now you say, ‘[kkrkrssshhh] Welcome to Chick-fil-a. May I take your order? [kkrkrssshhh]’.”
him: [light dawns]”[kkrkrssshhh] Welcome to Chick-fil-a. May I take your order? [kkrkrssshhh]”
me: “[kkrkrssshhh] Yes, I’d like a number one combo with no pickle, please, with a diet caffeine-free coke… [kkrkrssshhh]” (etc.)
Once he got the game he played along, and as I drove away he was grinning, so I either amused him or he thought I was a complete nut. (Or both.)
…Even if they don’t always work.
(inspired by too many Pinterest pins showing people rocking turbans and a very cool [significantly younger] woman I work with who makes this look totally runway-ready.)
Glad I’m brave enough to try…and wise enough to recognize the ridiculousness of the outcome.
