#millennialpledges I will - wait sorry what’s a millennial again? Oh I see. Never mind.

Good luck!

Got a delicious breakfast sandwich on a pesto bagel. Of course, I ordered a garlic bagel. Oops. Hopefully someone else likes their garlic.

Starting to believe that README.md encourages bad doc habits.

“To install, see URL”

Can’t bother to paste inline or even have INSTALL.md?

It’s a beautiful day in Portland. Perfect for coffee and #PyDX.

Minimum wage is employer’s way of saying “if we could legally pay you less we would.” - @justinabrahms #PyDX

You get diminishing returns on “more money” for happiness (~$75k according to studies) - @justinabrahms #PyDX

Budgeting challenge: live on 30-50% of your income. #s different for lower pay of course. Avoid lifestyle inflation. - @justinabrahms #PyDX

Talking about cars, from @justinabrahms. Short version: expensive to get, expensive to own. Consider alternatives, or use it less. #PyDX

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 09:29

oh jeez ppl if you’re only eating 10 distinct meals a month get a cookbook or subscribe to a menu mailer. not what @justinabrahms said #PyDX

Have an emergency fund for expense spikes. @justinabrahms channeling Dave Ramsey #PyDX

(emergency fund has helped me several times)

ok too much awesome from @lunaraven13 and not even 5 minutes in. #pydx

You don’t want to spend the rest of your life doing things you like but don’t necessarily love. Doesn’t matter how old you are. @lunaraven13

If I could become a pastry chef at 27 don’t see why I can’t be a programmer at 40. @lunaraven13 #pydx

Strong encouragement from @lunaraven13 for men to mentor women (but not hover). Having a mentor makes a big difference for novices. #pydx

“Dudes are people.”

Shocking claims from @lunaraven13 #pydx

“Nobody should be telling you you can’t do something.” closing from @lunaraven13 #pydx

Starting to understand why I need social/crowd/talk breaks. I really commit to them. My collection of tweetstorms provides evidence.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 10:46

Knitting time.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 12:10

It’s a three and a half hour drive home. Better get from #PyDX while the getting’s good. Fun time though. Met cool folks, saw great talks.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 13:28

The sign said “โ˜•๏ธ” but there’s no โ˜•๏ธ. ๐Ÿ˜”

Oh well. I’ll just enjoy the ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ. http://t.co/251hY8UPEa

As rest stops go this one is less scenic and more picnic.

I don’t know why I’m telling you this.

It’s 82 miles to Seattle. There’s no smoking in this car. It’s bright and we’re wearing glasses. Hit it.

Lacks Blues Brothers oomph.

Pit stop in Olympia. Haven’t visited this neighborhood in about 15 years. Signage suggests it hasn’t changed much.

Getting some serious nostalgia here folks.

I learned about non-mutant non-spandex non-Heavy-Metal comics at @DangerRoomOly. Had to buy something.

Final step of conf weekend: getting the #PyDX stickers on the main laptop at home.

Wait I saw no @genehack clones at #PyDX. They were at #yapcna. They were at #pnwphp. But not this time.

Somehow that creeps me out more.

I AM EATING FOOD THAT I MADE AND PUT ON A PLATE IN MY KITCHEN.

Sorry.

I’m just real excited about dinner at home.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 19:12

I made many stops on the way to #PyDX. Many more coming back. Road trip with me would be like if you let a crow drive.

A big crow, obvs.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 19:49

Oh, just follow @lunaraven13.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 20:21

Reminded this weekend: many homeless live in their cars. Rest stops & campgrounds are closest thing to a welcoming space for them.

Ok fine I get it. Steven Universe is awesome and I should be watching.

Starting the first episode now.

Sheesh.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 20:51

Apple Message chaos for me tonight. Because I upgraded iOS, apparently.

It Just Works.

LRT: I would’ve gone with “cooties”, but “religion” is good too.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 21:40

Hm. Yes. This Steven Universe thing entertains me. I shall watch more episodes soon.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 21:55

Yep, definitely on that threshold of not enough sleep and too much awake.

Twitter: 2015-10-11 Sun 22:54

Home from #pydx.

Tired.

Nearly got minty fresh nostrils in toothbrush incident.

Bed.

Cozy.
