I’d rather GitHub stay independent, but of all that could buy it, Microsoft feels okay.

Took advantage of cool weather this morning and spent 2 hours clearing brush from the lakeshore. Nice before/after from the Dropcam.

Was a great evening for s’mores! 🔥

Introduced a bunch of new people to Skittles today. 👍🏻

Great conversation tonight at Meditation and the Science of Human Flourishing with Mingyur Rinpoche and Richard Davidson hosted by Tergar Meditation Community.

Dropped my full cup of Dunn Bros coffee all over my desk, pouring 80% of it all over the place.

Then attempting to mute the conference call I’m on, I hit the wrong button and hang up. I need to hit reset on this day and it’s not even 8am.

My children both tend to pick Comic Sans when picking a type. 😳 I have no idea where I went wrong. 🤦🏼‍♂️

First tubing of 2018 today! 💦😁

Look up - sunny! ☀️

Freakish heavy rain, hail and high wind weather came out of nowhere. ⛈💨

Officially summer now. 👏☀️

Getting rid of some old cables. 😳

Got my pre-order of OmniFocus 3 in! 👍🏻

Had a fun time recording an interview with Matt Norman today for his Humble Leadership series. 📹
