Biomedical engineer chasing PhDs. Oh, I also run marathons, the Lift & Shift Foundation, and Project Biotech. Once upon a time - US Army Civil Affairs guy.

Irony? I hate people. Don't go misplacing my words...They're all mine!

NEED HELP!!!

Been writing all weekend - a formal letter and 2 articles. Now that I'm down to final edits before submission, the only thing happening is procrastination. 😒

I quashed my weeklong ordering beef with Oakley (they couldn't read my Rx LoL) and I'll have these new corrective lenses in about a week. I couldn't order "sunglasses" with progressive lenses so I found ClubFace, which is a wireframe pair of regular glasses.

I'm still new to the world of eyeglasses and very interested in how everyone else gets their SUNGLASSES. 3rd party orders? Straight from maker like Oakley or Warby Parker? Please share

Anyone care to take a guess how long "temporary" is? #Facebook #Privacy

Extremely pumped to see our nonprofit start giving Mattermost a test spin now that I have the server set up. Might do some live streaming to show it off

@w7voa judging by how the organization collectively clamors over him at public events, I assume internally they're very conflicted about this

Is social media killing our children?

New data reveals the damage social media is causing young people, but do the tech giants care?

@stux having this same discussion with a scientific panel here in the US - one of my objectives is to highlight the damage being done by a lack of science and health literacy

Back from a long morning in the VA's facial reconstruction clinic. The verdict? I'm too aggressive in the gym. Docs tried to talk me into simmering down 🤔 but also reinstalled my prosthetic 🤣

"Wow you look good for your age, but..."

Today my docs basically tried to tell me that I'm too old to keep training the way I do. They did not consult the nurse who's known me for 30yrs

Good to know there are extremely high quality people with no serious mental health issues who still have my cell and also still keep up on all my socials. Not icky at all

I'm still not following enough profiles to get discussions about #news and #currentEvents in my feed. Who else should I be following?

Every day this week I get an update email on my Oakley prescription order. The update is they can't read my Rx.

Irony, dear reader, is ordering corrective lenses from a system that can't read LoL

So I spent longer than expected working on the privacy settings in the new @pixelfed app

I don't regret it, we have some pretty awesome privacy features!

Looking forward to shipping the new mobile app, and working with artists, creatives and photogs to make our platform better for everyone.

It's not who did it first, it's who did it right ✨
