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!

I spent way more time building this page than I wanted. But now you can find the contact info for your elected officials AND you can tell them to support house resolution 5785. Spring break is over, I will build more later LoL

Cleaned up my app and put it on a subdomain!

I could probably wrap this up and share it as a standalone Mastodon client next month. It's possible I donate the code to my nonprofit but I started building this for a reason.

Nothing to see here... Just Google removing the API that legislative advocates use to contact representatives LoL

First #WebDev YouTube!

Our spring internship at the Lift & Shift Foundation has about a month left, so I took a few mins to clean up and comment all the contributions. Decided I'd open our YouTube/Twitch for the 1st time in a couple years.

So Autodesk is nearly doubling the fees for a Fusion 360 non-profit license. It's a pretty crappy move considering many of these licenses are for educators.

Reason for the corporate fee hike? New fees "reflect changes to the current retail value of these products."

We won't be renewing any Autodesk license. And I sincerely hope they enjoy the competition.

Feeling even more like an Ivy League genius today, for being one of the very few people ever to transfer OUT of Columbia to finish my undergrad. They're a hot mess.

I just asked Google Gemini a relatively simple math question. It drew a code snippet box and created an elaborate equation using the Σ symbol, like a textbook 😝

After the code box, it added this explanation before listing example problems 💀

Here, Σ (sigma) represents the sum.

WOW! Installed Thunderbird just before the weekend started and set my inbox to trust SpamAssassin for junk filtering. Only noticed my desktop has been amazingly quiet after checking mobile notifications. Is K-9 Mail the Android #email app for #mozilla?

@mpldr I didn't see Thunderbird in the app store but I'll be looking for sure.

@mpldr When I went looking to download Thunderbird I came across articles claiming it was no longer maintained. I figured K-9 Mail might be the long term replacement with all the shuffling at Mozilla.

I think I've decided I would like the ability to quote post myself here in the Fediverse.

Not gonna go full Aaron Rogers but determined to accelerate my calf tear rehab. My plan is less bananas than Aaron's: basically RICE + acupuncture. Meanwhile it's arms and shoulders day with today's gym jams. Move your ass, it's good for you.

Bad take on #trump? Or a good egg with people other than Trump on her mind? I'm on the fence but leaning good egg.

@Thorsten_Guenther I stand by my "good egg" opinion of counsel here. I could not do her job
