Species goal met! I was a little worried when I arrived at the Tijuana River Estuary because there wasn’t much activity going on. I heard and saw the Savana Sparrows. I heard and eventually saw the Ridgeway Rail. But there wasn’t much else for a while. I finally caught a...

Just finished a hot hike in the sun at Lake Hodges and added 8 more species with a list of 24. The cutest had to be the covey of California Quail which included a bunch of babies. I also heard a few Bell’s Vireos. There was also a gnatcatcher though...

My mind is currently stuck on if I should pre-order a Pebble Round 2 smart watch. I love a good smart watch but most I’ve tried haven’t lasted more than a year and a half so I’m hesitant to try again…

I’m really excited to be attending IWC SD for the third year in a row. It’s a fun time to discuss what you can do with personal websites. While there are lots of technical problems discussed, I have found that solving the online social/communal problems are just as important. Plus...

How long till someone holds Uber and Lyft accountable for false advertising on estimated wait times? It seems like “1-3 minutes” is always “20-30 minutes”.

🎵 Listening to Wood by Taylor Swift. Shout out to Stefan Pettersson from Sweden for his bass playing on the song Wood. Their own records aren’t quite my style but I’m glad they were asked to contribute. Really killed it on that song. I still haven’t decided how I feel...
