So it begins again: #conftrekking to @beyondtellerrand.com underway! Bike bag is pretty impressively compact. Let’s see what the airline makes of it :)

Pretty excited. Heading to Düsseldorf in a few days for a truly amazing conference that is @beyondtellerrand.com and some cycling adventures with the guy who brings it to life @marcthiele.com 😁🚴🏼🚴🏽‍♀️🚴🏼‍♂️ so good talking to you this morning mate!

Got to start the day with a conversation about curiosity with @espiekermann.bsky.social . Monday off to a good start :) For all my friends attending @btconf.bsky.social next week, I’ll share a bit about it. On the fence? Still a ticket or two left! Come hang out in Düsseldorf

Snuck out super early again this morning and got almost 80km before work. Me: Yay! Got in almost 80km before work. Also me: going to nap under my desk b/c I rode almost 80km before work 😴😴😴 #cycling

A good reminder about the trap of design being data-dictated vs data-informed “Design is not a science of perfect optimization, but an art of purposeful choice.” https://medium.com/@ken_sigel/let-designers-design-the-creative-trap-of-endless-a-b-testing-2317c490cdf8

This is what happens when Goldberg leaves me to my own devices earlier in the morning: double-loop hundo, imperial edition. Avec snacks (courtesy of Goldberg) and a lovely cortado @borealiscoffee (first full hundo of the year) #cycling #roadcycling 165km/1089m/6:22

A long day out, much needed. Glad @byronwors entertains this nonsense: 91mi for #FondoOfTheMonthClub N°87 in a row. And it felt warm—until it didn’t. 146km/1598m/6:06 #cycling #roadcycling #strava #stravacycling #stravafondo

“The only disability is a negative attitude” - what an amazing outlook and story from 31-time Paralympic Olympian medalist Jessica Long. So honored to hear her talk to our team at Chewy

the real reason for the internet is just be to ensure our clocks are set correctly twice a year. Seems like a lot of overhead and drama comes along for the ride for that task.

I’m really chuffed to be heading back to bt and to be sharing something brand new about the role of curiosity in design [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Monday morning and peak nerd already found: OH at the train station: “You ever watch night court?” “It was on right before Dr Who. That was the only reason I ever saw it” “Did you ever read the books? They were so good” (Dr Who fan is wearing sunglasses and NASA fleece pants)

At what point did notifications on other platforms cease to have any bearing on someone actually having interacted with you? Little red dots everywhere letting me know that someone I might know reacted to someone else I don’t knows post is worse than useless 😡

Folks in larger design teams: how do you support mentorship? Is it a formal program? Ad Hoc? Driven by individuals or management? #design

Henry turned 1 on Wednesday. Just thought you should know.

Annual review ‘self-eval’ reflection and writing. A second year of ‘wow, that was a lot to go through and still deliver on a truckload of good stuff’ Would be ok with just a little less of the former this go round.

Remembrances & rituals. 85mi for #FondoOfTheMonthClub N°84 in a row. 7 years and counting—at least one ride over 100km per month. Started matching miles to the count. Having a goal keeps me on the bike, stretching the legs and clearing the mind. As always, a good day out. #cycling 139km/805m/5:19

Hair drier, boot drier. po-tay-to/po-tah-to

So excited about this—and will be talking about something entirely new! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Envious of my commuter rail table mate’s pro breakfast moves: breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel _and_ the glazed cake donut. Genius. I am now very hungry.

@lurkmoophy.bsky.social great webinar today! Nice to reconnect at least a little bit!

@erinmikail.bsky.social hello! Loved what you shared in the webinar (following up about contribution thoughts!)

So if a cyclops only has one eye, why isn’t it called a cyclop? #PonderingWordgames #AskingForAFriend

Debate: headwind or hills? Was not thinking it was an ‘and’ condition. Manville stuck in there at km 95 was just rude. But 85mi for #FondoOfTheMonthClub N°83 is in the books. #cycling #roadcycling #stravacycling 136km/1415m/5:25

This week was hard. Really hoping for just enough dry weather for a really good ride this weekend. I could really use it.

Sort of like if Cerberus was just really fluffy
