I'm a software developer and Managing Partner for Fynydd and Blue Sequoyah Technologies, the project lead for Coursabi, and Āthepedia founder. I also have several nerdy open source projects on Github.

If you gave #Trump an enema he could be buried in a matchbox.
Overzealous app design patterns for mouse hover modals, tips, and cards frequently cause user frustration by obscuring the items with which a user wants to interact.

At some locations, voters wrote their choice on a brightly colored 3x5 card.
At another site, a #CNN reporter watched as workers ran out of ballots and were handing out pieces of yellow legal paper for voters to record their choice.
Tell me again how the #GOP can possibly claim to be the party of election integrity.
After everything that Donald Trump has said and done, and which has been excused, minimized, and discounted by Republicans, they’re losing their shit over this?

It's refreshing to see that Progressive is eager to provide funding for my “fucking across a desk” business.
One of my favorite childhood candies, Fruit Stripe Gum, is being discontinued after 50 years. It was a solid 2 seconds of flavor and in retrospect I have no idea why I liked it so much.

Throwing goats is a dangerous pastime that can injure the goats. I recommend cow tipping as an alternative.
News Alert: The U.S. Healthcare System Is Still Fucked. Latest example, Blue Cross prescription formulary changes. Patient not told that medication is no longer covered, nor is the generic. Doctor has to guess on an alternative… denied. Rinse. Repeat.
So, #Microsoft wants developers to use an Electron app reliant on a dumpster full of plugins as their development IDE. What could possibly go wrong? #vscode
