I’m a queer lady, Erin Jr.’s mama, and Eryn’s partner. The three of us live in San Francisco, though Eryn and I both work in Cupertino. I love to travel, I enjoy watching sports, I have the unfortunate habits of collecting keyboards and watches, and I’m illegal in over 60 countries.

Like Frances, Eryn and I have also been rewatching The West Wing. Periodically on the show there are these moments where politicians from both parties solemnly uphold democratic norms while treating each other with respect and wow, those scenes hit different twenty years later.

W3C’s Advisory Committee & Advisory Board (the AC&AB) met this week in Hangzhou, in Zhejiang Province (浙江 (Zhèjiāng)), a bit southwest of Shanghai. Hangzhou is beautiful—you can easily see why Marco Polo called it La Cité du Ciel (The Heavenly City). The meetings were held at the Hua Jia Shan Guest House (花家山庄 (Huā...
End of an era: Tim Cook Will Step Down as Apple C.E.O., by Kalley Huang and Tripp Mickle. Community Letter from Tim, by Tim Cook. Also with big “end of an era” energy: Tick, by Chris.

Pour one out for another lost relic of the ’90s web. According to Wikipedia: As of February 7, 2026, the domain was put up for sale. The author claims it was...
EJ & I took the California Cable Car today to meet up with Eryn at her Iaido dojo, and from there the three of us walked to Japantown together for the annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival. The weather didn’t cooperate—it was overcast and rainy—but we had fun anyway. Fair food was eaten, crowds were...
It’s been 10 days since the last one of these link dumps, so this one is particularly long. Sorry! Hello, World, taken on April 3rd by Artemis Ⅱ mission commander Reid Wiseman. Artemis Ⅱ launched while I was in Geneva last week, and flew by the Moon yesterday. I’ve been following along with these tools: Patrick...
Eryn and I are watching Artemis Ⅱ’s lunar flyby right now and holy shit, they’re flying around the fucking Moon! #Artemis #Moon #NASA #space 🌖
Every Easter in SF the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence hold a Hunky Jesus contest in Dolores Park. Eryn and I went today: Cheez-Its Christ, the runner up today, was amazing. The winner this year was Renewable Jesus, who had a cross that rotated like a windmill. What can I say? The people of this city love the...
