I learned it’s weird to talk to your coworkers about your showering habits.
The slightly uncomfortable laughs gave it away.
But it’s been on my mind because I’ve been doing something different in the shower lately. I think showers are more than just a way to get clean. They’re also a space to think. While most people have “shower thoughts”, I bet a majority can’t remember them.
When I say that showers are a “space to think”, I don’t just mean they’re a place to have thoughts pop in and out.
Note to self: I want to write an article soon. It’s been a while.
I just discovered and used screenshotr.app for my previous post. This is an awesome free tool for making screenshots look more interesting and professional!
I removed my bio from the header of my blog and improved the user experience on my subscribe page to make the call-to-action clearer. I like the minimal look. 👍🧹

Had a beautiful walk after working from a coffee shop this afternoon.
Coffee shop hack: bring your own stroopwafel ☕🧇
One of my wife’s many good ideas.
I kinda like Comic Sans. Also, today I learned that if you google Comic Sans or Vincent Connare (the guy that created it) the results come back in Comic Sans.
Love or hate the font, you gotta love internet easter eggs.
Dang, Google Photos over here making me cry 😭 It finds video snippets of my daughter, puts them in slow motion, and plays emotional piano music in the background 🥹
I would love to hear from the product team crafting these experiences and what their goal is for Photos. Not a feature I would think of putting in a Photos app, but I’ve really enjoyed it! I love that it surfaces nostalgic memories for me!
LinkedIn is cool sometimes
LinkedIn can be so cool sometimes. I connected with Mural’s VP of Product, Matt Crawford, and we got to talking about my experience.
I told him I LOVE using Mural for user story maps, but I’m having trouble integrating with Jira because of how our instance is set up at NASA.
Lo and behold, the current problem I’m having integrating Mural with Jira Data Center is a priority for him right now and they’re running a pilot program.
Feeling extra tired this morning. Started reading scripture but kept falling asleep. Ended up just throwing punches in the air to keep myself awake while I read. I’m glad I was alone, I probably looked crazy…
But it’s a nice new trick to keep myself awake while reading early in the morning. 🥊
