Who's with me? I know I waste an embarrassing amount of time on X and Insta. I can easily cut back on both and have plenty of time to follow along. If you're not sure... Start with the primer below and then take a look at Chad Bird recent posts. He's a brilliant teacher.

Whoop!

JavaMUG Meets tonight! We are aware there is some snow/ice heading our way but all reports have that hitting tomorrow morning. Looking forward to our first meeting of 2025. Please RT

Epic night! Can’t really describe how crazy and unique that was! And huge win for Borussia Dortmund !!

I will be there for the pizza, java, and Java!

Only my wine collecting friends will appreciate this but I hit a good "milestone" with my cellar. I went to go pull 4 bottles for a party my wife is hosting tonight and the bottles were all covered in a fine layer of dust. Cold, dark, damp and now dusty. ✔︎✔︎✔︎ and now ✔︎

The best college team in each state to start out. 👀

Who out there is ignoring their old #Picoin (Pi Network)? A few years ago somebody sent me a referral code and low-and-behold I'm sitting on 1100+ coins that will be worth "real" money on 2/20. If you had the app in the past, reload and finish your KYC! coinpedia.org/news/pi-networ…

God bless 🇺🇸!!

From a letter in the Saturday edition of the Wall Street Journal:

Home from Atlanta and the great, Devnexus conference. I must thank Vincent Mayers, pratik patel and the Atlanta Java Users Group volunteers for putting on such a great show. Also need to thank the awesome speakers. Great content and insights! It will take me weeks to unpack everything I learned!

I'm gonna be there. Looking forward to seeing [daviddryparry] and hearing his talk on AI Assisted Coding. Who's with me?!?!

Amazing game and comeback!! On to the QF!

If I could find one wifi-enabled I might use one today! 😍 That "gadget" blew my mind as a kid.

I'll be there! Who else is going?

Prove me wrong... Brach's jelly beans are the perfect candy

I wouldn't even think about missing the chance to hear Andrew Rubalcaba !! I hope to see all of DFW there tomorrow night.

Had a great time last week at #StripeSessions2025 last week. One of the cool perks on the vendor floor was a booth by Two Dudes Photo where they took professional headshots. So I'm updating my old 2009 headshot. That may have also been the last time I wore a suit and tie. 😂

I will be there tonight. Who is joining me?
