Wow.

Gratitude. Sadie's journey has ended, her heart was removed and is en route to save a life. Her kidneys were removed and will both go together to save a second life. Unfortunately, her liver was determined to be not healthy enough for donation in the operating room. Our family was able to perform the honor walk with Sadie to the Operating Room, which involved all staff at the hospital lining the halls silently in respect. (I was incorrect in a previous post when i thought they would be cheering) When we arrived at the end of the walk, Sadie's mother, sisters, and I were allowed a last moment. And yes, we sang baby shark. I whispered to my baby that I did my best to walk her out and that i promised i would come find her. There were security guards stationed at the door of the OR, and they followed us back to the waiting room. My family left, and I stayed with my closest friends (looking at you @jeffbcross) to be as near as allowed to Sadie's body for her final heart beats. I joked to the security guards if they were there for me, and assured them that I wouldn't make any trouble, and that the last thing i wanted to do was jeopardize or tarnish Sadie's legacy. They were kind, and expressed their sympathy and condolences. One of the gentlemen there (I had seen him before, but wasn't sure if he was staff or security) but he presented us with his father's Trident pin from his Navy Seal Days, saying that i Sadie embodied everything that pin stood for, and that he would be honored for Sadie to be buried with it. The gravity of that gesture was not lost on me - I was well acquainted with the significance of that trident. I was hoping some maverick surgeon or doctor might've seen my story and might send someone to the waiting room to sneak me into the OR, but that never happened. A small group of Sadie's caregivers came out around 4am to let us know the results, and my inner circle helped me leave the hospital for good after just under a week when i had first arrived there early Saturday morning. Sadie's body goes to the coroner's next, and then to the funeral home while I finalize her final resting place. Gratitude. Humbly, I did my best. It wasn't perfect, it wasn't pretty. But when I'm an old man still crying over my Sadie taken from me too soon, at least I'll be able to look at this week and be proud of how I conducted myself. I felt two communities enwrap me: both my tech friends here on twitter and my new local friends on Facebook. I hope this wasn't all selfish, and that I was able to give back to both of these communities in some way. I know both of y'all blessed me beyond anything I could have ever imagined with your response. Jeff has been wanting me to move back to Arizona for awhile now... but I'm sorry Jeff. My Sadie's spirit is here now. I don't know if i could ever leave that. Or the local community that rallied to me, a newcomer that just moved here this summer. Gratitude. Almost 4 years with the sweetest, kindness, most loving, beautiful girl anyone ever did see. Thank you my Sadie. I did my best to walk you home. I will find you. Gratitude.

Here here… most folks never see the incredible amount of work Corey (@vCommunityGuy) puts into this every year… I’m grateful this program will continue to grow! Looking forward to seeing what folks do with their #vExpert memberships (mine included, I have no idea yet lol)

Watching @starbuxman present this afternoon. It's an absolute joy! If you're into Spring, I highly recommend you find a way to watch this man do his thing live.

If your finding this tweet because you searched 928563402, @etrade likely duplicated trades and your 1099 will have to be hand adjusted by your CPA/Enrolled Agent. It's also likely time to move to a competent brokerage who can fill out a 1099 correctly. #AVGO #VMW

I just tried showing Open Interpreter (w/ OS control) an image of a servo arduino. It opened the Arduino IDE, wrote a simple program & the servo was moving 🤯 This is the future of learning to program IoT devices! @hellokillian Open Interpreter is amazing 🫡

Second run on the new @shapeoko! Had DALL-E generate me a tribal-style, line-art, wolf face, and then vectorized it, imported it into Carbide Create to give it tool paths, and ran! Super fun proof of concept! [Ignore that cut line on the top left. The blank was scrap.]

Texas generated more than twice as much renewable electricity as California, or as much renewable electricity as the next top three states combined.

Hey @audible_com - will there be a year in review stat drop for listeners, or is there a dashboard users can access?

With our latest software release, we believe we’ve created something that Apple can tolerate existing. We do not have any current plans to respond if this solution is knocked offline. The iMessage connection software that powers Beeper Mini is now 100% open source. Anyone who wants can continue to develop it if they’d like. github.com/beeper/imessage

Woah 😳

I'm nearly done with my latest woodworking project. Need to clean up two joints, and glue it all up!

The more I think about the Beeper Mini vs. iMessage thing, the more I think back to the fact that we had third-party clients for AIM, ICQ, MSN, and many other messaging tools for years.

Affected Beeper Cloud users - please contact Beeper Help. We can fix it very easily for you if you let us know
