Just a proud dad post. One off to university to be an environmental engineer, the other tearing up the record book for high school track and field.

@majorleaguebaseball every time I think you couldn’t possibly ruin the American pastime you always come through with some all-new level of shit.

Am I peeking you or are you peaking me? Parakeet on Hampstead Heath.

I saw this flitter on my way to Hyde Park, and found this great tit on a windowsill. Luckily, I got these shots! First time I’ve seen one! #birds

Tree swallow keeping an eye on things. #birds

Baby #squirrel encounter.

I get paid to do this stuff! #userexperience opportunities to build your dream library means a penguin staffing a circulating tool collection.

Dinosaurs walk the earth!

Soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines: pay attention to how they are treating our veterans. That’s what’s in store for you when you are no longer useful to their aims.

@durbin.senate.gov - you knuckleheads think they are playing checkers while you’re playing chess. But you’re playing chess while they’re playing Nahtzee.

“Compliance is the starting block, inclusion is the finish line.” - Craig Abbott #axecon

Just pulled a footlong clog from the shower drain and, as an American in 2025, it’s the only thing I’ve been proud of this year.

Now more than ever.

Hey, do you like #goodmusic? I saw this guy play at the Six Bells in Cambridge, England and he’s phenomenal. New single out now! #imlac

A hermit thrush and I meet face-to-face; game recognizes game. #birds

From May 2023, baby bald eagles don’t get their signature piebald feathers until after their first year. This one has strong Muppet vibes. #birds #baldeagle #birdingillinois

“If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” - Abraham Lincoln, 1838

Spent some time with this beautiful lady this afternoon. #pileatedwoodpecker #birding #addbirder

Justice Department asks Supreme Court to rule narrowly on whether the ADA protects retirees https://buff.ly/4agmYfb #a11y

This is the best woodcarving I’ve ever done. I was asked to create something that captured a mother’s grief at losing her adult child in an accident. It was an honor to even try.

Just bringing a few of my all-time favorites with me: a female pileated woodpecker. The second largest American woodpecker if you include the ivorybilled which I still believe is out there somewhere.

Toilets have come to occupy much of my thinking in #userexperience / #ux work from both an accessibility and inclusion frame of reference so I end up awkward photographing toilet setups I like. This is at the botanical garden in Cambridge, England. Wish it were wheelchair accessible.

A leucistic goldfinch was hanging around my in-laws’ backyard. This is a genetic issue that keeps the melanin from reaching all its feathers. So this normally yellow and black bird is all white except for its light yellow head.

Hey, can I get a whiteboard as big as my office? I have some stuff to keep track of.

Winter birding gloves. Left hand holds the camera so just needs warmth. Right hand clicks the button so index finger is a convertible. Not a pair, but they match my needs. UX is like that. #ux #userexperience #uxlibs

Thanks to Rosario’s mad skills, we’re launching our UX zine at the library, hoping it’s a fun de-stresser and users might share their insights with us. #ux #userexperience #uxlibs

The rare day working from home gives me the even rarer chance of catching up on reading. Now: let’s see if this @andypriestner.bsky.social has any clue what he’s on about! #uxlibs
