Nearly four months later, I’ve finally got my car back. The engine apparently seized up and required a new short block, starter, and a new battery.
Sadly, they appear to have left the windows down the entire time, so it’s going to take some serious cleaning inside to get everything clean.
Giving a short 15 minute talk on some basic IndieWeb ideas, particularly with an eye toward science communication, to a great turnout of students at the Space Apps Challenge 2018 Kickoff event as part of Connect Pasadena.
For those interested, I’m giving a more advanced version of this talk at the upcoming WordCamp Riverside on November 3rd.
Oops! Accidentally went to the corporate offices when I should have gone to their labs location 3 blocks South…
Picking up my adult tuberculosis risk assessment certificate.
Quite odd that it’s a short questionnaire instead of the usual old skin test, which is what I had expected.

Stopped for a few minutes to watch the impressive lightening storm that is brewing toward the South.
Attending the weekly Innovate Pasadena Friday Coffee Meetup to hear about The Future of Healthcare: Digital Health Becomes Personal.
Update after the talk
The presentation was interesting, but awfully dull. There was nothing I wasn’t aware of and nothing truly groundbreaking on the tech side. It’s actually a bit more of the same from the perspective of someone trying to use an app to improve public health. The futility of the process reminds me a lot of the issues that the edtech sector faces with people trying to innovate in education. Everyone seems to be falling into the same old traps and ultimately not making the massive difference they’re looking to effect.
It rarely, if ever, happens, but the presenters literally jammed out of the room before the event was completely over. Many were shocked by it.
