An old-school elementary photoshoot of a toddler-age me. A 3-4 year old white boy in a blue striped polo leans on what appears to be fake grass with a tree backdrop. He has a big goofy smile and an egghead but he seems pretty confident things are going ok.

The subject is "Transcript Request", the Show is Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Category is "I've got a video or transcript request", and the description reads "I'd like a transcript of the meeting in which ABC management decided to allow ideas to be silenced by fear. I imagine this historical level of cowardice must have come with some good banter."

A screenshot of my Twitter reply to @ashtom (Thomas Dohmke). I say: Ooh nice rhyme! I have another: The evidence does show: if you can't embrace all devs, you shouldn't be GitHub CEO. I only heard about this tweet because of the near universal condemnation across all of my feeds. You may want to rethink.

A common meme, "guy tapping head", features a man tapping his temple which purports to have a good idea but it often used ironically for memes. Over the top in white text I've placed "cold air can't get in" up top and "if air can't get in" on the bottom.
A dialog box from the Postman API execution tool. Instead of executing my request, an orange dialog box pauses for 30 seconds (the screenshot shows a count of 16 seconds). A dialog box is displayed that says "You've hit the collection runs limit on your plan. you can use more runs once the timer ends. Don't want to wait to run your tests? Get Unlimited Runs With Add-on". That last portion of text is an orange button to a paid upgrade.
