Lady Bird is the 99 cent rental film on iTunes right now. I loved this film! 🎬 PS. 99rental.com is a great one to add to your RSS reader.
I saw Solo. It’s been awhile since I went on opening night. I also saw trailers for 3 films that kinda blended together into one generic summer blockbuster action film: Skyscraper, Mission Impossible, and I can’t even remember the third one. 🤷♀️
The new @theweeklyreview is up! James and I put some popular productivity metaphors through the wringer, as we try to figure out the best ways to getting back on track when life derails our best laid plans. Episode 5: A Container of Pebbles

Everyone is welcome. Bring your own lunch. We’ll decide the exact time and location on June 3rd, when we are there to scope out the options. It will be close to the convention center and the time will coincide with the WWDC lunch break.

I had a great chat with Mike Haynes, @mikedotfm for the Micro Monday Microcast. He created @dialog, the Android app for Micro.blog. Another fun interview with yet another cool person using Micro.blog! 🎙

I posted an email interview I conducted with @hartlco, Martin Hartl, on @monday. I asked him about his Micro.blog app Icro and how he got started in app development. And of course, I had to ask him about pets!
Oh, this is new, from the transcription service: “Trint now offers ‘English – All Accents.’ Try it on files with multiple English accents and for any English accent outside UK, North American and Australian.” How convenient I can use it now for the interviews w/Jess and Serena!
I have gotten behind on Micro @monday transcripts. I’m sorry, everyone who is waiting to read the interviews with @herself and @Vishae.
I am working on a special double-header edition of Micro @monday for tomorrow!

Rating the fortune cookie fortunes I’ve been collecting. “A goal is a dream with a deadline” was the first one I saved, during initial @appcamp4girls planning!
Decided to review my fortune cookie fortune collection as part of a decluttering sprint. One will be coming down. (Thank goodness I learned that executive ability is not my forte!)
