My bird of paradise is putting out a new leaf! The leaf large enough that it has to unfurl in segments. #plants
I'm really pleased with how much of the plant wall we were able to complete this weekend. This was my first time doing mitered corners, and they came out so clean. The sill at the base of the wall is removable to access the water... I'm actually surprised that we were able to get the tolerances right so that you can slide the base cover off.
What remains:
I took some cuttings before the frost and they just rooted. I feel like a plant magician.
I met some of my Canadian neighbors on a walk through golden gate park. Seems like I’m not the only one escaping the winter in sunny California.
Me and my new twitter friends going for ice cream at Salt & Straw after work.
The ice cream at Salt & Straw is described as some of the best in North America. That may be true, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the perfection of Mary's Milk Bar.
I wander the earth in search for an equally revelatory scoop.
I'm going to go to Homebrew website club next week.
Misreading some derivations you did months ago and fundamentally questioning whether or not you know what maths is feels like a uniquely grad-school thing.
I've heard many people say they need deadlines in order to get work done. Sometimes I wonder how much of a deadline's magic is just brutally enforced time-boxing. If your project necessarily has to end in a couple days, you'll allocate your time effectively. Time is scarce; you need to make the most of it! Conversely, long projects with vague deadlines have a habit of expanding to fit the time you give them.
