Walking with the Poppy dog above Martinez, CA while Audrey runs and trains for her race.

Pigeon busted flying into prison with a backpack of meth. Expert from the Vancouver Poultry & Fancy Pigeon Association said there are two plausible ways to use a pigeon to deliver drugs. One, someone could throw the pigeon over the fence into the prison. Second, an inmate could spend months training the bird from the inside to recognize the prison as its home. Someone would get the bird to the outside, fasten its cargo and release it to return home to the prison. https://boingboing.net/2023/01/06/pigeon-busted-flying-into-prison-with-a-backpack-of-meth.html

Time, Markets, and APIs - https://apievangelist.com/2023/01/04/time-markets-and-apis/

@njyx I was today year old when I realized that where we held API Strat in Amsterdam was the site of the first stock exchange - https://www.beursgeschiedenis.nl/en/moment/the-exchange-of-hendrick-de-keyser/

OK. I am on the Post platform now too - https://post.news/kinlane -- but I broke my golden rule that I don't use platforms that do not have a public API. So we'll see how long I stay. If I can't get data in or out in a programmatic way -- nothing else matters.

Coming online for the new year....YES, positive reviews and feedback on new book!!!....oh one of my favorite and enduring stalkers has spent their holidays commenting on each one talking trash about me. Let's do this 2023!!

I spent 2010-2019 working for myself, and the last 3+ years in a great job. The view of my email inbox and the emotions it triggers are wildly different between these two states. I dread my inbox these days with all the people wanting things from me, and back in the day I loved seeing who wanted things from me.

I am capable of going down almost any technological rabbit hole, the challenge is knowing when I should and when I shouldn't. I am constantly struggling with this in what I do in my work.

So far I have created 25 separate Mastodon API capability collections, allowing me to automate common things I do with accounts, bookmarks, favorites, followers, lookups, post of statuses, searching accounts, hashtags, and statuses, timelines, trends, as well as verify my account. I'll keep building out new ones and augmenting them based upon my needs or what I hear from others. Feel free to fork and use! https://www.postman.com/api-evangelist/workspace/89a20890-1ad3-47d7-850c-51f678e1a716/overview
