Bow down before the one you (soft) serve: Nine Inch Nails’ “Pretty Hate Machine” meets the unicorn frappuccino! Both contains lots of self-loathing.

Today's office is the great outdoors in lovely Clearwater. I'm finishing an article, overseeing the relocation of a web app, and -- of course -- continuing the job search.

Here’s a scene from last night’s Google Developer Group Sun Coast Meetup, which can be interpreted in two different ways...

There *really* is an old Donald Trump tweet for everything.

I had a grand old time as the guest presenter at tonight’s Google Developer Group Sun Coast Meetup. My presentation: “Android and Augmented Reality”, where I showed attendees how to code a Snapchat Lens-style Android augmented reality app. My thanks to everyone who attended!

There’s one spot left for my “Android and Augmented Reality” presentation at the GDG Sun Coast Meetup tonight at Tampa Bay WaVE! If you want to learn how to write face-detecting AR Android apps, you don’t want to miss this!

Job search, “reemployment assistance”, and schmoozing-by-helping-people-code stuff done. Time for the gym, ’cause I can’t skip leg day!

Afternoon accomplishment: Remotely pair programming an iPad hooked to an RFID reader with a guy who doesn't know Objective-C (and I haven’t touched Objective-C since 2014). Somehow we're making it work.

This isn’t the future we expected. I even would’ve accepted flying fursuits.

My SUV doesn’t have a winch, but maybe I could hook the “Wench Power” switch to open a special trunk containing a ready-to-deploy accordion.

My job search has had its ups and downs, but it’s been an adventure all the way, and it’s kept me quite busy.

I should apply for this just for fun. I’m an experienced brand ambassador, I like a challenge, and what have they got to lose at this point?
