Some days just call for a big pot of pinto beans.

Currently at Reddit, I spent 10 years as a community organizer on the WordPress open source project. I'm also an avid reader, wine enthusiast, and parent of two.

Dinner time
My officemate today
The stomach bug that has been cycling through our school finally hit our household. I’m working in spreadsheets, and Amelia’s convalescing with Blue Planet on the iPad, under the most cheerful afghan in the world. 
Almost-free weights
So stoked to have found these hand weights at Goodwill — two pairs for under ten bucks! A new set of 8lb hand weights is like $30+ on Amazon, so I’m feeling very proud of my thriftiness. Watch out, basement circuit training — I’m ready to rock ya!

Glad to dine with these two again
So glad to be home again with the family, not to mention having a home-cooked (by me) meal.

Yarn Party
This year for the first time at an Automattic Grand Meetup, I organized an activity — a yarn party! A bunch of my coworkers, already united by WordPress, also share a love of fiber arts. It was nice to take a break from intense discussions and activities to just work on some knitting or crochet projects. I even taught a few developers how to knit, which was really fun! I’d love to do this again next year.
