I am finally learning to use HTML. It isn’t as hard as I thought, but I wish I’d learned it a long time ago.

I should have joined the computer club in high school, but it was all boys.

In college, the computer science lab smelled and was always strewn with gross food. Maybe if I had met Joe and Wes earlier, I could have learned to breathe through my mouth.

Did nerdy boys prevent me from learning? I don’t think they really did.

I can create links too. Here is a photo of me eating a McFlurry at a really fancy McDonald’s in London. They aren’t more civilized than Americans, but their fast food restaurants are way prettier.

Melky is the love of my life.

This is an iconic SF Giants photo of Buster and Brian. This was back in the day when Brian still played and wasn’t recovering.

I love to make lists. I like making lists more than I like most people. Now I can make them in HTML. It’s, like, the most legit way to make them.

The Gold Rush

-something I learned too much about as a kid.

Live Oak School

-my first school. Only 20 kids a grade.

Contact Improv

-the worst class I took in college.

Dogs

-something I like way more in theory than up close.

Speaker toys

-a new collection that adds to people maybe mistaking me for kid.

Ohio

-a state where I lived for 4 year. I mostly miss its leaves and trees.

Ann Arbor

-my whole family went to school here, except me. I think that’s okay.

Mice and rats

-my least favorite animals. The only thing that I have nightmares about.

A really cool form I made that to help a UCSF lab with a study they are working on. Please help the scientific community.

Behold, Donald Mittens, Mike’s monkey from class last week.  His monkey is named after Donald Glover on Community, but since I don’t watch it, I’m at a loss.

Donald Mittens has a heart on his hand and a lovely red scarf.

Congrats to Mike on finishing his first monkey!  I love it!

Recently I have become obsessed with succulent plants.  To share my love, I am (**GASP**) branching out from monkey-making and I’m going to teach a succulent terrarium making class.  Students will plant the succulents and design habitats for gardens gnomes, deer, and other creatures (plastic). I’ll provide all materials, all you have to do is come and dig in the dirt, or so to speak!

SIGN UP HERE!

This class is part of Skillshare Night, the joint venture between Skillshare & Hub Bay Area. Skillshare Night brings Skillshare’s thriving community together in one of the most unique physical spaces in San Francisco – the co-working space Hub Soma – to share not only skills but also conversation. Skillshare Night runs from 7 PM to 9:30 PM, with classes from 7 PM to 9 PM and an amazing post-class “mixer” from 9 PM to 9:30 PM. During the latter, drinks & light bites will be provided and conversation around the Night’s learnings is (of course) highly encouraged!

I’m teaching my monkey making class this weekend on Saturday, Jan 14 at 1pm at the Summit SF!  It’s gonna be my last one at the Summit because they’re relocating.  I’m so grateful to them for letting me have classes there, and I hope you all keep going there until January 28.

I’ve got plans to teach a succulent terrarium class soon, so let me know if you or your pals are interested.
