Google Data Studio's TOS includes a HIPAA Addendum. Given @Google's commitment to education, I'm surprised that no similar agreement for #FERPA exists. Without one, we can't use the tool to analyze student data. @GoogleForEdu @googleanalytics @SDPConsortium #StudentDataPrivacy

Listen, I’m all for space exploration and it must have been an amazing view. But maybe – and I’m just spitballing here – if Amazon and other companies paid their fair share in taxes, we could lift all kids — if not into space — at least out of poverty. Sincerely, Earthlings


Project is roughly 90% complete. Do you a) write the final html templates or, b) refactor the code to be more modular and then focus on an awesome new build system to stitch those new components together? #NotAPoll #ObviouslyRhetorical #EngineersDisease #GeekLife #IT

I can’t believe Tuesday is only 4,000 days away


Finding this space in 2020’s calendar of perpetual Wednesdays (with the occasional Monday for good measure) is proving to be comical. But, hey we gained an hour last night. #FallingBackwards

When you create space to think and play and talk and connect and listen, and not be emailing, reacting, doing, meeting…You start to have breakthrough insights.



Bought 3 doz eggs at @BJsWholesale. One was broken. Bright side? This is likely the first time I've purchased eggs in a quantity evenly divisible by 7. #Brightside #theGlassIsThirtyfiveThirtysixthsFull


Huh, who would've thought that the unbalanced gender distribution in #STEM-related fields is due to culture and nurturing, rather than innate differences. #RaiseEmRight #LessDollsMoreRobots #CelebrateTheGeek

New research finds that young girls and boys have "indistinguishable" math abilities — contradicting the idea that men largely dominate STEM fields because their brains are wired that way. n.pr/32pd99X

This is an aces post by @keavy on what it is like to work as a very senior engineer -- not "tech lead" -- in a sizable org once you have earned up respect and autonomy. keavy.com/work/thriving-… Should be part of what every engineer reads when considering potential career paths.


Systems Integration isn't about coding to spec. It's duplicating someone else's mistakes as elegantly as possible. Blindfolded. Don't refer me to docs, show me reference implementations. #SquarePegRoundHole #SecretHandshakes #automation #IT #Frustration


Work in progress, nearing completion, a glimpse. Teacher schedule exports in native iCal format with section meetings linked as recurring events. Release imminent! #PowerSchool #Google #Calendar

Maybe @Grammarly could celebrate that some users can occasionally #unplug, especially over a holiday week, before suggesting that something is amiss? Enough with the #VacationShaming. #2cents #WorkLifeBalance #GamificationGoneWrong

Was listening to the debate while packing for a seaside vacation and can't get this out of my head. Moderator: What would you say to animal rights activists who decry our reliance on meat? Bernie: LOBSTERS ARE TOO DELICIOUS TO FEEL PAIN! #DemDebate #DontForgetTheSunscreen

"As an experienced engineer, my motto is 'Strong opinions, weakly held.'" "Um, that's stupid." "Good point. It is no longer my motto."
