Hello #Mastodon! I code #freelance and ♥️ #OpenSource / #FOSS, #Linux, #design.

I'm a one bag nomad. I've lived in 20+ cities in 10+ countries and don't plan to settle. ✈️🌎 My favourites: 🇯🇵 Japan where I climbed Mt Fuji and eat my favourite foods, 🇹🇭 Thailand where very nice people and my other favourite foods live. I hail from 🇨🇦 Canada.

I talk #tech, #gear, #travel, #food, #fitness. I doodle and drink too much coffee ☕. Excited to help build a healthy #federation!

- allows searching photos/scans of handwritten notes (ocr)

Hanging out at the inaugural STACK 2018 conference. I get to do some pretty fun stuff.

Pro tip: flying overseas, entertaining family, and attending conferences are all great ways to totally ignore your email and social media for weeks on end oops.

Damnit I sign in one time

Those first few post-around-the-planet-flight days are hard.

Super excited for improved Steam on Linux! This has the potential to reduce my productivity. Just the slight potential. https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561

Forgetting you're on a slow internet connection, trying to "dpkg -i" a ".deb.part" 😐

Okay this whole protein thing might just be getting a little out of hand

New blog post! Here's a look at my EDC for carry-on-only city travel. https://heronebag.com/blog/everyday-carry-for-the-constant-traveller/

One little-known risk of frequently changing countries... Forgetting that the #gym you're in has kilogram plates, not pounds. 😬

New day, new timezone, same emails to catch up on. 📨☕
