I have done a little paid work remotely, because

  • I wouldn’t drop the ball on this data science project and
  • a little extra cash definitely won’t hurt.

This morning, I gladly helped Brad with his font rendering by being the rubber duck. Brad is building this very cool, professional-looking weather reporter. Indirectly, this reminded of the importance of free/libre fonts, which I first heard about at LibrePlanet 2015 (talk by Dave Grossland). I’ve never taken the time to dig deeper, but one day I may.

Today, I skipped the afternoon at RC to meet my parents at the airport: They are visiting for three days! I’m very happy to get to spend some time with them. I’m actually a little heartbroken about leaving my former place (and the people), even though moving to the new place is improving my overall living situation. So, I’m grateful for my parents’ support when dealing with the mixed emotions. I’m also super excited to be showing them what I like/know of NYC!
